Just this month, another class action lawsuit has been filed, naming GameStop as the defendant. The store supposedly sells used games under the brand new section, thereby fooling buyers into thinking they're making a first-purchase.
The problem is that some games being sold as brand new actually have the one-time code system, granting users perks and unlockable content. If this one-time code has already been used, then who ever gets the game again will have to pay additional fee just to be able to access the content that's intrinsically available with the code.
Said the lawsuit filed, the store leads cusotmers "to believe that the games which are originally sold with free downloadable content are also included when consumers purchase the same games used, when in fact the free downloadable content is no longer available."
