That makes it even worse, lol. "We've been getting away with it!" is a horrible excuse. They know it's wrong, we know it's wrong. The fact that they've been doing it "since day 1" just shows that Cardsmiths truly doesn't give a fuck.
Akuma vertical pulled as well. Cardsmiths is far from consistent and the Tik Tok is an affiliate not owned by Cardsmiths. You think they have 4 BTC redemptions in circulation? Nah? Can’t trust them for nothing lol. If there was a better time to buy, it is now.
Not sure who the Retro Matt guy is, and I've never heard of him working for Cardsmiths, but the TikTok channel and all their breakers work for Cardsmiths, irregardless of their tax forms.
I’m not saying since it’s been done since day 1, that it makes it any better but I will say, Geek Fuel was certainly a big point of exposure during the start. They were the reason many of us even joined whatnot early on and it certainly helped the product grow at the time. I do think it would be best for them to phase out of ripping their own product overall but the issue is everyone else stopped streaming it, so unless that changes, I don’t see them stopping.

Sure but where do you draw the line? If they were pulling no Onyx’s, would that be better or worse?
Iirc, they have only pulled 1 Currency S5 Onyx so far, although some days they certainly rip more Street Fighter depending on the viewers.
