Topic	Bethesda threatened someone with legal action for selling their games -_-
Bugmeat 08/12/18 2:06:38 AM #29:	Mario_VS_DK posted... When contacted by Polygon, Bethesda offered the following statement: Bethesda does not and will not block the sale of pre-owned games. The issue in this case is that the seller offered a pre-owned game as new on the Amazon Marketplace. We do not allow non-authorized resellers to represent what they sell as new because we cant verify that the game hasnt been opened and repackaged. This is how we help protect buyers from fraud and ensure our customers always receive authentic new product, with all enclosed materials and warranty intact. In this case, if the game had been listed as Pre-Owned, this would not have been an issue. Little bit more understandable with that, but still... That's all well and good and if that really was all Bethesda wanted they need to make sure their legal team understands that. Because that's not what the letter the lawyers sent said. The letter told him to stop selling any all Bethesda products as well as identify all if his sources for those products he would be sued. --- John Mellencamp said it best "Life goes on long after the thrill of living is gone." <cite>Bugmeat posted [p:906727734] in Bethesda t...
