In light of GameStop’s recent decision to pull PC copies of Deus Ex: Human Revolution off store shelves, the company has now decided to compensate customers who purchased the title through the videogame retailer.
In an email from GameStop CEO Paul Raines, customers for the PC version of Deus Ex: HR are being offered a free $50 gift card as long as they bring in the aforementioned message and a receipt/order confirmation. In addition, they will have access to an exclusive "Buy 2 Get 1 Free" pre-owned purchase.
The full email can be read below.
"Dear GameStop customer,
Earlier this week, GameStop removed a competitor’s coupon from standard edition PC versions of Deus Ex: Human Revolution, a recent release by Square Enix. We were not aware that the product box would contain this competitor’s offer. We regret the events surrounding this title release and that our customers were put in the middle of this issue between GameStop and Square Enix, the publisher of this game. And for this, we are truly sorry.
For your inconvenience, we would like to offer you a free $50 GameStop gift card and a Buy 2 Get 1 Free pre-owned purchase. We want to earn back your trust and confidence in the GameStop experience. Please bring in this email and your store receipt or order confirmation from GameStop.com and present it to a Game Advisor.
Sincerely,
Paul Raines
CEO, GameStop"
