Upon learning that PC copies of Deus Ex: Human Revolution include a code that can be redeemed for a free OnLive copy of the game, GameStop instructed employees to open and remove the code. Customers weren’t told this was happening and that they were buying a new, already opened game. Instead of continuing to do that, GameStop is instead pulling all regular edition PC copies from store shelves so they can be recalled.

This is according to a memo sent out to employees that was acquired by Giant Bomb. The reason for this is identified as the included OnLive codes, with the memo reading in part, “As GameStop is developing a streaming service in our Spawn Labs Cloud Gaming Division, the coupon that was included is for a competitive service. We are returning all copies of the PC regular edition to the vendor in agreement with Square Enix.”

Employees are directed to use these pulled copies to fill any pre-orders that might remain, but it looks like the remainder — with the OnLive codes presumably already removed — will be going back to publisher Square Enix.

I can't believe how misinformed people are. Angry gamers usually hear a rumor and just rant. The Voucher was for a second copy of Deus Ex on a service that is a gamestop competitor. As per agreement with Square they were not to put anything that advertises competitors. They did anyway without telling gamestop. Gamestop policy for opened games is covered too. If there is only 1 copy left the display is put out and the disc is kept safe behind the counter never played.

@striker12111 gamestop doesn't have a resealer, if your code wasn't in there it was probably a manufacture problem. This was a one time deal and it was because a breach of contract that Square did with gamestop.

lol! some gamestop's didnt even do it! they were liek fuck that!

grooveclubhouse says:

@striker12111 no there not. they dont even have a way to re seal a game. I think Nintendo didn't put it in there.

It was a business decision. I don't blame Gamestop. I blame all the hate though. At least all these companies involved are getting publicity.

They actually pulled the game from the shelves and put it away until a later date… Fck gamestop
