Bullshitstorm (The Jimquisition)




Oh Gearbox, will you ever learn?

So the great minds running the Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition scene decided to compound its ludicrous MSRP by partnering with G2A. Yes that G2A, the notoriously scummy one that profits from fraud.

How did that turn out, and what does it say of this industry that it happened in the first place?

Let’s find out together, you POG freaks!

  1. why is Nigel Farage on the thumbnail? ?

  2. Isaiah Skullcrusher

    Why is there a piece of shit in the thumbnail?

  3. But then again, Kotaku calling anything ‘shady’ has near-fatal levels of irony.

  4. Pretty rich, Kotaku calling someone else “shady”

  5. As someone from Scotland everyone in British politics is fucked

  6. Hey Jim, do you plan on doing an emergency jimqusition on Sid Alpha’s discovery of an asset flip black market?

  7. I thought of you when Morty said that. Pogs.

  8. I apologize for bringing up politics in my show. The POG sequence pushes some buttons, yes, and I should keep my personal views out of these videogame discussions. POG Fucker won’t happen again.

    (He will)

  9. Oh hey, that call about the Pog collection at the end was a reference to Rick And Morty’s episode 1, season 3 episode. ^^ Niiiice.

  10. Generic Knight The Generic

    Kinda sad a number of comments do not care how people acquire their game keys, as long as they’re dirt cheap.

    Keep this in mind: Supporting this company means you’re supporting their extremely shady business practices, and potentially screwing over developers (especially indie devs who get ravaged by credit card fraud costs and having keys stolen) who won’t get the money they need to continue making games.

    I doubt much, if any, of the money you spend at G2A goes to developers. More often than not, you’re merely supporting criminals.

  11. Honestly? Fuck Gearbox. I wrote them off completely after the Aliens: Colonial Marines debacle (particularly Randy “douchebag” Pitchford’s insistence that they’d done absolutely nothing wrong and his gleeful gloating after they won the class action lawsuit brought against them like he had some kind of righteous high ground) and I’m not changing my mind any time soon. So they made Borderlands. Big fucking deal. I didn’t give a fuck about Battleborn, I don’t give a fuck about anything they make, because they’re just another scummy AAA game developer and I don’t need their shit. I’m surprised Jim was even forgiving enough to give them another chance, but I guess as an industry professional if he boycotted _every_ scummy developer out there he’d just be out of a job.

  12. Intellektual BlackMan

    Bunch of brodudes in the comment section trying hard to convince other brodudes that they’re not starving for some dick.

  13. Are any sites like G2A that aren’t terribly scummy and shady as shit? I’d like cheaper games, but I’d also like to not support theft.

  14. Oh my God I am so sorry I tried to pin a comment asking that masturbation addicts have wank breaks at work but I accidentally removed it. I cannot apologize enough.

    Please everyone flood my comment section with demands for wank breaks. The comment was right – if smokers get breaks, so should habitual onanists.

  15. Farrage is a literal piece of shite and anyone who supports him is subhuman scum.

  16. Love how people still think that Gearbox is a good company, just because they’ve done ONE half decent game (borderland, and I’ll argue that Borderland is highly overrated and a rather bad FPS/RPG).

    Just to remind you, Gearbox is responsible of Duck Nukem Forever, Alien colonial marines and are trying to reselling Bulletstorm full price today, without NOTHING new expect a fucking DRM.

    So yeah, stop pretending that company is a good and respectable one.

  17. How stupid is GearBox? What kind of company doesn’t investigate their potential partners?

  18. why do you own so many dildos?
