That's true, it would be.  My guess is if you called them up and
told them you were seriously disappointed with it and that you were
surprised that MacConnection would sell something of such a shoddy-quality
that they'd be happy to take it back as well.  MacConnection isn't
going to be out $35.  They either get credit from the manufacturer or
re-shrinkwrap it and resell it.  I still have no qualms telling them
otherwise, as the game is a shoddy piece of software and people are
buying it unaware.  If you wish to return it, try my second suggestion
and express your unhappiness and your lack of faith in buying from
MacConnection again... (while the first part isn't lying, the second
part might be stretching the truth, but what the heck...)
