Quoting: KimyrielleNubia, eh?

I wonder when they are going to include Canada for the first time ever in a Civ game, and what it would take for them to consider having the second largest country on Earth in there. I know, I know...we're America's hat and the unofficial 51st state. But still!

Maybe after the "Jamaica and Easter Island" DLC?

No offence but Canada is 150 years old and the game might just as well end at the year which Canada was founded. It's just a country made of people from around the world, just like the USA but at least they are the world's superpower. There are plenty ancient or old civilizations that are not included in the game and probably never will be so I wouldn't hold my breath for Canada.

I think Russians like post-apocalyptic scenery because it resembles many places in their country today :P The game looks promising but that 3d gfx is dated. At least they should work on lighting and shadows or just make it in 2/2.5d with hand drawn backgrounds. Another thing is fighting mutated flies with fists, knife or a gun. Is that a realistic scenario? You probably would use a can of spray of some sort and a lighter or an insect poisoner.

I'll pick it up once it's a bit cheaper. I enjoyed Planescape Torment so much that I have to buy this one.

LOL this is not inspired by Quake, this is a re-implementation of Q2. All the same maps, same weapons, it's like a texture pack really. Aren't they going to get in trouble for that? I'd play it though.

Quoting: killyouOK I see how conveniently you didn't mention eBay.

I'm not making excuses for anyone unlike you. I've never bought or sold anything on eBay so I wouldn't know about their policies.

Long story short it's no more secure than G2A.

Quoting: tuubiDon't you wonder why only specialized sites like G2A seem to generate significant amounts of charge backs for game devs though? Maybe because they make things especially easy for criminals, by allowing buying and selling in bulk for individual, non-verified users? Also being based in Hong Kong they're not likely to share account details with "foreign" authorities even when the account owner is caught selling stolen keys. Bottom line, buy and sell your keys elsewhere. G2A still doesn't deserve your sympathy.

If there would be no cheap keys around from bundles or bought with stolen credit cards from developers there would be no problem as there would be no cheap/stolen keys on G2A and other sites.

Quoting: killyouI'm not using G2A anyway but to me they are getting the backlash they don't deserve.

In this case they are getting backlash for not implementing proper screening and then lying about it. The clerk is a straw man. G2A is not an innocent bystander or anything like a volunteer providing a public service. They're a big business with hundreds of employees globally and a budget of millions.

OK I see how conveniently you didn't mention eBay. Please explain it to me how G2A should work taking eBay as an example. I assume eBay is the good guy here since there are no complaints. Tell me what kind of protection does eBay have to protect goods manufacturers being sold there. Let's say I'm selling an Intel CPU. How does eBay verify I acquired it in a legal way? Do they ask for receipt when I make an auction, do they ask for credit card statement? If you can't explain it then G2A is being harassed for nothing. You don't see Intel or any other manufacturer suing eBay for selling stolen shit. I know G2A are trying to explain themselves and it's only embarrassing them but they shouldn't be challenged in the first place. Let's be honest, the source of the problem is between the developers and key thieves and those thieves could sell the keys everywhere but since G2A is specialized in reselling keys it's just an easy target for the devs. And they wouldn't dare to go after eBay. They are trying to ruin a perfectly legitimate business because they let others rip them off because they are not able to secure the transaction properly. Here's an advice to all those whining devs, sell your stuff only through Steam/put_any_other_large_store_here, don't do direct sales off your website and don't include your games in bundles. Here, problem solved and do not try to bring others down with you.

Quoting: killyouIf they sell someone keys with a stolen credit card it's not G2A fault.

Is it not the bar owner's fault if they turn a blind eye to drug dealers on their premises as long as they get a cut? This isn't software piracy. Credit card theft is unarguably a crime, and the reason G2A won't implement effective screening is the fact that they would lose whatever profit they make on these illegal sales. They're not the heroes you're looking for.

Please do boycott G2A. They're not worth your support. If you feel an irrational need to punish game developers, please find a way that doesn't reward criminals.

I'm not using G2A anyway but to me they are getting the backlash they don't deserve. How on earth would they be able to tell if the keys have been acquired by the seller legally? If someone would want to sell FCKGQ Windows XP it's obvious that's a scam, but if all the keys are valid and generated by developers then they cannot really tell whether the payment for the keys was legal or not. Let's say I'm selling an item on eBay. How would they be able to verify that it wasn't stolen or paid with a stolen credit card? They can't. It's like unleashing your anger on a stationary store clerk because they sold you a crappy product where in fact they are only the middle man and not involved in production process. The whole thing is just stupid. Developers can't just deal with the problem themselves so they are trying to pass the blame. They want to be smart and sell some of the keys directly without giving Steam their share so they have to be able to protect themselves. If they can't do that then they should rely entirely on big stores to do this for them to minimize the risk giving the store it's well deserved cut.

OMG stop this G2A nonsense. This is a public marketplace for keys, it's not their fault some of keys might be acquired illegally. And no, they shouldn't protect moron developers, they should protect themselves. If they sell someone keys with a stolen credit card it's not G2A fault. Software industry is locked in as it is. All the games are rentals really instead of a product that you own, you can't rent them, you can't sell them, you can't do shit and yet you want to get rid of the last bastion of freedom, being able to trade the keys outside of the official store, man to man. Soon everything will be streamed on demand so I guess all of the people whining about G2A will be happy as everything will be "legal" and you will not own anything except the right to pay a monthly bill. Block the ebay too and all classifieds as they might offer stolen items as well.

Liam

Have you ever thought of opening a key store? People here are complaining the most about getting Linux keys, how to buy it (and when) to make it count as Linux and stuff. It's confusing for a lot of people so why wouldn't you open a store where every sale would count as Linux. So when there is a key in Liam's store it's surely working on Linux and supporting Linux porters/developers. I sure would buy games here with confidence instead of taking the business elsewhere and it would give you some revenue, maybe a lot at some point. I also wouldn't mind game related ads.
