So, April 1st rolls around, you probably put a plastic spider in the shower, right? Not if you’re GameStation- the retailer had something else in mind for the renowned day of tomfoolery.
Cleverly tweaking the Terms & Conditions to fit in a “soul owning” section, the company managed to obtain the ‘soul’ of 88% of customers on that day, with the lucky 12% who read without mindlessly clicking the “I accept” button receiving a £5 gift voucher.
The outfit claims that over 7,500 people were duped, and concerns were then raised as to the sharing of their precious souls.
GameStation has promised not to sell the souls on to third parties, although reports suggest a mysterious Mr Beelzebub is driving a hard bargain for them. We don’t know about you, but we’ll be reading that fine print a little more meticulously from now on. If you're worried, consult your local Gamestation or place of worship (if they're not one and the same).
