![]() ![]() But they're leaving money on the table if they don't resell all the data they can legally sell. Now obviously they got most of their revenue by annoying the heck out of debtors right up to the legal limit. ![]() I can give you one very specific answer in that my late father decades ago worked in IT for a collections agency and one way that biz works is they pay a fixed amount to buy some companies 120+ day accounts receivable file (the feds and every state highly regulates this and its highly variable and complicated, but this is the simplified version.) and this gave them a vast pile of records and legal ability to collect the debt. The sheer number and diversity of data collection points - and their increasing necessity to participate in the digital economy - makes opting out orders-of-magnitude more difficult. She has to shed nearly every piece of her modern identity - reconfigure apps, wipe her phone/laptop/tablet, stop using sites that geolocate via IP, and halt nearly all interactions with the modern economy - at significant social cost. In this brave new world, though, her ex can track her with the utmost ease. And she definitely didn't need to take her life in her hands to order a cheese pizza. She could continue to maintain a reasonable subset of her professional and social relationships. In your phone book world, she didn't need to dramatically alter her existence to stay safe. And they're everywhere.Ĭonsider the following hypothetical: A battered wife flees her husband and takes shelter in a shared house run by a women's organization. There's absolutely no such choice, though, from these modern, private data collectors. The phone book is an opt-in system, with the ability to remain "unlisted". "Do we forget that not long ago everyone's name, address, and phone number was published in the phone book " In this new economy, you are always the product. So I'm afraid your search for a canonical list of data sources is ultimately fruitless. Anything to keep a lower profile.įar more companies than you realize are collecting as much data as possible about you, your habits, and your relations. I rented informally and, whenever possible, tried to just pay the landlord my share of utilities in cash. When I lived in the US, I stopped having food delivered, paid in cash, and never signed up for branded credit cards. This experience has made me extremely sensitive about the information I give while making a purchase. I had ordered from Domino's once, but that was enough to link my name to a specific location. Turns out, some fast food chains do a brisk business in reselling customer data. "Where the fsck did you get all this?!" I demanded. I was shocked that they had so much data on me - I have no debt, no credit cards, no house, no car, no bills, and I had always entered informal rent agreements (I was poor) up to that point - yet the rep was easily able to list all the places I had resided from college to present, along with a host of off-the-books housemates. It involved those relationship questions ("Which one of the following people have you not lived with in the last 5 years?") that are incredibly creepy. I've had the misfortune to be present for an in-person demo of a verification service nearly a decade ago. So how do I find out?

I'm not looking for just 1 pointer, though I would appreciate it. My question is, who are these, and (where it is possible to know) whom are they selling to? How can I find out? Surely someone knows, and I'm tired of playing this goose chase where those who don't know just make random guesses as to how the information must be coming from some some public records, and those who do know say hardly anything beyond "you have to know where to look". Someone (or a few) hidden underneath has to be doing the heavy-lifting of scraping people's data from sketchy sources and selling them to third-party companies while staying hidden. is not in some government agency's public record, and regardless, surely there's no way that hundreds of companies are repeating each others' work over and over again when they could just buy the information from someone. I'm pretty darn sure that some of the personal information I can find online on MyLife, Intelius, InstantCheckmate, Spokeo, etc. The usual useless BS is "oh, these companies get it from governmental public records". Please excuse the frustrated tone the "secrecy" all over the internet about the whole issue has been driving me insane. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The Flip Side “Not for resale?” GameStop makes the rules around here, bitch! As for the sports games, though? Well, it’s possible that games like NFL 2K and Madden 94 will never be accepted as trade-in, because GameStop will likely have very little to show for it in the end considering how low demand is for them. Splatterhouse 2 or Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle? Sure, Splatterhouse 2 is slightly in demand, but I’ve never seen anyone trying to sell a bootleg repro cart of the game. Not all of those games are high-dollar rarities, though. If you owned a store filled with generally untrained teenagers, would you want them offering hundreds of dollars for a copy of Stadium Events which you had no way to determine was genuine? Narp. That’s not to say that they won’t eventually add these games to their catalog at some point, but that may depend on how GameStop ultimately deals with commonly bootlegged games. My guess is that GameStop is worried about buying up the rarer games like MUSHA, Project Justice or Ninja Gaiden Trilogy for fear that they may inadvertently buy back bootleg copies instead of genuine ones. See the pattern? Most of those unlisted games are either rare games or sports titles, with a few exceptions. Project Justice isn’t listed? Apparently even GameStop can’t put a price on this glorious pair of… boxing gloves. ![]() Nintendo garbage not in the GameStop system was Stadium Events for NES and both Earthbound and Ninja Gaiden Trilogy on SNES. Dreamcast games not in the system were Mars Matrix, Project Justice, NFL 2K and Skies of Arcadia. These included Genesis games like Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle, John Madden 94 (Genesis), MUSHA, Splatterhouse 2, The Punisher and Mutant League Hockey. There were also many other games I asked about, but I was told that these games weren’t in the GameStop system for whatever reason. on NES, which GameStop told me they “would not accept for trade-in.” (Because it sucks, no doubt, right?) The only exception is the original Super Mario Bros. Interestingly, though GameStop has a well-deserved reputation for paying pittance for your used games, their trade-in prices are consistently quite a bit higher than eStarland’s prices. GameStop says you can keep this piece of crap. And if you’re a good SEGA fan looking to unload some of your gray Nintendo games for babies, I asked about a couple of them, too. I asked GameStop about both a SEGA Genesis and Dreamcast console and several key games. You’ll see both the cash and in-store credit trade-in values from GameStop, and for comparison, I added the trade-in value for a loose cart from another retro gaming reseller, eStarland. GameStop's Trade-in Price (in-store credit)ĮStarland Trade-in Price (cash, loose game) Well, here are those answers, in tabular form. Of course that “dead cancer kid” story was a lie, but as the greatest crack reporter SEGA Nerds has on staff, I felt it necessary to keep the New York GameStop employee’s sympathy on my side, because I had a lot of questions and I was going to get the answers I wanted, goddammit! Straight dope! I have several I’d like to get estimates on… if it’s not too much trouble? ![]() Anyway, I heard that GameStop has just started buying retro video games again. GameStop Employee: Oh, I’m very sorry to hear that sir. Want to keep someone on the line without fear of them hanging up on you? Feed ’em the ol’ “dead cancer kid” line. I lost my son to cancer several years ago, and he left us with a bunch of his stuff like old games. Since the GameStop website is not yet providing these answers (though it may any day now), I called one of the pilot programs stores in New York to do some digging. I’m sure many people are out there wondering how much GameStop will give us cash-strapped retro gamers to buy our childhood memories. So, you want to know how much GameStop will give you for you retro SEGA stuff, huh? I’ve got you covered, nerds!Īs many of you know, on April 24 GameStop launched a pilot program in select markets to begin buying back retro consoles and games. ![]() ![]() ![]() You can easily convert images to PNF with Preview.

Theres also the mercenary system (which you've already mentioned), new idle animations, and new types of NPCs, however I got to say that my favourite feature in this game that separates it from previous titles is the story progression. A load of new items and monsters are added in this game aswell, with 2 extra types of pets, and the "Imp" playable race. The multiple towns have been changed to 1 single town with 4 unique dungeons. The hud has been given a full makeover to better fit the Arabic setting. (One more feature that was added that I feel most people forget, yet is probably the best change ever made to this series, is an expanded inventory for your pet, DOUBLING the space your pet can carry and sell, which is truely a life saver).Ĭursed king is the game that changed the most. Despite all these great changes, most of the game has you doing the exact same quests as Undiscovered realms, making it feel less like a 3rd installment and more like a heavily polished version of the second game. It adds tons of new weapons and items, layout changes to pre-existing towns, and a brand new dungeon with unique enemies called "The chamber of trials", in which you mainly fight 4 new bosses: 3 variations of a monster based on your character's race (skeleton king for humans, centaurs orcs for half-orcs, etc) and a very unique final boss which I won't spoil here. This game also brings back the Town of Grove, which is playable despite the fact that you cannot get a realm quest for its dungeon. It also features the inclusion of races, wielding a spell and different skill attributes from the get-go (along with added pet customisation). Along with many balancing changes made to the enemies, this game features a new "rage attack" mechanic, which uses your stamina to deal a powerful attack based on your current weapon. Traitor Soul is what feel like it could be a true sequel if it were the second game in the series instead of Undiscovered Realms. Also they add a hardcore mode, a feature also in the next 2 games. ![]() However, there are no new character customizations, no new mechanics, and no new items (except for fish, they add new fish in every game). There are also tons of new enemies, and 2 new types of quests, where you can either destroy/defend a shrine from enemies, or escort creatures to a certain level of a dungeon. This game features a mechanic that allows you to import any character from any previous game to play as, a feature that gets retained throughout the entire series. Undiscovered Realms features 3 new towns and dungeons, with the story taking place right after the first game. However, imo, I personally feel like they all add enough content to be sold as individual products. I guess the sequels could be considered as expantion packs compared to most video game sequels on the market today. ![]() |
