People are actually buying Halo Wars not knowing that it's a RTS

This is a shot in the dark, but I'm guessing the mother bought the game for the little shit kid because she knew he played a game called Halo, gave it to the little shit kid, little shit kid threw a tantrum because he knew it wasn't a shooter and didn't want the gift, and the other was returning it.

Call me pessimistic but I'm guessing that's what happened.

there is a good chance of that too, but honestly I don't know any parents who just buy a game in the first day for a kid unless they asked for it.

 

 

• birthday
• special occasion like first communion or confirmation (people actually get gifts for religious things like that)
• kid asked for one game, they didn't have it (very likely with Gamestop if it's a new game), mother got another
• kid is spoiled

I could probably come up with reasons all day why the kid might get a random gift
