I wan't to buy Battleborn and I was originally going to buy from G2A but decided against it because i've seen bad things about G2A and Kinguin has it's own sponsored MLG team. I know that shouldn't sway my decision, but it just makes it better for me.

Does anyone have any history with Kinguin?
How is the customer service (speed, reliability, etc...)

The question is, Where did it come from?

Neither of those 'sites' are actual resellers. Much like ebay, you're just buying from some dude, and they are the middleman.

Did you buy from G2A, if so did you activate G2A shield? I noticed that in order to activate it, you must subscribe to a monthly subscription of $2. How fast was the customer service?

Kinguin just looks much more professional compared to G2A.

Well, that was also an entire operating system. I might buy a low cost key and test it with the protection off. I'm really scared to buy, but I really want to try them at the same time.

Would MLG allow a scamming website to sponsor a team in their tournaments? This is an actual question and not me trying for an excuse to buy from them.

So it's almost like the Ebay of games?
Just activate Kinguin Buyer Protection/G2A Shield and I should be safe from faulty keys?

I bought several games from both sites, never had a smallest problem. Also bought 2 keys for Windows 10, which are activated and officially genuine. Never bought a shield with any of my purchases.
In nearly all instances had the key sent right away, except for "pre-orders", which all always got sent to me on the release day. I can't vouch for them, but for me it always works, no problems. And I always pay with paypal, would never use a credit card on those sites, just my own precaution. Plus when paying with paypal, if something is wrong you can always ask paypal for refund, no shield needed...
Also I've often used www.allkeyshop.com to find a cheapest site, and bought stuff just from random "cheapest" ones- never had a problem either.
