In response to a [URL=http://gamepolitics.com/2010/03/26/lawsuit-targets-gamestop-over-%E2%80%9Cfree%E2%80%9D-dlc]consumer suing retailer GameStop[/URL] over the code for free downloadable content from a used game already being used (by the original purchaser), UK retailer GAME has taken a proactive step to avoid sharing a similar fate with its U.S.-based counterpart.

According [URL=http://www.mcvuk.com/news/38466/GAME-adds-DLC-warning-to-pre-owned]to MCV[/URL], GAME has fashioned warning stickers that will warn potential purchasers to check with a store’s staff for more information on the availability of a used game’s downloadable content.

This solution, a GAME spokesperson told MCV, would allow the staff to “explain clearly the difference so that our customers understand the benefits of buying both pre-owned and mint [new].”

GAME started using the stickers in its stores last week.
