Fredfuchs285 Posted May 19, 2017 Posted May 19, 2017 (edited) I'm talking about the link to buy RCT2 from G2A at the home page. As many already know G2A is a gray marked key reseller. However, Many keys are obtained from stolen creditcards with G2A doing nothing to prevent this. In fact, they are profiting from this.

Can we please not get this project associated with G2A in any way? Edited May 19, 2017 by Fredfuchs285 3
YoloSweggLord Posted May 20, 2017 Posted May 20, 2017 I believe this has been brought up before. I'm not 100% sure but I believe that the website is owned by JarnoVgr, so try asking him about it. I do agree with you though that it should be changed due to G2A's shady reputation. Ping @JarnoVgr 1

When you buy from G2A you support a company encouraging and profiting from theft. A fact that has been proven over and over again with them having no intentions to do anything about it.

According to what you said in the request were you aware of G2A's shady reputation yet there was still agreed to keep using it. Which is something I definitely don't agree with. no matter how much it pays. But atleast the link is removed now. So thanks for doing the right thing.

The referral link came from the time when these forums weren't official, and I needed to pay for the Windows code signing certificate in order to sign the (unofficial) Windows builds. I never profited from it. However, I fully agree that it should've been removed earlier. 1
