More like bad timing and a system that wasn't secure enough to prevent casual pirating.

Did you hear a whooshing sound?

I didnt say I dont buy pre-owned games, I buy them all the time. Sometimes I just wanna buy it new, support the developers and what not. The thing about 2 of my 3 (or 4?) local gamestops is they dont just politely offer, they try to talk you into it like a used car salesman. The one store I dont go to anymore pushed so hard and was such an assclown about it I told him I didnt want it new anymore and left.
I have a gamestop card, at least the magazine doesnt suck like it did when I worked at FunCoLand and had to push cleaning kits.

We were told not to clean them, that way when a customer came back with "a game that didnt work", we could tell them their system was dirty, clean the cart in front of them and make it work. Usually they'd buy a cleaning kit, so I cant say it wasnt effective "marketing" Needless to say, I didnt work there long.

I took a chance. Someone probably took you seriously.
BTW, emoticons are your friend.
