Oh come on. Say what you will about GameStop but putting them in the same league as G2A is just overreacting.So that's 2 most hated stores getting support from publishers
Bungie+GameStop
Gearbox+G2A
Who's next.
Any actual support or proof of all this g2a tomfoolery? I've always read things like that about them on here, but don't think I've seen any actual proof. I haven't purchased from them (yet) either because of the bad image, but I've noticed that they have a couple esports teams sponsored. So I'm genuinely curious.

That's our TB, always taking a stand when he knows something isn't right.
I will always give Gearbox credit for mostly doing right by the Homeworld franchise, but what fresh hell is this?
This past Sunday I was at the airport in Innsbruck, and there was a boy (elementary school age) with a t-shirt with a massive G2A logo on it. I had to do a double take at that, and then point out my incredulity to my coworkers (who of course had no idea what I was talking about).
When I saw the shirt from the other side I figured out it was actually from an eSports team. Still, goes to show just how much marketing G2A is doing.
Shit, one of the big people that G2A is tied to is PewDiePie right?
And Lirik, and Jackfrags, and Kripp...and like half of twitch streamers
so who is scamming whom here???
Well, except for that one time.................................That's our TB, always taking a stand when he knows something isn't right.
Homeworld is probably the least bullshit thing they've done in many years. Then you have shit like Colonial Marines and the DLC bullshit with the Borderlands franchise.
This is the same guy who accused people of condemning Jontron's racism as virtue signalling. Hypocrite.
There are several Esport organizations that will deny access if you are promoting or sponsored by G2A.They've also lost people who were sponsored by then but eventually left, due to people outing out the company. But at the end of the day, most don't care as it's free/easy money, with little regard that they are promoting crooks.

I know they've approached my site, multiple times, to see if we wanted to work with them with advertising. Apparently "Not a snowballs chance in hell" was enough, because I got another one 2 weeks ago.
thanks! will give those a read in a bit when i need to pretend like im working 0_0I'm not sure if it's the same thing talked about in that video too, but here's a giant screenshot chain from their backfired reddit ama. Somebody points out with multiple proofs that they're scamming people and g2a ends up finding his account, locking it, and essentially stealing all his site credit.

Yet that has nothing to do with this, now does it?
You can boycott Gearbox and G2A and still call out TB for being no better than them. LOL, maybe even worse.
It's like they don't want to sell stuff.
I was thinking the same, only with less love for the game (it was OK to me, but nothing more than that). Who wants to pay $266 for Bulletstorm in 2017? And partnering with G2A, of all sellers...I enjoyed Bulletstorm as much as the next guy, but who are these huge Bulletstorm lore fans clamoring for expensive limited edition figures of the characters??
Really? You can say TB has a awful personality and has said some dumb shit, but he's not scamming people out of their money...
