I am taking sort of a little informational survey:
I buy very few games for use with my IBM pc... computers. However,
the users I support buy some. Over the last month or 2, I have had
a great influx of reported (& documented by me...) problems reading
original disks from unopened software boxes, coming from several
different local software vendors.
1. Has everyone/anyone else seen this annoying trend ?
2. Is it an attempt to increase sales by either making the disks
recorded weaker or to induce problems copying or tp bring you
back to the store over & over again.
The several stores that this is happening to, are very nice & are very
easily taking the packages back over & over & over again.
