Where to buy steam keys from?

[gmheadcrab]

ive been looking into steam keys for dark souls 3 Deluxe since its pretty pricey. i looked at a few sites, a few decent ones i came across was CDkeys,g2a and isthereanydeal. Which one is the most safest route? or should i just buy it off of steam? (CDkeys has the best deal for the game)

I bought Elders Srolls v Skyrim from Bethesta on CD worked fine with Steam key.
CD keys would be fine as the Steam key should be on the back.
You need to check if the external store have a Steam key.
DARK SOULS™ III is provided via Steam for Windows.
or Wishlist it wait till sale,

isthereanydeal lists the legit stores you can buy from, so I recommend it.

The other 2 you mentioned, are grey market sites and known to scam people out of their money so please, try to avoid them.

I think you are a bit confused. CDKeys is a website, the OP isn't talking about physical discs with a literal CD/steam key.

Anyway, OP, CDKeys and G2A are both considered grey market key resellers and not authorised key distributors. The sites listed on isthereanydeal are all legit, and CDKeys and G2A aren't on there for a reason. In fact, Steam even censors G2A. The problem with these sites is that there is always a chance your key is revoked because it was bought with a stolen card or something like that.

No where has it at any decent price at the moment, going by isthereanydeal. You can wait for a better sale, I would suggest doing so. On Steam, it goes on sale for 50% off fairly often.

I mean if you go to your local demon and offer them one of your immortal soul, they'll give you a steam key.

The stores listed on isthereanydeal.com buy the keys directly from the distributors. I can recommend humblebundle.com , fanatical.com , greenmangaming and wingamestore Those are all legit
