Buy from Steam, not a shady 3rd party key seller!

[Poyzo]

I'm currently playing Path of Exile 2 and there are MULTIPLE threads complaining about their PoE2 account getting locked. Turns out they bought their keys from 3rd party dealers and they were either revoked or resold.

Thus, brings me to Monster Hunter Wilds. I've been seeing threads talking about how much the game is ($10 more than usual) and it seems like people are searching for a cheaper price. DON'T DO IT! It's not worth you saving $5.

Theres a limit to how much shilling you can do for a multi-billionaire company, and you keep upping the ante every post.

There's plenty of legitimate resellers, like any of those listed on https://isthereanydeal.com/game/monster-hunter-wilds/info/
The only actual downsides to purchasing from these are
1. chance of key being late (low)
2. no refunds starting 48 hours before release or if you reveal/use the key
3. reviews won't count towards review score & you don't get Steam points

GMG is still trustworthy never had a problem with them, and they don't have poe2 listed because every poe2 "key" is a scam, the company said themselves, they didn't release keys to anyone.

I used GMG for Stalker2 for the 1st time and it worked out fine. The pre-purchase bonus content wasn't available day 1. It sort of filtered through later. Otherwise, OK.

Revoked for sure, yeah do not buy MP games from a shady re-seller like ♥♥♥,
they work only for SP games AND I would never put my credit card there, unless is pre-paid one...
Still better use Green Man Gaming or Fanatical instead. Which are official sides.

G2A is a third party user to user key reseller of sorts. It's not really what's being talked about when people mention getting the game 16% off from key sellers before it releases.

The sites others are talking about are working with Capcom, the discount stems from the fact Valve normally charges a 30% commission. The 30% saved is partially passed onto the consumer to entice them to buy on a third party platform that is more inconvenient than Steam. Capcom gives these sites keys, and collects money for the purchases in return. But Capcom or any publisher can only generate so many of these keys at once, and people might have to redeem those keys before more keys can be generated. So some purchasers can be left waiting hours or even days after the game is released just to get their keys on launch day. It happened with MH:Rise and Resident Evil 4 (2024).

Yeah, you're right. Apparently no cd keys given for poe 2. So probably dudes got scammed.

Honestly, I kinda enjoy like everyone else to get a game as cheap as possible but with most MH Games, I gonna just buy them directly on steam or a store. MH deserves my cash, I love the games.

You completely made that up and we can tell. This is not how any of this works.
