GAME starts putting DLC warning stickers on used games
On April - 13 - 2010
Considering the recent legal issues between GameStop and customer James Collins, who is currently suing the retailer over supposedly deceptive DLC with second hand games, retailer GAME is apparently playing it safe and has started putting warning stickers on pre-owned games regarding the lack of free DLC with second hand titles.
“We have been developing a policy for notifying customers at the point of purchase which was implemented last week in-store,” a GAME spokesperson told MCV.
“Pre-owned copies of applicable titles have stickers on them saying ‘check with staff for availability of downloadable content’, giving staff the chance to explain clearly the difference so that our customers understand the benefits of buying both pre-owned and mint.”
The observant gamer will note that most games that fall under this category already have adequate warnings on their boxes regarding DLC codes that come with the game. Apparently, this is not enough.
