Is Gamestop Evil? The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

[Ziggy]

I know that society thinks some words are bad regardless of how they are used

Good, then you can understand why I said this:

I wouldn't add THIS thread. Too many four letter words.

I know that society thinks some words are bad regardless of how they are used, and I don't give a fuck. Society is often wrong. Just because most people are wrong doesn't make them right.

With that type of attitude, I don't see you being successful in your job or a business.

that's probably because for some strange reason he chose Advertising as his profession. Go figure.

Sorry I brought up the link idea. Maybe focus on how to fix the Gamestop problem? Think about the current generation used games going to yellow envelopes. It will happen as more games and newer hardware come out.

So as a start for the petition, Ziggy please feel free to add and quote my earlier reply that I already submitted to the Gamestop receipt survey. I think if others add a small meaningful paragraph, we can have a petition that will get results. Meanwhile the sales receipt survey has a add comments section for immediate feedback.

The petition sent directly to corporate offices will definitely have the most impact, especially when endorsed with comments from many members here.

I curse normally whenever I talk to people in real life. Friends, family, at work, with strangers. I make my decisions in life based on truth and reality, so thanks to that, I end up making smart decisions.

I'm actually doing very well. I make good money, have a lot of freedom, unmarried, no children, and I play a lot of video games which is what I enjoy doing the most.

It's not like I am one of those people who says fuck every other word. My way of talking is more truthful and void of bullshit. I consider all words to use, and use the best one. If I'm talking about fecal matter, I will say shit instead of crap or poop. If someone dies, I will say they died, instead of "passed on".

Society isn't wrong on that one. It's an actual part of language structure. Some words automatically equal crass. "Fuck" for instance. I am thinking...no, there's really no instance where it is the most polite choice.

Now, you can go ahead and use these words as much as you want. I sure won't stop you. But don't blame society if people make assumptions of your intelligence, level of culture, or character based on the words you choose to use so flippantly.

I figured you'd be attracting 'em like flies to shit with that poet's tongue of yrs!

Gamestop is certainly evil and of course we would never shop there because we love video games. Unfortunately there are many more uninformed gamers out there who do shop at Gamestop and they are the ones buying the disc only PS2 games and supporting the destruction of the case/manual.

These customers have no idea that Gamestop was the one who destroyed the cases. Maybe they think these games were traded in to the store as loose discs to begin with. If more people can learn that Gamestop is destroying game cases and manuals, we would have a better chance of stopping this.

If you shop at Gamestop, you are either ignorant (don't know about the case & manual destruction) or just don't care about video games enough for it to bother you.

Fuck you, Gamestop. The video game industry is better off without you.

Wow,the ""Trowing away cases inserts and manuals" part made me cringe,thats just.....bullocks

I shop at Gamestop. I don't buy disc-only games, though. But I get lots of good deals on used games. So which am I -- ignorant or uncaring?
