Firstly I'm not sure where this thread should go, so delete it or move it, my conscience willl not allow me to pass by without leaving this warning.
G2A are a games key seller that provides cheaper games keys for platforms like Steam and Origin from "sellers" in a "marketplace", although I suspect this is a ruse to avoid any responsibilty when things go wrong.
I spent not a little money on G2A to get a key to Dragon Age: Inquisition (2015). Having recieved a key, I copied it into the EA Origin launcher and it activated Dragon Age: Origins (2009) instead. The procedure according to the G2A faq is to "contact the seller directly" through your accounts dashboard. However: Logging in, no accounts control buttons anywhere. This put me into a frustrating loop of contacting customer services who insisted that I had to contact the seller direct and me pointing out that I was not able to. A week later after repeatedly demanding my money back or a working games key, they sent me another key, which to my surprise was actually a key to the right game, but when I went to activate it, "KEY ALREADY USED" popped up.
A little research reveals what I suspected - G2As customer service and 100% G2AShield guarantee is a complete joke. Many people have been sold fake/used/invalid keys and G2As customer service has been useless and even deliberately evasive.
So if you are considering buying an Elite: Dangerous Steam key from G2A, DONT DO IT.
