If a retailer tried to fingerprint me, I'd give them the middle finger and walk out.

Pretty insane. Yeah, I would refuse to ever buy from a (normal) store again if they tried to do that to me. I can kind of see the sense in it if it's a registered pawn shop or something, but even then I feel like the invasion of privacy is just too big.

But hey, it's not like anyone but dirty full-blooded console peasants still buys at gameshop anymore right, so who cares. Cue to Steam asking us our fingerprints to buy games digitally. :evil: I'd have to get all my games from gog, and be condemned to play the same classics over and over again.
