Gamesplanet vs Kinguin

Gamesplanet is an online store where registered customers buy video games and related content for download. Its catalog covers genres including action, adventure, role-playing, MMO, strategy, simulation, arcade, indie, and sport. Games are listed for Windows PC, macOS, and Linux, with availability varying by title. Depending on the game, activation may use services such as Steam, Epic, GOG, Microsoft Store, Rockstar Social Club, Ubisoft Connect, and others. After payment validation, customers can access game files and related items such as serial numbers and activation keys under “My games”; no physical backup disc is sent. The store lists credit cards, Amazon, PayPal, Skrill, and Paysafecard as payment options. It also provides reviews, forums, profiles, and messages. Support covers download, installation, and payment questions through support pages, a contact form, and email. Gamesplanet says its connections are SSL-encrypted. A conditional 14-day withdrawal period applies before digital content access and activation-key conditions are met. Customers are responsible for checking each game's listed computer requirements.

Kinguin is a digital marketplace where buyers and sellers trade games and other digital products. Its listings include PC and console game keys, pre-orders, downloadable content, in-game items and currencies, software licenses, gift cards, subscriptions, hosting, wallets, and skins. Offer pages identify the platform, edition, activation method, seller, and regional restrictions. Products are unique keys redeemed on third-party platforms; Kinguin says it is not affiliated with those platforms unless an offer says otherwise. Buyers can access a digital assistant for activations and 24/7 chatbot support, with complex requests routed to the support team. Birdie lets buyers attach video evidence of activation issues to support tickets, and the Resolution Center can issue replacements or refunds. Kinguin Host provides game server, VPS, and web hosting. Its eCommerce API supports product imports and automated sales and key delivery, but access requires application and verification, two-factor authentication for client creation, and funds in a Kinguin eurBalance wallet before order dispatch. Subscription options include Noble's Tier at $3.59 a month, Knight's Tier at 17.95 USD per 6 months, and KING's Tier at $35.90 a year.
