Seems like GamersGate is advertising/spam and doesn't belong on GB. More are listed on Digital Distribution. The major console ones like Xbox Live, Playstation Network, and Wii Shop Channel (and maybe Steam since it's so popular) could probably get away with staying but the others just seem like spam to me...

Although an absolute pain to update and maintain, there's nothing inherently wrong with them. If properly maintained they can be a useful, albeit redundant, resource. The description for GamersGate looks clean with no spam or copyright violations, so I don't see a problem.

Er, the description reads like a biased advertisement...

Upon further inspection, the deck does appear to have come directly from GamersGate. I've replaced it with something more neutral.
