Literally a used Switch game in a big, ridiculous bag with a “New” sticker on it. Imagine going into a GameStop with a game in a bag like this and convincing them to give you credit for it as “New”.

Don’t buy online from GameStop. Actually, just don’t buy from GameStop.

"Why are these box stores failing?"
Stop fucking punishing me for what the thieves do. An opened box is not new.

Ok. They can just put the games out in the actual boxes again and then increase prices to account for people stealing games. But then you'll probably bitch about higher prices.

Or have a display case but keep the new, unopened copies behind the counter or in the back?

Haha. Their prices are somehow ALSO HIGHER.
