Quote:If you purchase your copy of Deus Ex: Human Revolution at a retail store, you're supposed to receive a code that allows you to play the game for free using the online gaming service OnLive. It's a neat giveaway, and it certainly gives gamers an incentive to try the service, but a leaked memo seems to show GameStop's fear of digital delivery: employees are allegedly being asked to open every game and remove the coupon.

Their justification for why they're doing it is pretty crappy.
It's not having what you want - It's wanting what you've got.

While I could see GameStop taking some action if they had no information whatsoever regarding the free version for OnLive, removing that copy was definitely not the way to go. :/
