Would you steal 40 euros from Gamestop?

Don't those cards have to be activated by the clerk before they can be used anyway?

Quote from: "Augestein"No. Probably not. I don't see why I'd do such a thing. As a matter of fact, I would probably warn the person that other people might actually think of stealing the visible numbers. Then I would leave. After purchasing my games.

Plus, think about the poor soul that would purchase the card. He would use it and it would claim that it was already used... How sad.

well also think of the times when the same employees take codes for themselves and put them there i know happened to me several times and well gamestop here do really ripoff people example they give you $5 for a game and they sell it the same one for $20 on the case of me stealing i havent but a friend of mine has many times because they ripping off his money

I don't think that this can be considered a ripoff.  The $20 is fairly cheap for a game, nowadays.  Getting $5 per game is just bad salesmanship on your behalf.

Some of us would prefer immediacy over advertising something on eBay, then hoping someone wants the item, then hoping they pick you, then hoping that the item actually gets to them.

And Gamestop charges you for the convenience of not having to go through all that.

You don't steal the codes because if anyone bought those cards they would not function and they would be getting ripped off and it would be a pain in the ass for them to get a refund.

Yeah, if you're gonna steal 'em, just steal 'em. Taking the codes and leaving the cards would just make you an asshole.

In my opinion stealing in general makes you an asshole.
Just a collaborator plotting collaboration.
