Never used the site before and the games are way less than steam. Is this a scam site?

never had any issues with them personally…have used them for PS4 and XB1 games in the past…I have read complaints about codes not working and folks having to contact them about it but again for me the experience has been fine

Thanks for all the help. Never played god of war and thought it should be way cheaper. CD keys had it for 41% off. Steam had it full price.

Been using them forever, only ever had one issue (the pic they sent me of a code had one of the characters cut off so I couldn't redeem it) and they gave me a new code within 20 minutes. Inventory is sparse though, I usually end up using a combo of CDkeys, greenmangaming, humblebundle, and occasionally fanatical. Deals is a good tool to use to find the lowest price on games but they don't list the grey market sites (cdkeys, c2a, etc) on there so you still might find cheaper elsewhere.

CDKey held me down for years for dirtcheap games. The main issue with sites like that, is the fact that you are buying keys from sketchy parties. So there's a possibility the games are stolen but :yeshrug:
With CDkeys, my understanding is they exploit differences in regional pricing instead of gathering codes from questionable sources, which is why they are looked at as a step above the other grey market sites.

OP, if you haven't bought the game yet, consider using my referral code: God of War PC
