owsf2000While I'm on the Rant Train and being pissy about shitty company policy and decisions in the game industry, allow me to confirm that GameStop has again lost an extra 35 dollars in sales by gutting the only copy of Radiant Historia they had left in town. As you know, I only count the lost sales when it fits two main points:
1. I actually ask the clerk for a factory sealed copy and get told they don't have any - and I have evidence they had "new" copies in the store. (Holding the gutted copy in my hand while doing so for instance.)
and
2. If I fully intend to buy the game I'm referring to if they say "Yes, one moment I'll get it."
Meaning I can't just ask out of curiosity to pump up the "lost sales". So when I'm quoting 500-700 dollars in lost sales, it's LOST SALES.
So yes, this is indeed a lost sale like the many titles over the last year. (I didn't post about every single instance mind you. I just do it when I'm extra pissed about it because I was looking forward to the game in question.)
