July 16, (THAINDIAN NEWS) GameStop is liked by those people who want to buy used games at cheap rates and that is how the company has made a name for itself. However, a controversy erupted recently when a worker of the company said that he does not like the concept of selling used games. However, it is a compulsion for the company and it would not exist in the market otherwise. It came during a Brighton business conference. However, the company headquarters later tried to distance itself from the statement and said that person was not a staff of the company.
However, it would be wrong to assume that GameStop is making money only from selling used games. Occasionally, it deals with selling selected PC and console games. The segment is of course dominated by several streaming service providers. Yesterday, it offered an appealing deal on used console games. This was grabbed by many gamers. The company also provided free shipping. This offer was only valid for one day and the site of the company was hit by massive traffic.
The GameStop offer was lapped up by all because of its flexibility. One could select one game for Wii and the other for Xbox 360. This made the offer even more lucrative for the buyers. The offer was made available at the stores of the company and online. The used games sold by the company work as well as new games but they are not sold with manuals. The deal also came with another offer. The buyers were given a great and useful software named Paragon Partition Manager 11SE.
