Not sure if it's the same for everyone, but it's better to double-check. If you used Paypal to subscribe and you unsubscribed from G2A's site, make sure to check on Paypal as well, since to me it showed the subscription was still active there.

Logic is, you continue it because you expect a great deal next time and possibly even forget about subscribing because you're too much into SUPERHOT already. And then BAM! Three months later you're -7,5€ and have some crappy games from them.
Well, I'm not gonna leave them now, I want to see what happens next month. You know, the price might go up next month and I will only pay 2,49€ which will be win for me (or not if the games suck).
G2A being shady a f this bundle seems to be too good to be true. (▀̿Ĺ̯▀̿ ̿)

Yeah, that's a common issue. It happens even with Humble Monthly. The cancelling of a subscription on a vendor site does not necessarily or automatically cancel the payment agreement with Paypal. You should always cancel both. Always.

G2A and devs of both Lords of the Fallen & Superhot are Polish. I'm pretty sure the whole deal is legit, but I have my doubts if they'll be able to provide equally good bundles in the future.
Comment has been collapsed.
I doubt in their future, they probably wanted to start with something great so they can lure crapload of people and show that there can be a bundle better than any humble monthly released so far (at least for that price, which is a steal).
But I'm pretty sure that the next one won't be as good as initial one. I'd advise to unsub immediately and wait to see what G2A has to offer next.
Maybe I'm wrong, maybe they'll really come up with Witcher 3 together with GTA V and Fallout 4 for 2.50 eur next, but I really doubt it :3.

Bought it and it works well (for now at least :D).
By the way, when you get the keys, you can ask for a discount for Dirt 4 and Syberia 3.
So yes, 1.50€ (+ taxes) for this bundle can be suspicious at first sight, but I assume it's purely a question of marketing. I suppose there will be a sequel for Lords of the Fallen and Superhot too, or new games from the same studios.
Humble Origin/Capcom/Ubisoft/Namco/etc Bundle did the same after all.
Comment has been collapsed.
Superhot might have some issues to be in other bundles like Humble. Region restrictions, taxes, conflict with Humble team, etc. I really don't know. I don't know the game, I don't know the publisher, I am clueless.
But it seems Superhot devs are about to release a card game on Steam, so...marketing.
Comment has been collapsed.
The deal is no longer suspicious now that we know that the keys will expire. That was the part of the agreement that G2A made with publishers to get them to agree to this. It makes perfect sense.
Comment has been collapsed.
I got that but then the keys were there 2 minutes later. Go to your Dashboard > Purchases > G2A Deals
Comment has been collapsed.
Okay. I just wanted to be sure you knew Bought Items and G2A Deals were two separate listings from your purchase history. That's a bummer that you don't have your games yet.

Is this going to be a once monthly thing like Humble Monthly?

Rofl, this bundle costs less than the pre-order for the Groupees "Be Mine 29" bundle.

DiRT 3 Complete Edition
N?I2P - XRI?L - YDLHE
Syberia
WI?Y6 - 4XTQ5 - I3E4C
Syberia II
76QFL - PGCAL - XHW?F
In all 3 keys the same number has been replaced with a question mark.

Here comes the trick already - even though it clearly says 2.49 Euros for next month sub on the promo page, in the email you get from them it now mentionss 2.99 to be charged next month, lol. That's G2A for you. And that's on top of advertising 1.5-2.5 Euros price yet charging PayPal or card fee anyway, sigh.

Reddit AMA (ask me anything) G2A thread:
https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/5rg9mo/we_work_for_g2acom_global_digital_marketplace/
TLDR; don't give these guys money.
Comment has been collapsed.
In general I agree; these guys are the scum of the earth, turning a blind eye to all the ways in which their gray markets hurt devs because they stand to profit.
But this deal actually seems like an example of them doing it the right way, getting keys direct from devs that can't be resold on G2A.
Comment has been collapsed.
Someone already contacted Superhot devs and apprentlyu they refused to comment
Comment has been collapsed.
I doubt G2A guys are that stupid to get themselves crapload of copies and sell at that price, it'd mean only a loss for them. They probably indeed made a deal with devs/publishers that agreed on that only because keys are supposed to expire on fixed date, so they know that after that date, there will be no floating copies around for 1$ each.
This is something that HB doesn't do with normal bundles that are paid for, at least from what I know. Maybe that's a reason why Superhot is so odd here - they simply wanted to get more players, but not destroy their title which bundling usually does, even monthlies, as game is forever considered "bundled" and worth almost nothing.

Sorry, I was wrong, I really thought it's Mercenary Kings. But nope, it was Saturday Morning RPG, took way too much time to find it because of bad memory :P Think Before You Bundle

what is the difference between subscription and one-time-buy when you can unsubscribe whenever you want?
Comment has been collapsed.
they might be banking on people not cancelling subscriptions like they did with the Shield...
Definitely.

FYI for US buyers (about half of SG users)
Just judging from the number of entries that North America region only giveaways (which also includes Canada) get compared to global giveaways with no region restriction set, I would have to say that the portion of SG users that reside in the US would seem to be far less than half.
Comment has been collapsed.
I don't think that's a great metric to use, given that most keys purchased there are region-free, but your point right is well taken nonetheless: the official stats are 17.2% of SG users are from the US, which is the largest of any country (https://www.steamgifts.com/stats/community/users). Russia is 2nd at 13.9%, and it trails off very quickly from there.
Comment has been collapsed.
You're right about the stat being overinflated, but North Americans don't give away that many region-restricted things because 99.5% of our keys and gifts are ROW. Everyone else has to constantly navigate the nightmare of region restrictions, we don't.
Comment has been collapsed.
I know, I was merely disputing the statement that half of SG users are in the US. Frankly, from what I have observed I'm surprised that it's even as high as ~17% and I have a feeling that many of those are inactive accounts (which the stats page does not account for).

lol
I'm sure the bundle itself is "legit" in regards to the fact that they are indeed valid keys.
However, to define G2A "legit" as a whole, would be patently false.
Comment has been collapsed.
why the laugh? if its legit its the most badass deal of any bundle in the history of bundles (ok well maybe not, but still a hell of a good deal!)
Comment has been collapsed.
One solid title (with short playtime), a few freebies, and a generic dark souls clone?
Comment has been collapsed.
Lol, paid with PayPal, took my money, but no keys. Said they'll email them later, anybody actually received that email yet?
Sorry for being skeptical with g2a -.-"
Comment has been collapsed.
Got the same message, tried to get my keys a few times on both chrome and edge, but it's been 3 hours and I've got no keys. I'm not skeptical, I know this can happen on any site and that I'll get them later, but it's still an inconvenience.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, same with me. It's been a few hours. Account page says order completed, but clicking on 'get keys' just gives the same message: Sorry, we got a lot of purchases.
We will send items to your inbox a few hours
Oh well. I guess "a few hours" could reasonably still be a few more. It's just frustrating and a bit concerning when others are receiving theirs straight away.
Comment has been collapsed.
I don't have an account page, the link they sent me is broken and this is more of a hassle than it should be :(

8ish hours after purchase update: After opening a support ticket and going back & forth a few times, I was told to keep waiting and I was also given a coupon. For a whopping 3% off. For one item. It's available for a week. Also, it's not really 3% off, the 3% goes in my G2A Wallet.
Comment has been collapsed.
Have you received your keys yet?
It's been 12 hours and counting for me. I opened a support ticket after three. I have had two responses, one telling me to use a different browser, and the latest telling me to provide them with a screenshot of the error page. sigh
Comment has been collapsed.
Glad it at least worked for you! I contacted them again a few hours ago and they just told me to wait because "they know about the problem", lol.
edit: Ended up contacting them again, telling them about a (your) case being escalated and that person getting the keys, and I finally got mine.

It's totally surprising, but it looks like G2A is trying to go more legit. They were able to get few publishers and create bundle a'la Humble Monthly.
February G2A Deal will have Superhot, Lords of the Fallen and Dirt3 and something more.
"February G2A Deal’s subscription price is only €1.50 for five wonderful games. And if you don’t want to subscribe just yet, you will always be able to test the waters with a one-time purchase for €2.50. And it goes live this Friday"
"
"Each Deal is created in close cooperation with game developers and publishers to make sure every gamer is satisfied with every pack, every month. All the keys are Steam-activated and acquired directly from developers to remove any unnecessary steps between you and your games."
Dirt 3 smells fishy (as it was removed from Steam, but maybe it was just Codemasters not wanting old game to take the spotlight from new titles?), but still, when tommorow there will be massive wave of Dirt-y Lords of the Superhot Fallen, you'll know who to blame.
Edit: Last two games are Syberia and Syberia 2.
"And when the time is right (between 12:00 – 20:00 CET (UTC+1) | 7 PM – 3AM PST (UTC+8)), we will be the first ones to give you a direct link, right here in this post. You will be just ONE CLICK AWAY FROM G2A DEAL"
Edit2: I think they screwed up times, why would they write "Deal will happen around afternoon in Europe which will be Night for America"?
Unless I missed the info Earth rotates in opposite way, so sun "travels" from west to east...
Edit3: "UPDATE
Due to technical problems we were unable to start the service at announced time. We are still working to deliver G2A Deal as fast as possible. We regret the inconvenience. Stay tuned."
So it begins...
Edit4: ALIVE
Worthy note: "You have to receive and activate those keys before 10th of April 2017. After this date, the keys will be deactivated. "

Edit5: G2A Deal's FAQ, thanks Rip777 for your comment.
Edit 6: Deal #2 to start on March 30th., games will be announced in next few days. Thanks Jaru93s. I plan to start new thread when full list of games will be announced (which shound happen before 29th, but who knows...), unless someone will decide to do it before me, no need to duplicate threads.
