Hey, I’ve just bought The Witcher 3 on G2A, but didn’t noticed that it wasn’t for my Xbox. So I have a code which I won’t use. Anyone wants to take this off me? Send me a message, I’ll gladly give it to you. If you want to give me some pain relief I’ll send you my PayPal link.

You brought a key off G2A, oh dear...

(G2A is a well know. fraud and scam site, keys from their are regularly revoked)

Out of interest, why did you just register an account to palm off a dodgy key?

Really? I’ve buy keys from G2A very often, never had any issues.

To answer your question: I didn’t knew GOG (and actually still don’t), but that’s what the key title described. I won’t use the key, so why don’t make anyone else happy with the game?

If its a "GOG Key" then its highly likely to be fraud and the key will be revoked. Happens all the time. If I was you I would get a refund on G2A.

While G2A is known for not checking the keys sold there and it's possible to buy keys there that were bought using stolen cards, "highly likely" is a huge exaggeration. The majority of keys sold there are keys resold off sales or bundles, or bought off cheaply using regional prices, and never get revoked.

@detijdisrijp, the key is probably good, but if you can it might be a good idea to get a refund. People here are wary of G2A. It's a bit of a dodgy site and a grey area; I'm not sure if GOG allows reselling its keys.

Giving the key off here is fine, especially since you wrote where you got it from.

It could be a retail key? Isn't it then like any store selling the boxed version? (but leaving out the box+dvd in this case)

it's not that g2a themselves are dodgy, they just let all sorts of dodgy things happen without really doing anything about it. they were in the news a couple of years ago when there was a glut of key problems and a couple of publishers kicked up a stink.

they can be risky, but not everything on there is a scam. it's your money, you're probably an adult, you make your own decisions.

here's some incidental reading:

Thanks guys for clarifying. Didn’t knew G2A wasn’t as reliable as I thought it was. Anyway I checked with G2A and got a full refund within 1 hour, service worked perfect for me. Have a great day!
