G2A.com (normally referred to as G2A) is an online video game distribution marketplace co-founded by CEO Bartosz Skwarczek and Dawid Rożek[2][3] The platform allows users to sell video games to customers. The site currently has over 6 million customers and serves 250,000 new customers each month.[4] Similar to eBay, G2A itself does not sell the keys and software on the site, the users do. G2A acts as a intermediary, connecting the buyer to the seller. This has caused controversy in the gaming community.[5] G2A offers a protection against fraudulent sales called "G2A Shield", a paid service. G2A sponsors multiple gaming teams, including Cloud9 and Natus Vincere.
On 1 December 2015, G2A, along with multiple Twitch.tv streamers, YouTubers, websites and gamers participated in a program dubbed #GamingTuesday. It was to raise funds for the charity Save The Children.[6] In 2014 to 2015, G2A raised over $500,000 for Save The Children.[4]
G2A, partnered with Bachir Boumaaza, the creator of Gaming for Good, created the Humanitarian Emergency All-Out Response Team (HEART). Both projects were designed to help and support children, charities and help with disaster relief. G2A had partnered with Boumaaza before in projects like Gamers got Heart.[4]
