/vr/ - Retro Games

I don't see a thread, so let's talk about this.

Since they have recently gotten into the retro market, Gamestop had apparently made claims that their employees were being trained to properly detect reproduction and bootleg carts, and that there was a special facility where the games were taken to, where they were cleaned and tested before putting up for sale.

But recent findings apparently show this to be bullshit.

One customer had supposedly bought a copy of Conker's Bad Fur Day, only for it to be a clear as day bootleg, and others are buying rare and expensive games from them, only for the label to have a very clear "reproduction" on them.

I knew this would happen from day one. A massive chain store with shitty eployees who don't give a fuck, accepting retro video games, is a complicated and horrible thing, and Gamestop lying about issues relating to the matter is only icing on the cake.
