    There’s just no way you could reasonably expect retail employees to verify games. There will need to be an automated system that is more difficult to bypass than it’s worth, and that will likely be more expensive than it’s worth.

    We are getting to a point where there are fakes out there that are 100% identical to the real thing, and aren’t all that cheap. It’s an interesting situation.
