About Me

Hey, I’m Cypher.

Let’s keep it real: I’m poorer than dirt right now.

I’m scraping by, barely making it to work, and I can’t even afford most of the deals I write about… yet.

But that’s exactly why this blog exists.

I’m not some sponsored reviewer with a closet full of free gear. I’m a broke gamer who’s been burned by fake discounts, dead key sites, and “too good to be true” traps one too many times.

So I started BrokeGamerDeals as my lifeline, and maybe it can be yours too.

Here, I dig into the real side of game deals:

🔍 Which key sites actually deliver (and which vanish after payment)

🔍 Where prices are truly lowest—factoring in safety, not just cents

🔍 What gear actually lasts when you can’t afford to replace it

I test what I can, verify everything I share, and only recommend what I’d risk my own (very limited) cash on.

That includes Kinguin, a marketplace I’ve trusted for years and now partner with as an affiliate. If I link to them, it’s because I’ve bought from them myself, checked seller ratings, and believe it’s one of the safer places to grab a deal. And yeah, if you use my link, I earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. That support helps keep the vault running while I’m still grinding paycheck to paycheck.

If it’s in the vault, it’s legit,
not because someone paid me to say so, but because I’ve vetted it like my rent depends on it. 

                  (Spoiler: it kinda does.)

This blog? It’s my shot at climbing out of the grind.

And if it helps you save a few bucks while you’re stuck in it too, well then, we’re already winning.

Join me in the vault.

No fluff. No scams. Just real talk for broke gamers who still love to play.
