Honestly this is scary but true. Postal Gamer is asking way to much of the publishers including that ad in every game case would be foolish. If publishers officially supported Postal Gamer they would see GameStop probably threaten to drop their product. GameStop can drop any product it want's off of its shelf.
Does everyone remember how damaging EA's pullout from DreamCast was? This would be a hundred times worse.Gamestop own's EBGames and probably the largest market share of game retailers in North America. Loosing their support on a product would have a huge influence on sales. I don't think any of the major publishers could risk loosing the shelf space at GameStop all so that they can make a little chunk of change in used sales.
Postal Gamer is not going to get support from major publishers as long as GameStop threatens to pull products. Now of course if Activision , EA, UbiSoft all decided at once to support Postal Gamer then GameStop would be powerless they couldn't remove all their products from their shelves. But one big publisher alone if GameStop got mad and limited shelf space or cut it altogether the implications would be massive!
