Current Events > Gearbox pulls out of distribution deal with G2A

(+) Yeah! (+)

http://www.pcgamer.com/gearbox-demands-major-changes-from-g2a-threatens-to-scuttle-partnership-if-theyre-not-met/

Looks like G2A has no interest reasonable consumer rights and attempting to clean up their act, and have shown their true colors.

Do not support G2A, they are a den of stolen and ill gotten game keys. Their supporters in this case are literally against consumer rights.

Executives at Gearbox literally didn't know what was going on with G2A. Take-Two Interactive is the one that deals with bullshit as a result of bad Gearbox keys being sold on G2A so they didn't know. TB dug out his archive of bullshit G2A has done over the years to hand over to them and they backed out immediately.

When your entire business model can come crashing down on you by a single youtuber, your know your whole setup is shady as hell.

Yes, that sure is a summation of what happened...why are you replying to me? It's obvious TB was the impetus for this. It's in the article..

I've been telling people G2A is sketchy as fuck but they don't believe me because they see streamers being partnered with G2A.

the issue is G2A actually does sell legitimate keys--or rather they don't actually sell anything, but other people sell legitimate keys through them, and the people who end up with those legitimate keys have no reason to doubt future transactions. They haven't been burned yet. It's fundamentally equivalent to saying "Hey, a guy on Craig's list got me a good deal on something and that means everyone on Craig's list is trustworthy."

Because people mass marked the comment calling them out on not actually reading the initial link.

Basically I called them out as being shitposters and they got butthurt.

EDIT: A couple of them are posting in this topic, but since they're so thin skinned, I won't mention names, lest they go crying to the mods again.

The only people I know who use G2A are people who use it to get Shark Cards cheap, and I can't get mad at that cause fuck Shark Cards.

How did you come to the "set off by everything" conclusion? Giving you the benefit of the doubt, I apparently have been set off by "one thing".
