    Testing out a compressed mesh format that's looking promising :D

    It reduces vertex precision down to 2 decimal places, but also reduces filesize by a major major amount .

    Generally I have found cdkeys.com to be pretty good. As far as I am aware they use the purchase in cheaper regions method (as opposed to some of the even more sketchy methods used on G2A [such as using stolen credit cards]). I have never had an issue and they also get a 9.6/10 on trustpilot so it would seem others don't either.
    They are especially good when they have a sale on, usually I don't pre-order stuff or buy new releases but I pre-ordered justCause3 from them for £17.65 .

    I've received every single one of these, and never had an issue with them.

    Yeah G2A has been fine for me so far. I think the main issue with it was how the keys come to be. They are often bought in the 1000s through credit cards that are then cancelled after the digital copy is delivered. Which means they can be sold for 100% profit at low prices This also means can often be revoked after the person who took them has sold them. I think thats what happened with Sniper Elite 3 if I recall right.

    But yeah its not been a problem for me.

    I bought from G2A and the only thing that really ruined my mood was that they advertise prices without tax and that additional fee at the end of a purchase, so naturally every game looks cheap compared to Steam. Of course, the savings are there but still....

    Its not that. Its that they are bought with *stolen* credit cards. Legally by buying through G2A, about 90% of the time you are committing a crime in the UK, property purchased with stolen credit cards is legally stolen in its own right, and therefore if the purchase was traced you yourself are screwed for handling stolen property.
    Some of the keys are also keygenned, so themselves stolen property from a legal perspective.

    What has been said above me.
    Also, some publishers will not think twice about revoking keys obtained illegally.
    Devolver, Ubisoft and others have done that already (Google Devolver/Ubisoft G2A Revoke) . If that happen, you are on your own.

    *This applies only to some keys sold there. I'm not implying that ALL of the keys sold there are illegally obtained, but you have no guarantees (the G2A shield is pretty much a marketing thing to gather extra bucks..)

    Then, it's your money, so you choose what to do.

    I used to use Avast but it was getting far too bloated. I uninstalled it when they installed their own web browser on my computer (which is just a skin of firefox with less options). Now I just have MSE, which is pretty crap afaik but it seems to be doing the job.
