    Gearbox Partners with G2A One Day, Threatens to Kill Partnership the Next

G2A is notorious for their shady business practices so to see a fairly large studio like Gearbox actually partner with them was kind of beyond the pale. Cut to today where Gearbox is now threatening to kill the partnership with G2A un...

    No man's Mass Effect.
    For the sake of this review, let me just state that as of this writing I have not yet finished playing through Mass Effect: Andromeda.
