Does the negative opinion of key resellers point to G2A and Kingpin that seem to put you with an unnamed reseller, a bit like eBay? Or does it also include discount resellers like cdkeys and instant-gaming?
Any site that allows customers to resell is a culprit of supporting the grey market. Even if they vet their resellers, you'll get the occassional hacked accounts, and legitimate resellers "turning" rogue after reaching their target reputation.
Use https://isthereanydeal.com to find actual discounts. Or buy on Steam. Or pirate it. Never support grey market.
+1 for ITAD. I've used it for years and it's great.
Fanatical is not a reseller, right? That's what I've used and it's never failed on me once so far, across years. I've never touched G2A, etc. due to used-key concerns.
Fanatical is listed in ITAD, so it's fine. Albeit I dislike their lootbox monetization these days.
