Gotta love 'murca, with people suing left and right for the most bullshit reasons. Anyone buying a used game should automatically assume that the previous owner exhausted whatever one time use codes came with it and should fully expect to pay for that content online anyway. If they have issue with this, they should've bought it new or scrounged up the codes off of eBay or something. Now, the only reason this lawsuit should go through would be if Gamestop's pricing of the used games was criminally high and they needed to be taken down a peg.

Oh and GS would be surprisingly quiet in mentioning the codes existed

In other "Gamestop is a rip" news... As suspicious as all that is (and it is, I'm pretty sure the guy who said they kept a fuckton of unsealed copies for this occasion was telling the truth), they kinda have every right to do so. NOA was not even willing to bring this game to North America and wouldn't have done so without Gamestop, which granted them partial exclusivity to sell the game. It's, technically, THEIR game, and they have every right to sell it at whatever price they want. At the end of the day, as expensive as it is, there are used copies going for $130 on the internet, so for people who didn't get the game, they'd essentially be getting an (allegedly) brand new copy of a limited title for $90, which is what they'd pay for any other limited edition title. I mean, fuck Gamestop for squandering a chance to be Good Guy Greg on this and win back the gaming crowd they've been effectively fucking over for like, half a decade, but hey, their loss.

I mean, stupider lawsuits have happened because people were airheads. Sad thing is, they win.

It's also pretty amusing that he pointed out Skyrim considering the fact that, y'know, it's set in the bloody medival era and doesn't even have muskets, let alone generic modern firearms.

Raining on your parade with a truckload of awkward awesomeness. Posts: 4,950 Group: Elite Member #70 Joined: November 11, 2009	So to continue my terrible luck when it comes to pre-ordering games, Activision decided to announce a "Dark Edition" for Skylanders SWAP Force (not even a full day after I pre-ordered it), which comes with 5 "Dark" Skylanders as opposed to just three normal ones. Went to EB Games today to switch my Wii U pre-order to said editon, only to discover that, in true AAA dev fashion, it's not coming to the Wii U or the 3DS. Only PS3, 360 and Wii. EDIT: Upon checking GameStop's US site, it turns out that the lack of a Wii U version here is just the latest in Activision's "NO WII U GAMES FOR AUSTRALIA" trend. Naturally, now I'm even more pissed off than I was earlier. Edited by Luffy Foxtrot, Aug 13 2013, 02:33 PM.
