Is Fanatical safe to buy from?
I checked the history of this forum about them and saw that they changed their name from BundleStar and thought that was odd. Are they a legit safe site to buy from? Steam allowed?

Yes. It is an authorized reseller so you can safely purchase from there.

It's safe.
I purchased bundles from them multiple times and never had any issues.

So what? She/He just wanted to be sure. Also, it pretty much shows that she/he doesn't want to buy from shady re-seller, sounds good to me.

It's not hard to check on the internet. Literally takes 30s. Is Fanatical legit? Is Voidu legit? is Greenmangaming legit? Yes! Yes! Yes! is cdkeys legit? Err, who knows but they are the most reliable from the other side of the coin.

Better to ask here than Trust a YouTuber who has it out for a site.

Gamers on a gaming platform are a more reliable source than "the internet" in this case.

FWIW they're not "resellers", they're first-sellers, as in the keys are generated by the dev then given to the store to sell to you. Not given to some other buyer first.

Some great prices on there, I bookmarked and bought a game from them.

Getting easier and easier to not give Valve my money!

I don't have a problem with Valve, but sometimes the other shops just get better prices.

They're not "resellers" but for some reason, everyone calls the "resellers"
