I have to write a business letter to Gamestop/EB games

Post by DNT 2.5 »

What should I complain about? Or should I kiss ass so I get a gift certificate? Either way, I am telling them to stop putting stickers on the cover art, regardless of if they listen or not, I don't care, I gave them my word.
School project, in case you were wondering.

Let them know that if a game is opened it is not new and should not be sold a "new" price.

You should tell them that you're waging a proxy battle to oust current management and increase shareholder value. Your plan to increase shareholder value is to foster better company-customer relations, viz, by not putting stickers on all the goddamn cases and not having everyone there act like unhelpful pricks.

You could begin by using the correct "write", not "right". Sorry, I'm a ball buster for grammar. Good topic though. I worked for EB games/gamestop for 3 years. I never put stickers directly on artwork if I could help it. It pained me to put them on gameboy cartridges. Good luck with the report and let us know how it progresses.

Stop charging rare games even though they are years old. Tell them they should put brand new games unopened under the register lockup and put most of them in back. Tell them not to smudge their god dam fingers onto the disc, one idiot did it on purpose.

Agree, opened games should be not sold as new. Put those shrink wrap ones behind the counter.

However, slick finding rare games cheap once in a while.

Explain to them the advantages in catering to retrophiles. I know that they eschew stocking older product because it defeats their inventory system (it's a lot of work to catalog product that won't be distributed equally to all the stores and might not be in their database) but people like myself would spend a lot of money if they carried older games.

As it is, I gladly drive 35 miles out of town to the vintage game store just to browse. Imagine the money they'd get if it wasn't such an out of the way thing for me?

Agreed. It's not exactly rare but today I got a brand new, shrink wrapped copy of Xenosaga 2 for $4.99. They even left the $49.99 sticker on just to make me feel good.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

Tell them to switch from GameInformer to something less putrid, like GamePro, or, if you're feeling brave, Play.

This. I hate going there for something new only to find out it's the "last copy" but they consider it "new" after it's already been opened.
