Did you read why I don't really care why they do it? Seriously, other stores don't have this problem. Some put them in plastic cases but really they take it out of those when they hand it to you. I don't see why that bothers you. Some have those glass cases, but you just ask for the game, which I do anyway at Gamestop because it's the only way to get an actually unopened game.
I am not alone in this you know. I will not sacrifice the shrink wrap. We've made too many compromises already, too many retreats. I mean they push their preorders, and we fall back. They sneak in "free" subscriptions, and we fall back. Not again! The line must be drawn HERE! This far, and no further! I will make them pay, for what they have done!
And by the way, I did. They lost a sale because of this. I picked up a copy somewhere else, undefiled by their pig-smelly hands. At the rate in which people are boycotting that store, they will soon see that only caring about the bottom line HURTS the bottom line.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
