Literally a used Switch game in a big, ridiculous bag with a “New” sticker on it. Imagine going into a GameStop with a game in a bag like this and convincing them to give you credit for it as “New”.

Don’t buy online from GameStop. Actually, just don’t buy from GameStop.

    Have you tried talking to anyone at the company or is your first response just to cry about it in social media? Why did you walk out of the store with it in that condition? If you accepted it like that it’s your own fault.

      probably an online order.

      the fact that GS sells shit in this state speaks more about their cocksucker business; the idea that you’re standing up for it - stonkdweeb adherent lol. get a fucking life.

      it was a company circling the drain for great reason before it got saved by a bunch of reddit dweebs. enjoy your movie, I strongly doubt your hodls will be worth it lol

        Sounds like you got a lot of pent up hate you just unleashed on me randomly.

        I work in customer service. Talk to someone it generally gets the ball rolling. Also you’re an asshole.

          Man, if this phenomena was rallying around a decent company with a decent history that’d make sense… it’s a wretched company that’s been historically crap to it’s customers and employees. Your ‘concern’ for me is hilarious, you have a great night lol

        Geez, who hurt you?

        I’d argue, as long as there are “cocksuckers” that keep buying from them, regardless of these posts (I’ve seen at least 10 or 20 over the past years), there is very much a market to service. Just capitalisticly speaking.

    I bought a new game. I brought it to the counter and paid for it. They opened the display box I’d handed them, they pulled a cartridge out of an envelope from a drawer and put it in the display box and handed that to me.
    What the fuck?

      Every game on display has to have the display copy opened. The game itself is kept behind the counter, the case is put out for display. It’s to prevent theft. You got the last copy of the game in the store. It socks, but that’s why. When I worked there I let people know it was the last copy and that the game had been opened but was still “new”. Gave them a chance to change their mind. Alas, corporate doesn’t offer discounts on display copies, and employees have no power to lower the price.
