Gearbox Backs Out of 'Bulletstorm' Deal With Shady Key Reseller G2A The key reseller had 24 hours to publicly commit to certain changes to its service, but it didn't happen
Though both now have a lot of free publicity and Gearbox comes out of it looking like they care, they probably hadn't expected quite this level of backlash from the initial deal but I doubt either G2A or Gearbox have been affected by it that much.
(G2A might get some flack but people finding out about them might still decide to risk it due to cheap keys so they might gain a bit from this too.)

"G2A pointed to its "13 million clients" as evidence it runs a transparent business, and "all fees and rates are clearly" labeled."
How about NO. I was selling some bundle spare keys back in 2015 and sold them for more than 21€ in total. Amount of money I've got in return to my paypal account? Less than 8€
Keep into account that I did read their TOS lightly, that's probably my fault, but I felt like someone openly stolen from me because,
1.- All keys were placed in their market (as in, their digital store) with a "placement tax". My price minus about 10% to discount whenever a key was sold.
2.- All keys that were sold to an end user had an extra tax for THEIR paying method. Paypal? From 0.20 to 1.00€. Credit Card? Less, but equally so. G2A currency? Around 0.05 to 0.40€.
3.- Post-selling had a "Handling Tax" of my numbers, around the same quantity as point 1.
4.- Asking to fund the market money (all my sellings) into my Paypal account: AROUND 3€ They even asked me to keep it in G2A currency so I would not lose the Paypal fee amount and it was delayed for 15 days because "administration process" until I got it.
5.- Each and every one of these were NOT, and I repeat, NOT showed clearly anywhere. Unless they were digged really deep into their TOS. FAQ didn't help either.
All in all, a total loss of money, time and trust. Yep, I've learnt the hard way
I stopped using G2A after they tried to scam me on 3 occasions.
They turned that scam shield 3 times without my approval. First time was like "ok, maybe i've pressed something somewhere". But then when second time happened.... fuck that. But i still decided to buy one more time from them since they had some game which i couldn't find on any other site i usually buy. And that last time they saved my credit card details and sometime later turned that shield back on. After that, i'm never ever buying anything from them.
And don't even get me started on process of turning the shield down.

Lol G2A, still scumbags. I did bought two games or so a long time ago. Last game was somewhere between 2010-2011. Key was revoked by EA due that the key was bought with a fraudulent visacard and should contact the company where I bought the game. I then asked G2A for another key or that they give my money back, I got nothing.. Game worked for 3 months or so. Bought retail version, still working as of today. Lesson learned to never to buy from shady keysites like them, no matter how cheap it is.
I tried the old FLT release, it still works as a charm on W10 CU. I got a warning related to Games for Windows - but overall it does not prevent the game from launching and the solo campaign works fine - 1440p resolution is supported.
Anyway, I never took the time to play the game when it was released, but I will give it a shot. No need for an overpriced remaster. This will be the first game I "pirate" for a very long time.
