That looks like a typical over expensive CE. That shirt is tacky as hell.
When did that happen?

I eagerly await the announcement of Randy Pitchford taking over as CEO of Weyland-Yutani.

I don't remember the exact date but it's been a while. Almost a year ago would be my guess.

He always reminds everyone that he's a huge Aliens fan so really it's a perfect fit.
And afaik Kripp is dropping G2A when possible, if hasn't already.
Ellohime, one of most vocal G2A supported also dropped them.

Lirik ended it in July 2016

Kripp and Ello I don't know much about. Good to hear Ello gave them the finger after that huge mess a few years back.

PR must stand for poor rationale in this case. What a bizarre move by Gearbox.

And what does a shitty stance that he took years ago have to do with this?

lmao at the OP reading like a classified document.
G2A should have come out in support for JonTron and TB's head would have exploded trying to figure out if he likes or hates them.

They're also holding Bulletstorm 2 ransom with this game iirc. The ol' "if this sells well, then maybe".

That t-shirt guarantees a lifetime of virginity for those who dare to wear it. Horrifying.

Why would they think this is a good idea at all? I know Gearbox have made quite a few really absurd decisions but surely they can't be that oblivious to the terrible reputation G2A has? It just seems like it's terrible choice after terrible choice with them. The pricing, lack of meaningful additions and not caring about original fans were already bad enough with the Bulletstorm Remaster and this just makes the whole thing seem far worse.
Oh no. Gamestop is way worse. I was a manager for almost eight years, attended quite a few regional meetings, and I promise you, the higher-ups are the very definition of scum.

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
At this point I wouldn't be surprised if they somehow managed to cram GFWL in there as well.
War Raichu

considering this game exists solely to make a version of Bulletstorm that doesn't have GFWL and charge full price for it, that would be an impressive swerve

Gearbox are trying their damndest to try and sink Bulletstorm as an IP.
Wow really, wtf? We had bit of a backlash here in Finland with our oldest (and best!) games magazine (25 years now), G2A had bought ad space from them and even included 3 euros gift card. I was really surprised that the magazine staff wasn't even aware of the reputation of G2A, though they were quickly informed and those adds didn't appear again in future magazines.
TB's views on the issue: http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1spp1mm
A must read in my opinion. Also I will eat a crow if G2A agrees to those terms.

I think this deserves a new thread
* Extremely Overpriced Remaster of an okay game of last gen
* Not even remastered to a high quality
*Has DRM
*Pairing up with a extremely shady key seller
* Even more overpriced special edition
Have I missed anything? Who at gearbox thinks any of the descicions they are making over the past few years are good.

I'd say don't give Randy ideas but...
Eugh. The thought of BL3 being G2A on PC is baaaad. Gearbox are such a bizzare company...
This is a really good write up
