GameStop sued for misleading used game offer

GameStop is currently facing a lawsuit for allegedly selling misleading used games. Complainant Collins is alleging that the store lures customers into buying a game with false information. And he’s not buying that stint.

GameStop is currently facing a lawsuit for allegedly selling misleading used games. The retailer has been in the practice of profitting from pre-owned game copies by re-selling them to consumers who don’t mind taking home pre-owned items with them for a cheaper price.

One such customer, however, is apparently not satisfied with GameStop’s service. According to plaintiff Collins, the game he bought had an advertisement on the cover that additional character and quest content could be downloaded for free upon purchase.

However, he later found out that this was not the case and the he in fact had to pay an additional US$ 15 for the DLC. Doing the math, this would have him paying US$ 10 more than the cost had he bought a brand new copy of the game.

He tried to take it back to GameStop, but he was denied a refund, saying that he was past the seven-day return window.

It was not stated which game was this.
