Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition - a Tale of Incompetence

  • 329

Gearbox the company known for their Halflife expansions and the Borderlands franchise thought it would be a good idea to partner with G2A for the re-release.
Popular Youtuber TotalBiscuit announced he would never cover any game from Gearbox again if they maintain their partnership with shady G2A.

TB had to spell out all the controversy around G2A for Gearbox as the company acted as if they heard about G2A's bad reputation for the first time. It ended with Gearbox posing an ultimatum to G2A which wasn't answered to this date. 

For paying only €46 to Gearbox you can enjoy Denuvo DRM on top of a remaster that doesn't look different than the original in any significant way and if you cough up another €5 you get the Duke Nukem day one DLC. 

Surprisingly there are some brave souls who actually buy this steaming pile as Steam Spy estimates between 6,000 and 12,000 owners on Steam atm.

It would be probably more accurate to replace the Bulletstorm in the title with Gearbox considering the subject.

Because gearbox are either complete bullshitters, or they must be completely incompetent to partner with a shady marketplace like G2A, showing that they did absolutely no investigation at all when they partnered with them if they needed proof.

Although i like the offer they made with the free G2A shield, it will basically place G2A on 2 stances. They are either the shady marketplace that they are, and they completely know that and they are profiting from fraudulent keys, or they want to do better if they want to stay partnered and provide a better service to counter fraudulent activities.

This was apparently their response https://waypoint.vice.com/en_us/article/controversial-key-seller-g2a-hits-back-at-gearbox-totalbiscuit-claims and i'm not surprised in the least. They banned users on their reddit AMA that proved you can sell fake keys on their site, i was fully expecting them to refuse.

So in conclusion:

Gearbox are either shady themselves for thinking no one would make a big deal of their partnership with G2A, or they are incompetent for not doing their research on one of the most well known shady digital marketplace.

G2A shows us again that they are slimy assholes for not only silencing anyone who can prove their shady business, but also responding to their accusations either for having "lack of research" or "an agenda to intentionally paint us as bad guys".

Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition is one of the shittiest attempt to remaster a game. There's absolutely no difference whatsoever from this and the original besides having the gamma higher. And they charge €45,99 for it. Absolute fucking rip-off.

 

Actually come to think of it, the title would be more accurate to call it a tale of a completely shady clusterfuck of large proportions.

I agree but actually I wanted to keep the title as civil as possible :D 


The cake is a lie

"For paying only €46 to Gearbox you can enjoy Denuvo DRM on top of a remaster that doesn't look different than the original in any significant way"

You are kidding, right? If it's true, then we have some nice rip-off from Gearbox. I will never pay 45,99€ for remake/remaster.

It's a thing called irony.


All your base are belong to us.

Even with new content, the price (45,99€) is still too high. Don't be too suprised if you get poor sales.
