    I know very few video games are sold through warehouses that are shipped these days. But, I used to work for a warehouse that sold video games. If the thin clear plastic covering on one tore, it was cheaper to throw it out rather than have it covered again and there was no selling it without that covering (unsure why- no demand, I’d guess). So, we threw them into our huge shipping container-sized trash cans and then soon had problems with vandals going through them after hours to get the games and possibly resell them. Sometimes we’d throw 100 games away a week -because of small accidents tearing the fragile covering. Sooooo wasteful…
