Big scam. Bought something a week ago, but recevied no code. Sent them an email, no response but claim to get back to you in 24 hours. DO NOT BUY

5 days after buying a key from the website. No signs of life. Emailed support but nothing back. They "aim" to get back to you within 24 hours. Opened a dispute in PayPal. Nothing back. Claims instant delivery. Account centre on the website doesn't work. PayPal will probably issue a refund but save your time and don't bother.

Claims to be official distributor by using the term "Official Distributor" but then actually not specifying anywhere for WHOM. Bought a key for a game and did not receive it in the email. Instant delivery.. yeah, right. Then tried to register an account, and did not receive an activation link as claimed. There is no "resend activation email" function anywhere either. When emailing them (early in the morning), they had an automatic response that said "Out of office" and where they stated their opening hours.. like, what? It's an indirect form of communication. What are you talking about? They also claim to get back to you within 24 hours, and now we are pushing two days. I have sent a few more emails, and just silence. Smelling an awful lot like a scam. Not very reassuring that there are no mentions about them in the past 6 years online except here, and that wherever it is, it seems like people agree that they used to be an official Steam retailer, but failed, and then about 7-8 years ago was bought up and turned into a site selling listings from grey market sites. Came to them to avoid exactly that after having another key being revoked after a week, by ANOTHER scam artist on an actual grey market site (i.e. not official retailer). So went from playing a game frequently for a week to now not having access to it, and then to Games Republic holding money without delivering and thus.. cannot continue playing the game. Stay CLEAR of this site.

So now I have no key, and I can't exactly spend the money elsewhere as I don't want to spend it again until I have it back if I don't receive the key.

EDIT: The reply is complete BS. It was not more than a couple of hours from opening a dispute at PayPal that they suddenly showed signs of life. Not a surprise that they have BS excuses like these, reading the other reviews...
Again: STAY CLEAR!

Good price, fast payment and the key was delivered within minutes.

I Bought a game, but still don't got a key.
i buy it like 5 days ago and they didn't send me the key

Got couple of games during Cyber Monday in good prices. Nice and straight to the point experience, no intrusive ads or recommendations, got what I came for and I'm happy with the low prices! All keys OK.

No objections.

The key works, low prices, it is not competition for steam but I am not complaining. The waiting time for the key is bearable. 😉

Awesome
I bought outer wilds and the waiting time for the key actually about 30 minutes, but all smoothly. they have nice prices too

I'm very happy with the service, game I bought was at a reasonable discount (it was a classic game), but what was most important to me was that the product was available and the key was activated without any issues. Didn't get any problems with transaction.

I've been buying games form Games Republic for a few years now, they've got good prices for a lot of nice games (only buying when games are discounted though). Every now and then I wait longer for keys to be delivered, but they are always 100% working well, so I really don't mind.

This is the worst place to buy a game, i bought Skyrim special edition on friday on their webpage, i didn't know about the working days of the company, i didn't receive my key to activate my game with my order, so i waited till monday, and still today i haven't received a response from the support team, it's like they are ignoring me, i just want my game or a refund, don't buy from this webpage there are better alternatives, like greenmangaming

Dont buy from this page! it's a scam you won't get anything!

Bought a game, but still don't got a key.
Wrote an eMail to the Support and they don't answer.

another non-instant delivery of a steam key, that was paid via paypal and funnily enough without any prompt for an account to be made...

On the product page the said "instant delivery" - not true!
My order history says: Status: completed
But hours later I still have not got the key that I ordered.

Can NOT recommend this shop!

Ordered a key via instant Delivery. Didn't receive anything. Support is not responding.
Would give 0 Stars if possible. Next time i rather burn my money than try to buy something from here.

Edit: I got my money back. Still wasted a lot of time for nothing, but not a scam just bad service.

I received my code after 30 minutes. Code was valid so I could play right away.

Bought a game with instant delivery. Didnt get a key - support not responding so far.
Warning: I wouldnt buy at this shop!

Updated review, got my key everything is fine, I guess they just don't send keys on the weekends could just write it on their store. But overall its fine, support answered in about 3-4 hours that was pretty fast than I initially have thought :)

Key is fully working and everything is fine, will buy again, but I guess dont buy it on weekends so you wont have to wait :)

OK for the reminder I will change the review the moment I get my key. But now I ordered pirate warriors 4 and it said instant delivery and I didn't received almost an hour passed.
I wrote support but it seems they don't have 24/7 support so now I m stuck in a void with my money gone and no key. I hope this site can send me my key cause I kinda like the site its simple but not effective as I thought.

Ordered Chimera Squad like most people here at the end of April.
Never got a key, neither in the email nor on their website.
I contacted them a day later asking for a refund.
Monday morning I got an email from them apologizing and saying my refund was approved.
Emailed a week after to check with them when I could expect to get my refund, with no reply from them
It has now been over a month and I have yet to receive my refund.

Things happen

Like some other people here, I pre-ordered XCOM: Chiimera Squad just a day before release, reviews were already out. Cheapest price was this website. I received a broken e-mail upon payment. Release day came and key was not sent. I waited for Monday (27/04) to e-mail them, since they were closed on weekends, this is stated on their website. Reply came with the justification that some informatics error had occurred, and they asked if I wanted the key still or a refund. I chose the key, received it after a short time.

Conclusion:
Things happen
Upon contacting them they were very clear, professional and fast on making sure I was satisfied.
Will buy from them again if the price is right, just not a pre-order. Too many variables to account for.
