The GAME chain in the UK does not take advantage of collectors. They want to create more second-hand catalog and warehouse space at the cost of destroying art books and music records.
Video game chains are trying to boost the market for second-hand games. They don't have to give royalties and they keep the entire profit. This is why in a GAME you can find more space dedicated to these games than to the new ones.
Destruction of material by UK GAME
The collector's editions that broke through especially in the last generation made it possible for companies to charge more for the copies sold in the face of the second-hand boom and constant sales. Some fans are interested in having medium-quality figures, art books, records with the music and other paraphernalia. But to stores not because of the high space they occupy in the warehouse, which reminds them of the times of guitars and plastic instruments of Guitar Hero and Rock Band.
GAME stores in the UK accept that customers sell their collector's editions if they bring all the content. But as we discussed above, they are not very funny as they take up space and the lower price does not interest second-hand game buyers who just want the game.
Liam Robertson has revealed that several employees of the GAME chain in the United Kingdom are getting rid of all the material that makes up a collector's edition except for the game disc. and an employee has corroborated it. That means tens or hundreds of art books, records, and more merchandising cheap that could interest fans has been sent to the trash or trashed by a decision of the stores to sell those games as soon as possible and to make room in warehouses. It is not at all good news that this happens, since they could have given that material to interested people, such as in a special sale or giveaways on social networks instead of destroying it.
