Using gift cards or buying it directly is just a matter of personal taste. The game would still be the same. Just don't buy it on some 3rd party key stores and only download the game from minecraft.net.

I know (online*)shop that legally sells Minecraft for more than 50% discount with no security/etc issue. This website is set up by guy from my class 5 years ago, However, companies avoid targeting this method of selling to high-income countries where they fight for paycheck because they succeed in that. It is no fake that you can buy minecraft from some 3rd party and for less price.

It looks like your graphics card doesn't support OpenGL or your drivers are outdated.
- For dedicated graphics cards, go to the card manufacturer's site (Nvidia, AMD etc.) and download the driver for your card and OS.
- For integrated graphics, go to your motherboard manufacturer's site
and download the driver for your motherboard and OS. Make sure you download the correct driver because quite a lot of older motherboard don't have Win10 drivers for example and installing Win7 drivers will cause problems.
There's also a guide on how to upgrade your drivers on Minecraft's page.
