People can repeatedly stick up for G2A all they like, their entire business model is based on crap like this happening so they can turn a big profit. I will never, ever endorse G2A or buy from them.

Quoting: CorbenWait a sec... imho it's okay to point this issue out, but putting customers on the same level as scammers goes to far.

What's the problem of blacklisting those illegally bought keys? If they show up in a keystore, they won't work and the keystore has to deal with it. Immediately their reputation goes down and automatically no one buys anything there anymore.

Of course it would be nice of G2A if they would help tinyBuild in this issue, but it's up to them. If they don't check those keys, and they are working... why should they bother? For them it seems to be a correct key. If the key doesn't work, they have to deal with it and refund the customer.

Is it a problem to blacklist those keys? I have no idea, so I'm asking.

As far as I am concerned, I've never heard before, that G2A is selling illegal keys intentionally. And I know this store for a while now. There was a similar issue with Ubisoft's Far Cry 3, but this didn't affect only G2A as keystore. So the article should be rewritten, with a warning that this issue exists with this particular game/developer/publisher, but not accusing customers of G2A being no better than scammers in general! Let the readers judge for themselves, just from the facts.

edit: after having read tinyBuilds article, they do the same: "Make your own conclusions"

I've adjusted that one bit, the rest of the editorial stands. G2A built a business around key reselling, they know fully well this is a big repeating issue.

Key reselling would not be a big earner if it was just legit sales. I will never buy from G2A and I stand by my thoughts on them.

Quoting: liamdaweI am also still deciding on the best place to link to the stats page.

Maybe with the GOL Footer ? (This one is just a random suggestion). Also in the "view PC info" section, computer info section on users profile, and their user CP (Would be great to have a link to the CP on one's profile page, too).

I have added it into the view pc info box, good idea. I've also added a link to edit your profile at the top of your profile too, another good idea.

Quoting: operaSteamOS is missing in the Linux Distributions graph.

No, graphs are limited to 10. All others simply don't have enough users to register on it.

I will look into a "view all" link so people can get a full list if they desire.

How about a single, eleventh "others" entry instead with everything under the threshold added up? You could list the individual distros in this entry's tooltip (using the <title> SVG element) if the graphs allow it.

Yes, I like this idea. I will experiment and see how easy it will be for me to implement an "Other" bar.

Quoting: winateNice work so far. I like the changes. If I had one gripe though, it'd be with the RAM. Is having all 64 choices really necessary? I think the current selection in the graph is good: 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 64. Maybe put 1GB and "Other" in there as well. I mean really, who's going to have 37GB of RAM? :P

Also, I don't see any way to get to the user stats page outside of this article and the current stickied notification on the main page. Maybe put it in the sidebar? I don't know.

Heh yeah I will think on how to better populate the dropdown for the RAM picker.

I am also still deciding on the best place to link to the stats page.

Quoting: CronckSo im still new to some things Linux- got BroForce on GOG, install SH file making it run in term. Says its installed plays a lil intro but then screen goes black... any ideas?

Their Linux version is a bit flaky at the best of times, run it in terminal if you can. Sometimes Broforce does just crap out though.

Was hoping GOG would have picked up on it, sad to hear it still happens.

I have also added all these extra bits into the pc info overlay now too so it's up to date (I really need to make that share code with the profiles).
