They get to keep their jobs. I worked for GS for a few years, its not BS, you WILL be written up if your caught not saying that stuff.//I was not talking about the employees, of course they don&#039;t make d!@* of warranties, hell, they don&#039;t make money out of sales period, it&#039;s a regular pay for a low profitable business. Game Stores are one of the worst ideas ever because the only way to turn out a decent profit is to sale used games &amp; hardware and 3rd party hardware. I&#039;ve also worked at a store that sold computers and games, so I also knows how it works. I could sale 1 computer and the profit would be higher than selling 100 new games.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>//EvilHero Said: GS employees no longer receive extra money on warranties, their prize?
