Can you give my $25 to charity I don't plan to go to GameStop ever again. I don't need no coupon.

The "error" is that you force employees to sell as many pre-orders as they could in order to hit company-established quotas – the same quotas you use to fire them if they aren't met on a regular basis.
This isn't a new error; you've been doing it for years, at their/our expense.
