Buying AoE3 Complete Edition from G2A.com

Post by Summer »

Hi
I wanted to start playing AoE3 again but my laptop doesn't have a CD entrance, so I will have to buy an online version. I found this site where AoE3 Compete Edition is much cheaper than it is on steam, but I was wondering if it is safe to buy there. The site is https://www.g2a.com/age-of-empires-iii- ... ore=brazil

The site says that I will receive an activation code to use in steam. https://www.g2a.com/media/activationins ... c0244b.pdf

So if anyone has any experience with this site or can tell me if it is ok to buy it from there, I would greatly appreciate.

If I buy the game as a steam gift will I be able to create a new ESO account?

Yes, you should get an unused cd-key, which allows you to create 1 ESO account.

Só pra contrariar a todos, já viu muita polemica com o g2a, não sobre o age3 mas sobre outros jogos, com gente recebendo key usada. Recomendo esperar a promoção da steam que o aoe3 fica por 10 reais caso não queria arriscar.

I've seen a lot of controversy arround g2a, not specifically about aoe3, but on other games, there were reports of people receiving used keys... I would recomend waiting for steam sales if you want to be 100% sure.

Beleza, acho que vou esperar um pouco pra comprar entao. Essas promoções da steam acontecem toda hora ou demoram um pouco pra aparecer?

De acordo com esse website: http://www.whenisthenextsteamsale.com/
A próxima steam sale só irá acontecer em 23 de Julho :(
g2a deve vender milhares de contas por dias, pequenos problemas sempre podem acontecer, eu ainda acho uma boa ideia você comprar lá.
De qualquer forma eu posso te emprestar uma conta enquanto você não compra a sua.


The next Stream sale will only happen on 23 July if this website is right: http://www.whenisthenextsteamsale.com/
g2a should sell thousands of accounts everyday, small problems may can happen. I still think is a good idea to buy there.
Anyway I can give you a account to play until you buy one.

recent events arround g2a, apparently g2a doesnt check anything on the store, so while most keys there are legit, I could make up a bunch of fake keys, sell them on g2a, and they would only know after a user bought them and complained.
