1. Stop buying said product from said company in the future. If I had signed a contract with them saying they weren't allowed to have promotions supporting my competitors then I would take them to court for breech of contract. If I had not signed such a contract (ie the situation gamestop is in) then I would sell the product.

2. I would not pass the shitty situation onto the consumer (particularly considering how many customers would demand a refund when they find out I didn't actually give them the full product they paid for.)

Honestly, gamestop on't have a leg to stand on. They took a part of the product out of the box, and ocntinued to sell it as new and without telling the customers that they opened the box and removed part of the product.

1. Yes, because it would be so easy for Gamestop to just stop buying from one of the 3 largest publishers in the world. 

2. Did they not receive the game. I mean this wasn't even an advertised feature. It was mentioned once on Twitter a day before the game was released. Had I not seen this thread I would have never known

2.5. Should people be complaining to Steam? They didn't get an Onlive code from them either. 


1) Then they should be communicating their annoyance to S-E and mediating a solution, as opposed to taking their anger out on the consumer.

 

1.5)  Top 3? By income it is 14th  (late 2008 data http://www.next-gen.biz/features/edges-top-20-publishers-2008?page=8)

 

2) The bolded comment is contradicted by the italicised comment.

 

2.5) Did steam remove an advertised feature?
