GreenManGaming is one of the best sites for getting Steam keys. They're all completely legit and GMG generally runs 20% off [or more] sales on nearly every upcoming game.

It's like that price everywhere pretty often. (Or close to, it's been $5 for the last year.) Steam, Humble Store, GamersGate, BundleStars, etc.

I've looked on eBay before for keys bundled with graphics cards. That way I know where they're coming from.

I used to use Green Man Gaming, but lately I've been buying games directly from Steam and GOG. The prices are nearly the same and since I rarely buy games day one it makes almost no difference to my finances.

Directly from Steam or GoG. Sometimes Humble Bundle if it is decent (hasn't been in like a year though.  :doge)

Greenman isn't bad, but I don't use it outside of those free-game giveaways they used to do.

Steam (no problems with returns that way), Green Man Gaming, and Bundlestars for me.  I don't have U-Play installed and have avoided Ubisoft games because of it.  Only buy the EA games on Origin.  And have Battle.net for Overwatch.

Out of all the key sites I usually see the best deals on CDKeys, at least for brand new releases. Never bought anything from them myself, but they're supposedly legit.

GOG/cdkeys/Humble Store mainly. I might have used Direct2Drive or Gamersgate once in the past. Can't remember which.

I had about two dozen games on Direct2Drive. I could thankfully migrate the most important ones (Witcher 2 among them), since the platform has changed hands a lot of times.

If I must buy from Steam, I've been trying https://uk.gamesplanet.com/ lately, often much cheaper for those of us outside the US.

He crossed some line he wasn't supposed to cross. Something about a thread he made.

Oh, I misunderstood the question. Yeah, splinter forums probably weren't worth his time.
