GameStop forced Square Enix to remove Deus Ex: Human Revolution from its shelves


While the PC version of Deus Ex: Human Revolution is available in the U.S. recently,we have just learned that the brand GameStop forced Square Enix to remove the game from its shelves. Why? Well just imagine that all this is due to the fact that SquareEnix had integrated in the box, in addition to the game on physical media, a code todownload the title on the platform OnLive. It was not to the taste of GameStop, which owns the platform download Impulse. Thus, if initially, GameStop employees had opened the boxes to remove the coupons, the store chain has reached an agreement with Square Enix in order to return all received versions and replace them with versionswithout box coupons . Moreover, the Japanese company apologized for themiscommunication between both parties and has already prompted buyers who want a version of Deus Ex: Human Revolution without additional coupon to buy the title in one of 4000 stores North American GameStop or download a digital copy on their website.

The iconic co-founder and owner of the trademark accessory Apple, Steve Jobs has just left the ship. Indeed, the man, who was on sick leave since January, said he could no longer fulfill his duties as director and he gave way to his second, Tim Cook. This departure, which should in no way delay the arrival of the iPhone 5 by the end of the year, is still marked as Jobs has been critical of Apple in the image of Bill Gates andMicrosoft. Note however that the man wants to remain chairman of the board of Apple,This implies a strong decision-making power.
