So, I tried asking this question on Reddit, and all I got back were trolls and unserious replies. 😒
So, does anyone know how I can remove the sticker residue on these games without accidentally rubbing the factory codes off?

Impressive on textbooks, that's really tricky.
I'm continually surprised at what Goo Gone can remove without damaging the surface.
Yeah, you obviously wouldn't want to use it directly on the paper, but we'd use a rag covered in Goo Gone to clean/polish the laminated covers of books before shipping. Worked very well.
The heat gun was able to remove most stickers, but some of the more stubborn ones we'd soak in Goo Gone and scrape off with a plastic scraper.
