As pc gamer (and new Deck owner) i’ve started to check any good game deals, mostly x games on Steam but not only. I’ve soon realize that there are great site like Humble to use to buy keys for cheap, but also “shady” sites with very low price keys who apparently sell non working keys or try to scam you. Did we have a list of the “Safest” site where buy games???

    I used “Instant Gaming” a few times without any issues. The initial registration is a bit annoying with their confirmation process, but after that everything works wonderfully well. Their prices are great, especially on older (i.e. not just released) games and DLCs. Never had any problems with or after activating the stuff using the keys I got.

    isthereanydeal.com lists only legitimate retailers, no second hand/grey market sites. Not exclusively Steam though, so check on the site before purchasing (though usually every website will be selling Steam keys except like Epic Games Store, Microsoft Store, Ubisoft, EA Origin).

    You can also link your Steam wishlist, set up alerts for when a game falls below a certain price, etc.

    Cheapshark is what I generally use. I haven’t bought stuff from every seller they track, but so far I havent had any issues with Humble, Greenman, GoG Fanatical, Gamebillet, or WinGameStore. Tho for the last two I’ve only made one purchase through them. Take it as you will.

    Their email notifications are pretty handy
