Did someone who bought MH Rise from INSTANT GAMING got his key revoked?

[Arteemis]

Just to make a comparison if worth buying MH Wilds there.

[Jobko]

Kinguin, Humble Bundle, and Fanatical are the only ones I trust and use.

What is the longest buy you did from Fanatical? And got some game revoked?

Fanatical is an official retailer. They don't revoke keys unless you ♥♥♥♥ up.

Humble Bundle and Fanatical are a trusted official retailer that works alongside Steam. I refunded a game on Humble and Steam refunded it. They work together.

Kinguin not so much, but I’ve had 0 issues and got every single game I’ve purchased instantly no issues. You pay a small tax per purchase though.

CDKeys I wouldn’t trust. They promised me a key would work in my country and it took ages to get my money back. This happened multiple times with multiple keys, their site even bugged out and bought two keys once.

G2A is super shady and I have been scammed literally on their site and had to go through a secret link that the site didn’t show to fix my issue.

CDKeys is my go to place, ahve not had problems with them, always fast deliveries and even the once or twice ive pre-ordered something it did come on the release date.
Only key ever revoked from me was one from G2A

the shady grey market key seller? yea you're always taking a risk

[Keelan]

I only use CDKeys. Using them for over a decade no issues.

If you buy outside steam, the only legit retailers are listed on isthereanydeal.com If you buy anywhere else, you are at risk of losing it.

Outside of those ones Kinguin is the only one I trust. Been with them for several years with no issues. As you can see by my 1600 games (most on Humble though)

[Æternum]

i've bought dozens of game from g2a and dozens from kinguin depending on who was cheaper at the time. never had a single issue with either of them.

Heard people got their key revoked for PoE2 early access when they bought it on kinguin, but don't quote me on it. That said, best bet I think is just Fanatical and Humble Bundle, and I think green man. I believe those 3 works with steam.

Kinguin is essentially eBay for keys, just FYI. IG is one of the few websites that actually don't have third parties selling on it. I've never had issues with either, but I've read keys from IG being revoked a few times over the past year now.

Nothing shady about it, you're falling for propaganda. Anytime you're buying from a third party there's a risk of getting screwed over, even on official stores like Bamco's webstore you could run into issues as technically they're not "official" either, as in you're not dealing with Steam, but the publisher directly who's selling you Steam keys.
If you have the money and don't want any issues at all, only buy on Steam. Otherwise if you want discounts at any time or want delisted games, these third party sites are your best/only choice.
In 10 years I've only ever had issue with a single order, which I ended up getting my money back. Bought something where the seller didn't have any keys left, so after a short message exchange he gave me the refund.

I still find Kinguin more trustworthy and easier to get refunds on than G2A or CDKeys. It really is subjective, but I just have had 0 issues with them, while G2A and CDKeys have been a headache.

Using Instant Gaming for more then 10 years never had a single issue

Sorry, but that's some major ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

Every official seller is as official as Steam. Steam isn't the one that decides what store is official. Publishers do.

Steam isn't more trustworthy than other official sellers.
