FAQ: stores and retailers

Questions about the stores and retailers we track.

Supported Stores

Which stores do you track?

We track three kinds of store, and each listing says which store it comes from.

Platform stores. The publisher or platform sells to you directly.

  • Steam
  • PlayStation Store
  • Xbox Store
  • Nintendo eShop
  • Epic Games Store
  • GOG.com

Retailers. They buy keys from publishers and sell them to you.

  • Fanatical
  • Green Man Gaming
  • GamersGate
  • GameBillet
  • WinGameStore

Key marketplaces. Third party sellers list keys and the marketplace hosts the sale.

  • Kinguin
  • GameSeal
  • GAMIVO

What is the difference between a retailer and a key marketplace?

A retailer sources keys from the publisher or its distributor and sells them under its own name. On a key marketplace the seller is a third party, so the price is usually lower and the key's origin, the activation region and the refund terms come from that seller rather than the marketplace.

We list both and label which is which. Read the seller and region details on the store's page before you buy.

Affiliate Links

What are affiliate links?

When you click a link to a store, it contains an affiliate code. If you make a purchase, we earn a small commission.

Does this affect the price I pay?

No. You pay the exact same price as if you went directly to the store. Our commission comes from the retailer, not you.

Can I opt out of affiliate links?

The affiliate links are how we fund the service and keep it free. If you prefer, you can search for the game directly on the retailer's site.

Store Issues

A store link isn't working. What do I do?

Try these steps:

  1. Refresh the page and try again
  2. Check if the store is having technical issues
  3. Contact us if the problem persists

The price at the store is different from what you show.

Prices can change between our last check and your visit. Each price shows when we last checked it. Confirm the price on the store's page before you buy.
