I lost all respect for Psyonix

[I Taste Colors]

I have been watching PickaPixel for a long time. He advertises Lolga and got permabanned for it. Understand lolga, aoeah and 99% of rocket league item resellers are owned by the same company similar to how ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥,♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥and ♥♥♥♥♥♥(those are key reseller sites if you have been pc gaming for long I am sure you know what three I listed are) are owned by the same company and are just sister sites.

What irks my nerves is how most pro rocket league players and bigger youtubers for rocket league all have sponsorships for either aoeah or lolga and nothing is being done against them. I know these sites are not hurting their bottom line because no one will buy keys from them at $1.21 per key when you get get them $1/e if you buy them 5/10/20 at a time through steam/ps store/microsoft store or 0.82/e off of reddit. They do not make money off of crates anyways and most people will open crates before they straight up buy items so in the end these sites are helping them. Like I used to open crates 50-100 at a time. I would buy the crates off of aoeah and buy the keys directly through psyonix. Banning people's accounts that have thousands of items on them for advertising a site when you are not punishing everyone who advertises it is complete bs. This is twitch.tv levles of punishment bias.

Pixel actually used items bought directly from those sites tho. If im not mistaken no other unboxing/trade up youtuber does this. Pixel always said how all items were from that site. Plus he made an unboxing video directly form a site and not ingame exaclty the same like csgo gambling sites. Pixel was the biggest promoter of these sites and they did good to ban just him as an example. Stop fanboying and admit that he had it coming.

How else do you think these sites can sell keys cheaper than Psyonix?

A. If you read the post you would know I dgaf about him getting banned nor am I defending him I just dont like the fact that other youtubers were still sponsored and no action has been taken against them. It just seems like they cherry picked the rocket league youtuber with the most subs.

B. Show me a site that sells keys cheaper than psyonix. Lolga, aoeah etc sell their keys for like $1.09/e which is cheaper than individual keys from psyonix but still more expensive than $0.99/e if you buy the bundles.

C. If you think these sites getting shut down will stop scamming you are naive af. Scamming will never stop while there are people with questionable enough morality to do it and people dumb enough to fall for it.

D. If you think scammers are selling their items to these sites you are an idiot. Scammers sell their items on reddit where they actually make money. When TW zombas were worth 180 keys aoeah was buying them for like $55. You think a scammer will take $55 when they could sell them theirselves for $120 easily and $140+ if they didnt mind waiting a bit for a buyer?

God you are dense af. Please quote anything I said that implied he didn't deserve the ban. I bet in the time it takes you to look I can quote myself saying he deserved it like 4 times. My gripe was their misuse of trademark strikes to put his youtube channel at risk and cherry picking who they punish. Never once did I even come close to fan boying so what you can do is go to your local pharmacy and ask for some via gra to help you go f u ck yourself.
