With my review unit of an Onlive Microconsole after E3, I was given a few free game codes and I have been saving one for Deus Ex: Human Revolution ever since. This story is especially interesting to me since I have been planning on using OnLive as my platform of choice for this game. Most of the outrage is coming from the gamers - appalled that GameStop is (or more accurately was) opening game boxes and then still selling them as 'new.' In reality, though, the boxes apparently do not reference the OnLive codes on the outside, so claims of deceptive trade practices are likely baseless. As a lawyer myself, I'd really like to know more details before speculating - as it will really come down to whatever GameStop's agreement with the publisher (Square Enix) says. Please honor any returns with a receipt.Lots of people are debating the legality of GameStop's actions.

We are returning all copies of the PC regular edition to the vendor in agreement with Square Enix.Īny unfilled reserves of the Regular PC Edition should be taken care of with the inventory set aside in your backroom. These will be recalled at a later date.Īs GameStop is developing a streaming service in our Spawn Labs Cloud Gaming Division, the coupon that was included is for a competitive service. It’s a good thing there’s more than just GameStop as an option, because it looks like the company is trying to kill itself off.At this time please pull all Regular PC Editions of Deus Ex: Human Revolution (640171) and place them in your backroom. I had plans to pick up both Madden 2012 and FIFA 2012 there, but no longer. I’m not sure if this is something that raises a legal issue, but I do know that I will not be purchasing another product from GameStop again. On the company’s official Facebook page, a post reads: “ Square Enix packed a competitor’s coupon within the PC version of Deus Ex: Human Revolution without our prior knowledge and we did pull these coupons.“ This isn’t a case of someone higher up enforcing a brilliant idea that the company as a whole disagrees with either. But does that give it the right to open up the games destined for gamer hands and take the coupon out? Since that’s just what happened, it seems so.

It’s understandable, given that OnLive is somewhat of a competitor. After all, being able to game it up on the go, from any PC? Sounds good.Įxcept for the fact that GameStop doesn’t like the idea. By itself, that privilege would normally cost gamers another $50, so you can understand the reason gamers might want it. OnLive, the online game streaming service, partnered up with Square Enix for the launch of the game, and as a result included a voucher in each copy of the PC version box that would allow gamers to sign up for an OnLive account and use the game there. But with the PC version of Deus Ex: Human Revolution, employees have been instructed to take out a little more than that. It’s been known for some time that the company will open most games that are sold in order to keep the disc behind the counter, secured. GameStop has come under fire for many things over the years, but the latest incident takes the cake.
