They can shrink wrap a game that's already been happened. A few years ago, I saw one of them take an opened copy into the back and shrinkwrap it for a customer.

but but but Gamestop is the villain! Obviously they were the ones in the wrong here!

I find it funny how Giant Bomb isn't reporting this fact, since it won't make Gamestop look evil. And people act like Giant Bomb is a legit site

From: PartOfYourWorld | #118
If publishers do adopt a more digital-friendly format where every game is offered for download, I'd be cool with that so long as they offer price reductions for those gamers who wait to purchase. As it stands right now, I can often get a $60 game for like $20 a year after release, and it's usually still in new condition on Amazon. If publishers can match that via digital distribution, I'd support it despite missing physical copies.


So you basically described Stea--

I remember when I used to buy used games. Now my soul belongs to steam. I can get cheaper games AND help save the industry <3

As part of Deus Ex: Human Revolution's boxed offering on PC, Square Enix included a third party coupon. GameStop was not made aware of this inclusion and Square Enix respects the right of GameStop to have final say over the contents of products it sells and to adjust them where they see fit in accordance with their policies.

Look at how screwed Gamestop is now! Screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewed!

You can still do that at many independent game stores!

Here's an (incomplete but still large) directory!

...holy crap.

The one in Hammond, LA, is apparently on the same main street my college is on. So checking it out tomorrow.

Man, this topic was a fun read. What I gathered:

-Gamestop continues not to care about the fans
-SE doesn't mind Gamestop's policies, even if they're somewhat anti-consumer
-Giant Bomb is a joke website

Uhhhhh, you do realize GB updated the article right after Squeenix's response, right?

Probably not, because it would go against your trolling.

There is one thing I do want to know, though.

Why do people get so angry about Gamestop opening up the cases for New games? Do people forget that the cases were also open before they were wrapped up in the factory? They aren't any less new just because Gamestop opened them up. A game doesn't become "used" until the actual disc is played.

You're definitely "short-sighted", just not for the reasons joyrock claims. It's actually a much more simple and obvious problem.


Joyrock's reasons are completely legit, even if there are other ones.

yeah, been following this since the news broke on CAG a day or two ago. messed up, and i utterly hate this practice of 'new' being not shrink wrapped. thankfully i don't buy much there anyway. amazon, newegg, and best buy get the bulk of my gaming money, not gamestop.
