That's not as bad as software developers who slap a "not for resale" sticker on physical goods that I paid for. Some old retro game carts were like this. I tell myself that if I ever decide to sell them, I will take a marker and draw a line over the word "not" first, just to be funny.

We only did this to prevent retailers from reneging on packaged deals by parting them out. This in turn would alienate customers and give them a negative view of us because they saw our bundle advertised at $449 with 2 controllers and such and such game. It has nothing to do with people parting the units out on their own.
