Is the GMG pre-order legit?

[Bona_X5]

I know GMG itself is a legit site, but I noticed that other reputable legit stores like Fanatical and Humble Bundle don't have the pre-order available while GMG does. That gives me the impression that GMG might have opened pre-orders without knowing if they'll actually get keys for that version and rather are expecting the normal post-launch keys without the bonuses.
I'm asking as there I'd get a discount due to being an XP member, but I want the bonuses so I'm wondering if it's safer to simply buy it here on Steam at full price.

Not all stores manage to properly inform their customers about the products they offer, so if anything that is an issue with them.

GreenManGaming is an official retailer and they get their codes directly from the official source, no different from Steam. What they say they offer they will deliver.

Yes, GMG, Fanatical, etc are authorized resellers, not grey markets. GMG is by far the largest and most well-known of the bunch, so they are usually the first one to be sold keys and sometimes exclusively are the ones allowed to sell any copies off steam.

So it's not surprising they got it first.

These days, preorder bonuses are prepackaged into baseline keys, so you don't have to worry. I've used them for years without problems.

GMG is a trusted site and other you mentioned are as well. I bought countless of time from GMG. They will deliver the keys on time if you P.O. If it supports Pre-Load, you will get them earlier.

Thanks guys, I decided to purchase it on GMG then.
Coincidentally it seems that the pre-orders just became available on Fanatical too. Humble should be next.

I refunded normal edition from steam after the nikke trailer release. I went over to GMG to purchase completed edition for discounted price.
Now awaiting for activation key.
Based on above replies, i glad that Pre-order bonus will be issued too!

i used them for Dragons Dogma 2, everything worked as expected, they tend not to give you much information on the process however. But you will get the code on time once the game launches i believe, if not right now.

It's not my buisnees what you do with your own money. However...
Why do you even purchase something that is not there? When do you guys learn? NO PREORDERS. You want the game soo badly? Then buy it at the day of release. You are afraid they run out of keys?
At least you will then pay for actual product even though it is digital. Not whatever that is currently. They may have or don't have that keys and you willingly gave them your money based on what. A cat in the bag that may or may not actually be there?
I never understand that hot headed players behaviour.
And tbh -10% is not much imo.

Green Man Gaming is an official reseller for Steam, Ubisoft and EA and 100% legit. A Steam key is a Steam key so if Steam offers preorder bonuses and you get your key from Greenman then it will be the same preorder key as if you bought it from Steam.

It's been on Fanatical for a few weeks.
Humble goes to a 404 page. The CHUDs probably complained and got it taken down.

[Diminutive]

GMG is pretty trustworthy, won't change the fact you won't get a refund if you end up needing one.

Buying from a reseller like gmg are always final, so if your pc can't run it for whatever reason, it's yours forever.
