WHY are Video Games THIS CHEAP @ Walmart?!

Our Walmart managers buy them before they even hit the floor then sale them on Ebay and Amazon under their spouses first and Maiden names. The lock on the door is broken so they can't put them on the floor then the door is mysteriously "fixed" when new games come out.

When they go private it will be way worse. And of course all the other giants have straight up said you're only borrowing the privilege to play the game, not owning it. At least on consoles you can still buy physical copies.
