Gamivo - But Why Tho

Xbox Game Pass is brilliant. While a few other companies have attempted to make the Netflix model work in the gaming sphere, Microsoft is the first to have really nailed it. Game Pass offers a huge selection of high-quality titles for a reasonable monthly cost. For as little as $9.99 a month you can enjoy unlimited access to Psychonauts 2, Guardians of the Galaxy, Assassins Creed Origins, and hundreds of other titles. If you’re not already a subscriber, you should be. And whether you are or not, you can save yourself a decent chunk of money by topping up your Xbox Live account with gift cards from  Gamivo.com. For the uninitiated, Gamivo is a digital game reselling site.

Why is that?

Simply put, a digital game reselling site is a platform that allows gamers to buy activation codes from other gamers, rather than from vast corporate distribution platforms like Steam or the PlayStation Store. There are some misconceptions around game resellers, which is why so many of us choose to waste our money on more expensive alternatives. To the unschooled, buying second-hand codes can seem risky, legally questionable, and even immoral. 

And that’s exactly how Nintendo, Sony, EA, Valve, Microsoft, and the other behemoths want you to feel. As long as you’re afraid to try platforms like Gamivo, you’re stuck paying inflated prices to companies that demand a 30% cut of every sale. 

To realize how silly this situation is, you only need to think of eBay, or your local yard sale. We’re all entitled to sell the things we don’t need, and activation codes are no different from boxed games in that regard. In most cases, sellers on Gamivo get these activation codes in bundles. 

If you’re anything like us, you’ve bought bundles in the past containing one or two games that you don’t need. What did you do with those codes? Chances are, you redeemed them anyway, just for the sake of it, or you just left them unredeemed in your inbox. Naturally, there are tons of ways to end up with unwanted activation codes. For instance, a person might receive an Xbox Live Gift Card as a gift or a prize, and find themselves unable to redeem it because they do their gaming on PS5. 

If you head to Gamivo in search of a cheap Xbox Live Gift Card to top up your account, this is exactly the kind of card you’re likely to be buying. 

And you’ll be buying it at a bargain price. A typical $50 gift card is available on Gamivo for as little as $43. That amounts to almost an entire month of Xbox Game Pass for free – and a nice little bonus for your seller. We call that a win-win. 

Gamivo is perfectly legal. But is it ethical? 

Yes. If anything, buying an activation code is more ethical than buying a boxed game. After all, a code can only be redeemed once while a boxed game can be played over and over again. 

The second-hand market in physical games creates revenue for a procession of second-hand sellers, but nothing for developers or publishers who need support. The final lingering question mark over the digital game reselling market is whether it’s as safe as buying games from an official store. This is where things are slightly less clear-cut. 

When you buy a code on Gamivo you’re buying from a private seller, and some private sellers are more reliable than others. If you’ve ever bought anything from eBay you know the score. 

But, like eBay, Gamivo offers a comprehensive suite of consumer protection measures, so you’ll never lose out. All sellers are officially registered with the platform, and they all have their own user ratings. Plus, Gamivo boasts a Consumer Protection Program, as well as 24/7 customer support if you choose to join the Gamivo Smart program. 

If you’re looking to cut the cost of your Xbox Game Pass subscription – or anything game-related, really – you should really be making Gamivo.com your first port of call.
