It seems that you have a capitalistic problem. So why not try a capitalistic solution? Do you think Home Depot goes around and tries to get its competitors suppliers banned? Or do they try "shaming" the customer? No, They put out a better product at a better price, with customer satisfaction in mind.
So why doesn't CKY or one of his helpers become the official retailer of gear? Then the buyer would know #1 that they are not going to get ripped off and #2 that they are not going to get corrupted equipment. That way all the profits can go back to the "project". If he's serious about it not being for the money then he could prove that by making the editor free again. Because even with it being free, the people on the next gen consoles are still going to pay for "DLC". Most people traded in their 360 to buy the 1 or the ps3 to get a ps4. To mod requires 2 machines, 2 copies of the game, flash drive, pc, and software. That's honestly too much work and hassle for some people. Because it looks like money is going to be made on this no matter what, so at least this way it can be minimalized.
Just my 2 cents, but I could care less either way.
