While others make money through game selling, others earn money IN the game. Please read this article http://www.goarticles.com/cgi-bin/showa.cgi?C=1421576 and you'll see what I mean.

Having to stop and be checked by the "door employee" after you buy a video game or CD is stupid. That is what we need is another lock.
