This has me imagining an employee only gift shop at the Microsoft offices with nothing but Xbox, PC games and old Microsoft office disks for sale
Yeah. They’d get it at a discounted price and shouldn’t sell it on. Someone has been a naughty boy.
This is just a sticker showing that an employee bought it with their store discount and to prevent them from reselling for a profit they put this sticker on there. Normally their employee number is listed so they could be identified.
Of course it’s a very easy policy to circumvent, and this many years out MSFT likely doesn’t care.
Some collectors like these though, but they are a niche audience.
Visitors to Microsoft used to be able to buy software from the company store at a steep discount. My dad used to take business trips out there and he’d bring me home copies of Windows, Halo, Age of Empires, etc.
Well, that is what it says.
Yeah, I worked in the same building as EA. I made a friend at the company who let me buy Battlefront Deluxe Edition for like $20 at their internal store as long as I was in the store with him, so it’s employee perks when you work for a game studio.
It quite literally says what it means.
I got to purchase these with a Microsoft MVP award back in the day, not being a Microsoft employee. They gave me some bucks to blow in the company store.
it was bought at an in-company store
SCEA used to straight up punch holes in our cases
Wasn’t this posted awhile ago?? Is OP bullshitting us?
