Good for them. I do hope that this potential strike will better the video game voice acting industry as well as help the developers in long run. Hopefully the developers unionize themselves.

Good luck voice actors guild! Hope your developer brothers and sisters can unionize too some day and you two could work together to make things better for both of you.

True story. I used to be an Assistant Manager at a Gamestop and after a month or two (depending on the game) we would Penny out the guides and if none of the employees claimed them, we threw them out. I was never against giving guides to customers who wanted them. We often left them out on our countertops with a sign…

I work at a bookstore, and this is a policy my company also does. Drives me nuts because the stuff we were trashing could have at the very least gone home with one of us, or with a LITTLE more effort gone to one of the local schools libraries. I was even willing to drop it off on my way home at the high school that…

The difference is car salesmen make commission and fight to be more wealthy, while gamestop employees don’t make commission and have to try and fight to keep their min. wage jobs.

How is that the customers’ problem?

But you are being attacked and I say this as a former GameStop manager. When my job description turned into antagonizing my customers instead of helping them I quit.

Dude yes. Last time I went to a gamestop (which is only like...3 times a year) this chick was like “hey what do you like playing? Have to played this yet? You should check this out! Check this out too! I love this.”

A friend of mine was scoffed at for his choice of game

None of my experiences were quite as bad as this. I don’t remember the exact game he wanted to preorder (I want to say it was DMC or some other notable release). When he told the cashier he wanted to preorder it the cashier actually made a scoffing sound and asked…

It was always Gamestop and it was always the same story:

Me: “Hi, I’d like to pick up a copy of (insert new release)“
Gamestop: “Did you Pre-order?”
Me: “Nope, I just came into this game store to buy a game”.
Gamestop: “Sorry, we only have enough copies for pre-orders for some reason”
Me: Runs across the street to Best Buy…

Ugh, I HATED doing that! A lifetime ago I worked at Electronics Boutique/EB Games/GameStop (not long after it became GameStop) and every month we had to push something on EVERY customer. I felt like a was a freakin’ robot. It didn’t matter if you could tell the person wasn’t interested. It didn’t matter that you were…

This happened to me with a guide at Gamestop. They called the inventory “pennied out” and refused to sell it to me or give it to me even though they told me it was getting thrown out. Corporations are seriously fucking stupid.

This is literally the conversation I had last time I was at gamestop buying a game.

Honestly it kind of sounds like you gave the employee a bad customer experience. They shouldn’t have sold it to you like that in the first place, and having worked at GameStop myself in the past, I would have swapped out the AV cable for you instead of selling you one with a bad one, but it sounds like the employee…

It’s pretty common for a lot of stores (the ones I’ve dealt with, at least) to not price match stuff on their own website. There’s a variety of reasons, but most seem to boil down to the physical site not having to fuss with shipping, or something.

I have a good one. It was like eight or nine years ago, and I was going to trade in my original XBox 360. Now, I bought it used from Game Stop a year earlier, and when I bought it the audio-visual wires were damaged at the port that connected them to the XBox 360. They worked fine, the casing was just cracked and a…

This is looking more and more like a couple of douchebag bro’s on a roadtrip. Especially with that hair and the gay undertones. Now I’m all for more flamboyant homosexuals in games shouting ‘yahoo’ but these four seem like the type to bash and beat up what they secretly are themselves.

This is one of best mods ever made and so fitting for GTA V.

We were so close.
