Is This Stealing or Just A Lucky Find?

Post by Weekend_Warrior »

I have a bit of a moral question for you guys.

Earlier tonight I went to a local game shop and was lucky to find a complete copy of Vectorman (Sega Genesis) for the price of $3.99.

Now.. before I purchased the game, I pulled out the cardboard sleeve to check that everything was there and I ended up finding not just the Vectorman cartridge with the game manual.. BUT ALSO A VECTORMAN 2 CARTRIDGE IN THERE WITH IT! :shock:

I then became a little hesitant as to what to do. My first instinct was to yell out to the store employee, "Hey, there's another game in here!" But because both games are on my want list and I figured that this was their mistake for missing it, I decided not to say anything and just went to pay for it.

To be honest, I do feel a little guilty about it now. But there's also still that "it was their mistake" idea swimming around in my head.

What do you all think? If this happened to you, what would you do? Would you feel bad?

I think you will probably burn in hell for this.

This would be OK if you were to buy it from a GoodWill or something, since half the time the wrong game is in the case anyway, but this is a dedicated game store!

You broke one of the ten commandments, you will burn in hell for all eternity!!!

How the hell do you guys know that a kid in the store before you didn't put that game in there or something. It might not even been the stores fault.

It's people like you that are ruining our world and our forums. GTFO!!!!

Bah. Morality is what you make of it.

You've got nothing on those people who pick up complete copies of Lunar and Suikoden II at pawn shops for $5.

To ease your mind, just bring them back the entire box and explain what happened. They will most likely let you keep both of them...

Possible but highly unlikely. They keep all their games behind glass
