That_One_Guy Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 I know a youtuber that talked about his terrible experience working at Gamestop. Gamestop found out where he works now, called his HR department, and got him fired. Slimy fucks. I will continue to buy games elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate gamestop....Last time I went in, I sold them a broken PS3. The fan didn't work but it stayed on long enough for them to accept it. That said.....Do you think a company that size is petty enough to see out and attack some random youtuber....Pretty sure some one who didn't like him did it.....Don't think "gamestop" would waste their time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fan didn't work but it stayed on long enough for them to accept it. Few years back they sold this limited edition Xbox One controller and had a typical promo to trade in a used Xbox one controller for a discount on the new one. I stacked it with another discount and traded in a controller that was very busted but not noticeable until you tried playing something. They accepted it. Got the new controller for like $10 with all the discounts combined. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don’t talk bad about your employer, ESPECIALLY when you’re in a public space, like YouTube. I don’t blame GameStop here. I would do it, too. Had he kept his grievances to his exit interview, he would have a job right now. His fault for making is laundry public. They just decided to wash it for him.

They're the only place in my area that sells the titles I'm looking for aside from Wal-Mart. On this topic, I think it blows that the company has devolved. I worked for Gamestop at the age of 19. It was an okay place to work, but I only stayed for six months since I was in college at the time and needed to focus on my studies. That was 9 years ago, though. A lot of things within the corporate side have likely changed, and it may also depend on each store how certain things are handled.

If he's someone with a public platform and see used it to shit on old employers, he put himself in a bad spot.

Without the video, I thought he was fired from Gamestop after the managers hunted down which store he was at. Gamestop going to his new job at another company to get him fired from there is a lot more fucked up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lupin_bebop Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 You're lucky because you live on the west coast. You have choices and junk that aren't owned by GameStop. I used to work at Fry's they are shitty. Also, be careful with buying shit from there in the software section (Games, DVDs, etc) that is "used". Digital codes get swiped all the time. Best Buy is nice, but you can get better deals via Steam, PS Plus, or Xbox Live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lupin_bebop Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 As I said, as someone who worked at Fry's, you have to be careful, they are shitty. Even with the hardware of computers (Components section, where I worked). Most of the RAM, processors, and boards are good if they are new, because they go directly to the cage. Anything used, though, is suspect as Hell. Usually doesn't get tested or anything. It's usually just thrown back in the box and re-sold. If not that, components on boards and stuff get messed up and touched all the time, because they don't get handled with gloves, or even care. Same holds true of RAM sticks. You're better off going to Newegg or Amazon, because prices are better. Fry's even started price matching Amazon, because they know the shit is cheaper.
