Aye, I felt the same way when reading what he was saying about working in Gamestop, to go into work actively trying to warp the customers of the shop to become pawns in the console war going on inside the OPs head, worries me if any of the employees of the shops I would go into are secretly having their own private power trip regarding the games they sell on a daily basis. Worrying. |
i wasnt damaging others, i was giving them the choice. more often than not, they would go along with what i was saying just because of the way i was spinning it. if they didnt go along with it, then oh well, id sell them their game that they brought up and thats the end of it. i just like making sure nintendo gets as much money and profit as possible. its fun.
| BraLoD said: Yeah, I knew nothing would change. Not enough to love Nintendo, still mentioning when you did people also not give money to others. You can love Nintendo without trying to damage the others, you know... |
there has been a big change. how many sony hate threads have you seen from me? lol. remember when you used to guess who the thread creator was before entering the thread? see, thats different. and i actually am playing by the rules now. theres a lot thats different.
I feel sorry for everybody who is actually feeling bad about what this guy is claiming he 'did' at Gamestop. This is almost certainly a fabrication designed to make people feel as awkward as possible. It's sad that it seems to be working.

lol.. no, i actually did that. i tried convincing some of my coworkers to do it too. i was so proud when one of them swayed the customer into buying a new copy of punch out instead of a used one. using the simple technique of just asking them if they wanted a new one for "only" 5 dollars more.
| PerturbedKitty said: hey everybody let's just cut to the chase. i love giving my money to nintendo. every day or so i find myself trying to make excuses to go to best buy, target, gamestop, etc. so i can go buy something nintendo related and up their sales. i love buying their amiibos and i love buying all their games. yesterday, i went to best buy and bought a blue yoshi amiibo, zelda: triforce heroes, and ducktales: remastered. a couple days before that, i bought a falco amiibo and mario tennis: ultra smash. those are all the nintendo products i bought this week, and honestly i havent even used any of them or took them out of the shrink wrap. i just threw them in my closet when i got home and went about my day. it just feels good knowing that my money is going to a good cause, ya know? when i buy a nintendo product, i know that it is making a positive impact on the gaming industry by supporting a company that is going to take care of it and not just exploit it. in fact, i am so dedicated to giving nintendo money, that i make sure other people do it too. when i worked at gamestop (october 2007-june 2009) i used to get the customers to give nintendo their money. i made sure to sell all the PS3 and 360 games used, and the only games i would sell new were the Nintendo games. it was easy. Nintendo customer brings to the counter a used copy of Super Mario Galaxy: "I'm pretty sure we have a new copy of this in stock right now. it's only five dollars more, plus you get the comfort in knowing that it's new and has never been played before." HD customer brings up a new copy of Resident Evil 5: "would you maybe want a used copy of this? it's basically the same thing as a new copy. it's only five dollars cheaper. plus, if you don't like the game, you have seven days to return it!" i just wanted to share that with you guys. do you like giving your money to nintendo? its a very satisfying feeling for me. |
I instantly don't like you. I think you might be fucked in the head.

Even looking at the dates tho, perhaps OP thinks he was doing it, moreso than lying that he did it. It was in 2007, 9 years ago, he is 26 so that would have made him 17 years old. I'm just weighing up how likely it is that anyone would take a lick of notice of what a 17 year old gamestop employee has to say to influence peoples purchases or even moreso... what sort of sales spin and marketing techniques a 17 year old has, most people at that age are still fueled by just 2 things, Hormones and acne. Neither of which are massive selling tools :D

i was 18 when i first started working there, and i didnt start using this tactic until at least a year into working there.
graduated my highschool valadictorian by the way. with 11 AP classes. so yeah, i was hot shit back then.
Why not giving your money to every Japanese Company? I dont understand whats so magical for people like OP about Nintendo which you cant get anywhere else from Japanese Devolopers? Resident Evil 5 was one of the best games from last gen imo, to treat like this is pretty disgusting OP.

I haven't bought the remasters. And I wouldn't throw my money on Nintendo on games I'm not interested.

That's the very definition of damaging others... you were going out of your way to try and push the customers to your decision. And even playing against the interests of the company you worked for.
