Damn, marketing has sure done a number on people.

Right there with ya. I just assume these people either lost the genetic lottery or, more than likely, are just obese.
They might have bought new because it was going to be a gift. They might like having physical media, and having a case in good condition is important to them. Again, all of this is completely irrelevant as the major retailer is the problem and none of OP’s decisions leading up to it.
I feel like most of these questions are just victim blaming. OP bought a new game from a retail store and was not sent a new game; end of story. They should not need to take it further than that when making a purchase. They shouldn’t need to physically go to a store when making a purchase online. They should not need to justify buying used vs new. For all you know the new price was comparable or better than used (happens frequently). Maybe they had a gift card to gamestop. There’s any number of reasons. The takeaway here is Gamestop pulled a bait and switch. OP held up their end of the transaction.
Dude is covering for his bird bro.
