I thought collector's items and secondhand didn't count? Quote:
And it's surprising what people will sell when it's not for resale. I found a whole shelf of Gideon's Bibles in a book exchange once :weird: |

| Luchsen | For sold status it doesn't matter if they're an official reseller since we want to support stores selling old games. It's a horse of a different colour when a store does the things Fifth Horseman mentioned. | |

It doesn't actually matter if they're are a limited company or not. CDAccess probably didn't even exist when copies of some of these games went out of production, so they're almost certainly remaindered stock; effectively, CDAccess are selling secondhand games, and certainly aren't paying their publishers a penny in royalties. At any rate, I'm going to make a list of the publishers with oldware on CDAccess and draft an email asking them to confirm or deny this. If the admin staff here want to put their names to it they can do so, otherwise I'll represent myself strictly as a private individual. |

The only things we could say is that some of their operation and stock seems to be rather suspicious: * They offer some games in package formats those games were never originally published in * They offer some games whose description admits are labeled "Not for resale" (likely copies from magazine cover CD's or OEM's) - and thus are violating that very rule. * They used to offer pre-orders of games which were known for a long time to have been cancelled (I think archive.org could help in digging up the proof for alleged availability of Full Throttle 2) |
