Razer Cuts Game Store

Razer announces they are closing their online game store as of the end of this month, which is less than a year after this first openend (thanks PC Gamer via Neutronbeam). A FAQ on the topic informs us that Games purchased through the store were fulfilled through either Steam or Uplay, so they will remain in the libraries of their customers. They also promise to complete any outstanding preorders, and offer details on how elements of their customer loyalty program will live on after the closure. Here's the news:
We regret to announce that Razer Game Store (gamestore.razer.com) will cease operations on February 28, 2019 at 0100hrs Pacific Time as part of the company’s realignment plans.

It has been a privilege for us to recommend and deliver great digital game deals to you. We have been extremely fortunate to have you as part of our awesome community. Thank you for the support and making all this possible.

We will be investing in other ways to deliver great content and introduce game promotions through Razer Gold, our virtual credits system (https://gold.razer.com/). Do visit us there and stay tuned for more news.

I've never had a Razer mouse completely fail, and I've owned quite a few.

1999 - Boomslang 2000
2010 - Mamba
2012 - DeathAdder 3500
2012 - BlackWidow Ultimate Stealth Edition (Keyboard)
2014 - DeathAdder Chroma
2018 - DeathAdder Elite
2019 - Mamba Elite
2019 - Huntsman (Keyboard)

Most are still in use actually by someone if not me. I still use a 2010 Mamba wireless at work. I did have to order replacement batteries for that one. The DeathAdder 3500 had an issue with the left button after awhile. Single-clicks were actually outputting double-clicks which was really annoying, but a firmware upgrade fixed that.

Now the BlackWidow keyboard I owned was terrible. It wouldn't work without drivers period under Windows 7, and function keys would get 'hung' and not work until it was power cycled, and other issues.

I finally got brave enough to try another Razer keyboard after the BlackWidow. I picked up the Huntsman, and it's been problem free so far. I found the "opto-mechnical" keys to actually be a nice upgrade from my HyperX FPS with Cherry MX Blues rather than just marketing hype.
