The “three copies” part makes this seem really fake. Why would a parent buy more than one copy of a game?
You thought it’s a fishing game. It was Skyrim.
One for my kid, one for each family of cousins (my brother’s and sister’s respective kids) “so they can play their nintendo machines on the internets like they always do?”
I guess if one of the siblings is better off than the others, I could see them buying the same game for other family members, but it seems kind of unusual.
In December in America we do this thing called Christmas, where you get gifts for and gather with family and friends and exchange them. Kids are often included in this despite not having money of their own, and usually receive gifts from the family like video games or other doodads.
Video games themselves are barely sold on disks anymore, while this could have all transpired about two months ago, it’s more likely to be an old post immortalized into a screencap, this could be from 2010 for all we know, which is the year that game was released for the xbox 360, coincidentally.
Yes, I meant for Christmas. Your kid says “I want cod!”, so you buy three copies of the game for other family members as well? Why aren’t their parents buying the game for them?
Well, my sister asked what I was getting her little Tommy this year so we can make sure we didn’t get the same thing, she got him RDR:UN so I was safe to get him COD too. My brother said he was getting little Susan and Jerry Rock Band 2, so I was free to get them a copy of COD as well and that way all our children can fish together! Turns out they didn’t want to fish at all, they wanted to shoot at each other! Kids these days I swear!
You never bought your niece or nephew a gift? Should video games be strictly relegated to parental gifts? What am I allowed to buy for familial children age 1-17 that I didn’t have hand in birthing? More importantly, what exactly are you smoking, and can I have some?
What’s with the oddly hostile tone? Who hurt you?
I can’t make a joke about you being high because you seem to think only parents can get video games for their own kids, not for their niece/nephew?
Am I the high one then?
anon is cruel af
Kid doesn’t deserve cod
This is so gay, a rainbow blew apart my anus, and I liked it
Was Anon just being a pedantic dick, or are they profoundly ignorant? Why would they fail to make the obvious assumption that the parent meant Call of Duty? Isn’t helping clueless parents a regular part of the job?
Or am I the ignorant one, and missing the joke entirely?
Anon was being a PoS. Ofc they knew they meant Call of Duty.
You are the ignorant one, unfortunately. It is a well known fact that GameStop cashiers just want to watch the world burn, and that is exactly what they did to that family Christmas.
They did the little man dirty for the lulz.
Can confirm.
I haven’t purchased a game at a GameStop in decades. But I’ll never forget the time a cashier was getting yelled at by a shitty teenager because the teenager felt conned having preordered a JRPG thinking it was a First-Person Shooter, and the teenager was throwing empty game boxes around calling the cashier all sorts of 2000’s era offensive names.
I don’t understand the full story but I think about it often.
Oh well. It happens. It’s just hard for me to imagine ruining a kid’s Christmas on purpose.
Anon was obviously trolling the parent.
Or am I the ignorant one, and missing the joke entirely?
Oof.
Did a quick search, that game is available to pretty much every platform. PS2, PS3, PS4, Wii, WiiU, NDS, 360. The buy 2 get 1 free makes more sense now
Anon ahould have kept his copied of sega bass fishing. The most intense game ever produced
I really enjoy fishing games =/
were you the kid in the story?
Well actually cod is meant to be played by adults only
So, you know, it’s a good deed in a way. A very deceiving and lucrative one, but still good 🧐
