GameStop is no stranger to receiving the ire of the core gaming community, but now core consumers might be a bit leery on entering the gaming retail chain thanks to a new annual report. Consumer Reports now suggests staying away from GameStop as a place to purchase games thanks in part to what it considers to be sub-standard policies.
The report names the retailer as a place to avoid mainly due to the return policies enacted by the company. Analyst Tod Marks notes that “GameStop has a laundry list of conditions governing returns and exchanges.”
“In the End, GameStop proclaims ‘We reserve the right to refuse any return.’”
Consumer Reports lists Amazon.com as a much better alternative to buying games, given the better return policy and easier internet experience overall.
