CDkeys - are they legit?

Hi guys !!

I came across this site named CDkeys, they sell games for insanely cheap prices. I want to know, is this a "legit" site? In other words, like Humble Bundle. The keys you buy, is it Steam keys or not?

If it is anything like G2A, I'm not interested at all.

TIA

They aren't the shadiest of resellers out there from how they operate but no they aren't an authorised reseller of keys (they get the keys directly from a publisher) unlike sites like HumbleStore, GreenmanGaming, etc.

Pond scum stays pond scum, no matter how "nice" they act.

luckily if you chargeback on g2a, they never respond, so if you so end up getting an illegitimate key, you can win any dispute vs them on paypal, that said best to avoid entirely.

Yes, HumbleBundle is a third party reseller, but they at least are authorized and a legit business.

Isn't Humble Bundle a second party seller? They get their keys from the first party (developers/publishers).
CDKeys buys their keys from second party business.

The customer is the second party.

In commerce, a "third-party source" means a supplier (or service provider) who is not directly controlled by either the seller (first party) or the customer/buyer (second party) in a business transaction.
