If the store isn't losing any of their stock, I don't see the problem, they can just sell Game B, instead of Game A.

I've never done that, never even thought of it before (:rick but I doubt I'd go to the hassle unless it was a significant difference. Since it's unopened though, and they aren't losing money on reselling the item, do as you will.

Returning opened stuff though for similar reasons I'd feel too guilty about to do. I've returned opened games before, but always to the same place (all require receipts around here) and usually for another copy of the same game. They often would open the new game before giving it to me too, probably thought I was trying to scam them.

What is wrong with you guys? If they don't require a receipt to return something, that's their own damn fault.

Hell no it's not stealing. You are buying a game and selling it to someone else for profit.

If that were stealing every business that has ever existed should be in jail.
