I somewhat agree with this.
Gamestop was put in a very awkward place because they weren't warned about this. Selling the game with the codes means supporting a competitor and doing what they did earns a lot of bad will with the public.
Of course I don't know the full facts but I would have just let it be and blow over. onLive is pretty small at the moment and I'm sure the PC version of this game wasn't a bad seller. True, people are going to completely forget this by next month, but that's still a month's worth of bad attitude aimed directly at them.
Who knows, they probably could have left it in and earned some good will with onLive and started selling onLive gift certificates. Now, over something pretty small, they have probably burned some serious bridges with them.
