*chuckles* So who's the lucky lad you're buying this game for?

>*chuckles* So who's the lucky lad you're buying this game for?

Me, you fucking retard.

My nephew

I'm buying it for an adult who doesn't work retail
ta-ta

>physical copies in the year of our lord twenty seventeen

For you

At least he didn't assume my girly anime game was for a girl.

>so you're buying this for kids, right?

Myself. And what the fuck's with that bag, anyways? Is this Wendy's?

...

>buying permission to play a game

...

His expression reminds me of Pixy

>paying money for data to download on your hard drive

*chuckles back*
*says a 2013 meme*
*leaves*
:3c

>*braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaapp* im sorry, what did you say?

That's what you're doing when you buy a physical copy too, though

My girlfriend... called... Stacey... she likes... Marios... fuck you

Could someone get this hothead outta here?

>implying he would ask that instead of trying to shill as many preorders or protection plans as he can

Have you ever actually bought anything from Gamestop?

Why am I getting my game in a paper bag

He already gave you your game, the bag has your Nuts of Chaos, used pizza and Mountain Dew

CASHEWS of Chaos you fuckin n00b

You know IN THE BATHROOM

>thanks
>leave before he can respond

>sup bro. buying this game for your nemesis to humiliate him for being a nerdy manchild?
>i mean, you don't actually play videogames yourself at that age?

You know this is why you guys are gonna go out of business right?

where the fuck do you live that gamestop uses paper bags instead of plastic?

>"One copy of Blue Reflection, please"

No gamestop employees would ever say anything like this because they all fucking hate themselves. Most they'd ever say was "enjoy the game"

>"enjoy the game"
YEah. I will! Because I can still enjoy things. Because I don't work here

>paying money for data on a disc to transfer to your hard drive

Goddaughter, it's for her birthday.

I know this one Gamestop manager who always seems pleased to see me. We've had some nice talks about vidya before. I don't know is he so polite to everyone else, but that would be pretty remarkable for a Gamestop employee.

He wants customers to come back duh.
I'd rather watch Let's Play it's a better friend simulator than going to stores and have people paid to pretend they like you.

pecuck spotted

I bought Wind Waker HD for my little sister

The dude at the counter said "Have fun!", and I said "Thanks, have a nice day!" and left the store

It's OK user you don't have to lie to us.

Me?
What gave you the impression -this- knows or cares about anyone else?

It's the truth.

>Buy download
>Play game
>Delete game data to make room for more games
>Game removed from digital stores
>Can't redownload game
>Out $20+

you calling me a gay, shopkeep?

>buy game
>take it home
>play game
>throw it in the garbage to make room one my shelf
>game stops being sold from stores
>can't rebuy game
>out $60

You could still have fun user.

>throw it in the garbage to make room one my shelf

>implying physical copies contain any game data and not just a steam key

>Deleting data with the expectation that you may download it again is the same as throwing away a game permanently.
You're shitting me.

this is why I stopped buying physical pc games

You can still buy physical PC games?

it's your fault for having a retarded hypothetical.
Games that stop being sold digitally can still be redownloaded unlimited times if you own it.
Steam/XBL/PSN would have to be literally defunct for your hypothetical to work, even then it's not just going to happen overnight.
The only example of a digital title just vanishing for people who didn't back it up is P.T which was a free demo.

>it's your fault for having a retarded hypothetical.
It happens more often than it should.
The Scott Pilgrim game and The Simpsons Arcade come to mind.

you can redownload those, that took me a second to google man.

Then I've been drastically misinformed. My bad.

But sense we are on hypothedicals, what would happen if Valve where to go bankrupt? In theory, it would have a much more disastrous effect than, say, a physical game distribution chain where to fail.

You :3

first, not happening c'mon they could stay afloat on the trading economy alone.

secondly they've said they would remove DRM on all titles if that were to happen years ago.

thirdly it wouldn't happen overnight, you'd have more than enough notice to download your games if something that drastic was to happen.
I'd be more concerned with having my physical games deteriorating than my digital products disappearing, far more likely to get a bad scratch or a flash flood than Steam/XBL/PSN to just disappear suddenly.

>Guitar Hero
>Halo 3
That has to be peak GameStop right there.
What will you remember from the late 00's, user?

*scoffs* it's for me, sir. *turn around and head for the door* and i don't appreciate your tone. *brandish my cape as i signal my mom to start the car*
