Yeah, this is a very “what the f*ck” issue that is seemingly being ignored by the company doing it. Can you imagine the frustration of going to Redbox to rent a game, spending the money, getting the box, only to get it home and find out someone took the actual disc out and replaced it with a print out cut out to look like the game disc? Thing is, this is about the 10th time I have seen it on Reddit so one of two things is going on right now:

Option one: Some gamers are genuine scumbags (you know, like the kids that call you a homo on live chat for no reason) and they rent these games for a few bucks, print out the paper, steal the disc, and then send it back. This puts the blame on Redbox for not even having quality control check to make sure the actual games get returned. That is some ghetto bullshit, but that is kinda what you get for renting from a Redbox. Have some damn respect for yourself and gaming. Used games at Gamestop cost as much as these rentals but you get to keep the game. Why use Redbox?

Option Two: Gamers are realizing people who post these pics are getting points and getting upvoted on Reddit so they are renting games and pretending this is happening to them, when in actuality, it isn’t. I actually think what we are seeing might be a little of both. But at the end of the day, Redbox needs to up their quality control and holding people accountable. Oh wait, they can’t because the renting is anonymous and can be paid for with cash. THAT, my fellow gamers, is why you do not support a shady and shitty business like that.

Some consumer advice: you don’t ever rent from Redbox this will literally NEVER happen to you. Problem solved. It really is THAT simple. If they supported gamers, they would not resend out empty games. But put them out of business by giving them no business and you end the problem.
