I watched this in the hopes of removing it from my homepage. Now I have a lot of GameStop stories in my home page.
ikr
same!
+bjgeantil yo what the hell how the fuck do you have so many subs?!?!
+ThatOneRubberDucky He made multiple accounts and subscribed to himself.
+ThatOneRubberDucky Wtf do you ask?
Please don't beg for subs at the beginning of the videos. Even if you have good content, it makes you come across as a bit desperate.
don't know how long you've been using youtube but people have been doing it for a decade now. it's a lost cause brotha
From the beginning, more or less (Can't say when exactly, first year). I knew people did it at the end of the videos, which is fine, I can skip it, but at the beginning of them?
it's his vid and no one told you to watch it.
+ZeeZooGuy lol
Really, People still use this outdated broken logic? No one gives a shit if its his video, its a scumbag thing to beg for subs at the beginning or in the middle of a video. That kind of mentality tells me Aaron Won One is more focused on the number of subs he has rather than the subs themselves. Video content creators should just let their content do the talking for them instead of asking for subs right of the starting block. I'm honestly less inclined to sub to someone who is asking me to sub to their channel before I even know what their content is and how good it is.
Honestly, anyone who says "nobody told you/forced you to watch the video" is an incredibly shitty and poorly thought out retort because it doesn't make sense logically.
asking for subs before even starting vid… definite not subscribing
I subbed. I don't mind if people advertise themselves on their own videos, but I can't stand it when they go to popular CZcams channels like PewDiePie and Onision and advertise themselves. They are basically trying to leech off of other CZcamsrs when they do that.
Sub to pooper jk jus messing around
But you're watching and commenting. SMART
+RavenGod Gaming checkout my channel im trying to grow as well
@RavenGod I mind it because my friend and im not kidding every 30 seconds in the video he will stop talking and say "And dont forget to sub and you know sub and join my clan" (Clan as in in call of duty his tag thing). Its annoying.
Once I farted at Gamestop I got banned for stinking the store.
LMAOOOOO
im sorry to hear that
Remote Control oh gosh!! Of course u did 😂😂😂😂😂
which employee did you cropdust to get that??
Gotta love when someone tells you to subscribe and share before the video even fucking starts.
LMAO
Was just going to say the same thing.
I don't beg for subs and likes because I feel the average person is smart enough to figure it out.
lol
and thats why you have 0 subs. gg dude
TheRedCouncil To whom are you referring to?
god why is this in my recommended ffs
No shit.
like honestly lmao
I figured it out. He's abusing CZcams metadata, you can find this yourself too. In his tags, which is a device youtube uses to link similar content creators or videos he has "VanossGaming" "PewDiePie" "Tmartn" and "snapchat" of all things. He's doing this so that his videos appear alongside those content creators even though this video had nothing to do with them.
thats a dick move wow lmao
+Space Atlantis so what he just wan ts to have better publicity. it's hard af to get a channel going. leave him be.
This old woman in Walmart wouldn't let me buy a game guide to an m-rated game. Talk about some bullshit.
Wtf lol
Silly as it may be, totally agree... if it says "M" on the book, & you're not "of age", they could get in trouble for selling it to you. I know, a book right? Crazy. Still... don't get mad at the poor old woman... just doin' her job, ya know? :)
Still it's just a book
i know
Omg!! I'm in this video! My gamertag is QB Cam Newton! Yooo this is dope! With over 1 million views
Of course they had new staff, you got them all fired from that massive cancellation of pre-orders :D You don't hit a daily quota for pre-orders there, your ass is on the line, so that much of a drop would have had the regional manager visit them at the very least!
But it wouldn't had happened if the employee didn't flip when he found out that he was buying games for his friends.
xKarma _
Of course. As long as they're old enough to buy it, it's none of their business what they do with the game after the sale.
They're technically not even allowed to ask.
@Larry Bundy Jr what are you doing here
DaysOfBordom
procrastinating :D
+Larry Bundy Jr well you gotta stop I need you so I can procrastinate
Clearly you don't know what "banned" means.
Nice clickb8 m8
It's not that misleading
It's more like kicked out
+Cr0Nix SaV3s i was about to comment that
Johlex's thug pug Pug You are welcome
When they told you "This is like going out and buying alcohol for minors" that is exactly what it is. When you work at EB Games or Gamestop, if you sell an M rated game to someone under the age, you get hit with the same fines as selling alcohol to minors. The fines are obscene.
I would have said, "Ok, I'll just call your district manager and see what he has to say about it."
I pepper sprayed a game stop employee and got banned from there. BECAUSE SONIC'S ARMS ARE NOT BLUE
You're joking right?
Ok Chris, I love you.
wow your a jerk,they don't do the box art you idiot
I love when people don't get it and don't know who Chris Chan is.
5327indarkness SONIC'S ARMS ARE YELLOW NOT BLUE!!!
How to grow on youtube in 3 steps
1. dont ask for subscribers at the start of the video
2. Dont play cod play overwatch or csgo
3. GTFO of my recommended videos
Seem about right
Wait
If he's out of your recommended he'll grow slower
Also if that was sarcasm then it was hard to tell so you might want to work on that :)
Carter Rowe no i just was salty that this was in my recommended and expressed my dismay
Wisdom from the guy that has 24 subs.
I have 24 subs? Holy shit
The legality is this: if an employee willingly sells a product to someone whom intends to give said product to someone whom is under the legal age, the employee can be fired from his job, hit with fines by the state, and potentially sent to jail or prison.
Your best bet here is to just not say what the purchase is for, or you could flat out lie to them. If the employees are in the dark, they are protected from your illicit activities.
Call of Duty Ghosts described as "boots on the ground." It DID have a part in space.
multiplayer, nobody cares about campaign lol
+Aaron Won One I agree
It was in space but it actually had modern day utilities
+Zero a men
black ops 2 is still better i dont care if it was the last game that had boots on the ground it is still terrible it looks bad the game looks to dark and it just sucks
Real gamers don't pre order they wait 4 reviews!
:)
I don't pre order, I wait until the game isn't 60 dollars and the price drops down a bit. (I'm a gamer on a budget)
idk, if the pre order goodies are sweet enough and at the right price, its worth it. but there better be some statues and shit that come with it. lol
THIS!
You're an idiot. What about pre-order bonuses for certain franchise fans?
I was expecting Dragons to come out of that arrow everytime

+Isaac JUSTICE RAINS FROM ABOVE! LOL
my brother used to do this all the time. he was like 13 or 14 and got our dad to buy m rated games and they didn't say anything they just said "excuse me but you have an m rated game in the cart, are you aware of that?" and he never got banned
I've been permanently banned from my local library for nearly 10 years. To this day if I try to get a library card my name shows up as banned. Ahh the highschool days
employees at the gamestop by me are really nice i just hate it wen u walk in the store and they spam u with "u wanna buy this this and this??" no dude just let me look around
thats their job tho lmao
lol i understand that it just gets on my nerves. and even wen i say im good sometimes they come back
in retail your managers kinda push you to do that kind of stuff. its all about effort. if they didnt talk to you at all it would kinda be like they aint doin shit
Alyers i see. so uve probly done retail huh?
"But would you like to insure that for just a couple more dollars?"
My story is: I was minor (and I'm still) and I wanted to buy Bo3 but there was no one above 17 with me. The guy refused to sell the game to me, so I said:"Then can I buy 4 playstation 20$ cards"(So I could buy the digital version). He knew what I was up to, but I had the right to buy playstation cards, so he couldn't refuse to sell me the cards. He looked so pissed when I said that. He gave me my cards with a very pissed look on his face while I had the "success kid meme" look.
Ha
+Heart of Justice wtf m8
Thats actually smart.
Me too, I usually buy games online
he got mad at you because they don' make money off game cards lol, you snooze you lose fail stop.
In my experience, it really depends on the person managing the store. At my main GameStop, there's this really nice guy who's had my parents approval once for the Last of Us and I've never had a problem since. I've gotten my hands on Metal Gear Solid V, Assassins Creed, Deus Ex Mankind Divided, and the list goes on. I'm not hiding anything from my parents. Our schedules just don't align so I have to go by myself.
My local GameStop has some great employees but their prices are outrageous they still sell CoD Ghosts for $30 lol
...Giving GAMES to minors is like dealing drugs? Yeah...sure. I'm as anti-drug as humanly possible and I still don't see the correlation.
It's the "guns kill people" mentality. Every time there's a mass shooting or like tragedy (which is tragic, especially given yesterday) the media is usually quick to blame video games as the cause with little to no evidence.
Unix One Well, Mexico's Game Market < US Game Market. Which country has more murder?
HM, MAYBE THERE'S SOMETHING MORE IMPORTANT WE NEED TO BE FIGHTING AGAINST(Due to Trump supporters, let me clarify that I mean drugs and not Mexicans).
Drugs can be good. Weed and Destiny is a great combination.
CDM_Enigma
You're talking to the wrong person about pro-drug crap.
ProbeVoyages Agreed. The drug trade needs to be stopped, but as someone who supports neither candidate I can tell you a giant wall isn't anywhere close to the answer.
once i farted at gamestop so that's weird
Comedy gold
Every gamestop ever smells like shit and the people that go there are mostly retarded
+Aric A Struthers (Ash) lol yeah
Steam ftw
+Aric A Struthers (Ash) yeah just buy digital edition
I got banned today for saying "this is bullshit" after they had no NES Mini's, but my anger was a result of them opening a hour earlier than they normally do and given no notice they were gonna do that.
great story man, I know it's a different situation but I work in a dispensary, and I have a legal obligation to kick someone out if they say they are buying for someone else, but buying weed legally and video games are two different things just in the future don't tell the man checking ids more information than he needs to know
Buying M rated game for minors is the same as drug dealing? I guess they should shut down gamestop and put all the employees in jail then. Fucking morons.
Yeah buying kittens will now be considered cereal killing (that was sarcasim)
+Piplup 4 President call jacksfilms... your... grammar... SUCKS!!!
Drugs : Hurt you, make you go crazy , addicting
Video games : Make you less bored so there is no complaining for your parents, save food ( gamers can't eat during gaming ) , Parents wont have to care what you're doing, addicting.
Pros and Cons
Fun Fact: The ESRB is not a government run organization, therefore there is no law that states that you must be 17 to purchase a rated M game. It is just usually a company policy, a bad one at that.
The government doesnt run tobacco or alcohol companies either
+xGettinxMoneyx ATF is government ran.
ATF is a federal agency. That's why the ATF has a .gov web address (ATF.gov)
Seriously? Google Waco Texas. LoL Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms
Just said the same thing. Should have scrolled down first. LoL It's the same with movie ratings although in some states it is possible to be charged with providing "obscene material" to a minor for allowing a minor admittance to an NC17 rated film.
If your town is anything like Austin, you can just walk across the street to the next closest Gamestop.
I avoided Gamestop for about half a year after they fucking sold MY Super Smash Bros 3DS pre-order.
I had a physical copy pre-ordered, I went to get mine ,and they were sold out.
Fucking HELL were my aunt and I pissed. I mean they offered to ship the game to me with no extra fees but, man were we mad.
I would've said " I'm a youtuber and I'm hosting a giveaway"
smartest thing I heard in a while
dude that is actually the greatest idea I have ever heard!! :D
yeah but he could get away with the games
fck I just wanted to write this down....
What do you do if they ask for your channel?
when i turned 17 i went to gamestop to buy my first rated M game in person and they didnt even card me and I was so disappointed.
When I turned 21 I bought Alcohol at a liquor store, and they didn't even card me
When I turned 13 I broke a rule at a trampoline park and I didn't even get in trouble the funny thing is my 13 th birthday way 2 weeks ago
I'm 20 and was carded at best buy when I bought Deadpool
+Liz the Lizard I never got card me for Devil May Cry 3 back in 2005. I was 14 or 15 at the time.
+Phil Hartmann fail. Best buy dont card ever. U played yourself b.
film, TV and game ratings are VOLUNTARY INDUSTRY GUIDELINES. There are no laws ENFORCING game, TV or film ratings. All rules enforced at a theater or retailer are company policies. In the case of video game or TV, there is not even a ratings board and ratings are SELF APPLIED BY THE PRODUCERS.
something like this happpened at the mall i was at. i was sitting having coffee with some friends. and we got in shit for not spending all our money in the shoops. i got a life time ban for loitering. i was back the next week, and the head security apologized and told me they fired the guy.
how is that getting banned....this story is stupid
You read the tittle, you clicked the video and you watched it. He knows what "ban" means because at nearly the end he said "banned or kicked out." The tittle was just clickbait and you fell for it.
you seem aggravated
You are stupid
Banned from a specific Gamestop store for an hour or something. And yes, it’s stupid clickbait. As if the all-caps wasn’t a dead giveaway.
I'll die laughing if they have commercials against buying M-rated games for minors like they do with alcohol and tobacco.
When I was younger, probably 2003 or 2004 when Gamestop was EB Games, I was browsing and saw guides for some videogames and saw one for a game I was playing. I was writing down some cheat codes for the game since the guide was like $15 and was like 11 or 12 years old. I wrote like three or four codes and I guess the manager comes out and saw me. He says "writing the codes is like stealing and I'm going to have to ask you to leave." I was baffled. It's not like I was transcribing the whole guide. But I was like whatever since I got the codes I really wanted anyway.
Sucks for u eb games is still where I am. For some reason GameStop sucks compared to eb games
Well in most places eb games simply turned into gamestops when they merged. Or like a lot around my area simply shut down.
+Kensung no be games in America closed down but GameStop in canada closed down
managers like that are jerks
ishdeep grewal Just look it up. Gamestop and eb games merged.
I worked at an EB Games from the mid 90's until they were bought by Gamestop, maybe 2004 or 5. I don't think we ever enforced ESRB ratings. I remember a pissed off mom getting onto our manager for selling a copy of GTA 3 to her 12 year old. He just told her, "Those ratings are only suggestions ma'am, its not a law"
I once had someone say I needed a parent with me to buy the game, I looked at them funny, chuckled and I was "I'm over 18" the girl started apologizing like crazy and I said "hey no problem, it's a compliment". This is why I can't shave my facial hair, I look like I'm 13 or 14 when I do (and I'm 25)
it is not a legal issue, there is no lae, it is store policy, they were being stupid
Source?
+Fake Emotion U.S Law also states cows cannot jump over the moon, you are making things up, this is not a legal issue, it is store policy.
+Fake Emotion The Supreme Court ruled the exact opposite of what you're claiming. See: Brown v. Entertainment Merchants Association.
Actually no, the Surpreme Court ruled that games were a constitutionally protected form of expression and laws restricting their sale were unconstitutional. See Brown V Entertainment Merchants Association/Entertainment.
Gamestop is entirely in their rights to refuse your business and they are legally allowed to card you but they have never been legally required and no US law was broken.
Source: www.esrb.org/ratings/faq.aspx#24 as well as 4 years as a manager of a small video game retailer.
+SSPsGoku are you kidding me?.....how can you deny someone the sale of a product because you jokingly stated "guess I got alot of friends" no merchant can deny the sale of product to anyone willing to purchase it. that's like go into a liquor store and purchase a ton of and they say "wow you sure are buying alot of beer" and then I say "yeah, I'm throwing a party" and then they go "oh well it must be full of underaged kids! I'm not selling you this beer. get out of my store!" like wtf???!!! that's a violation of my rights as an American citizen.....not to mention that's hearsay.......if a cop was present in my beer scenario. I guarantee you the cop would ask the merchant "what proof do you have that the party he's throwing is for minors?".......
I got a gamestop ad right before this vid 😂
+adam young Owl city
+adam young That's because of the keyword "Gamestop", but that is still funny XD
im going to gamestop while watching this
same
LOCE theat and yes he wasnt really banned
Having learned of the pending release of Atari's Ghostbusters (2009) and pre-ordered it 18 months in advance. The release day came and Gamestop sold off my copy as well as gave away my pre-order swag.
They're preventing the possibility of a dozen parents coming back causing them problems trying to return it because some kid went behind the parents' back. Not to mention people try to scam money out of businesses by buying large amounts of an item (or a large ticket priced item) and returning them. Moreso if they're using gift cards, trying to confuse the clerk and end up with more money than they were supposed to get. One example, you could use Rogers gift cards to pay your bills until one guy started making fake gift cards to get his services for free. The "buying large stocks to resell" doesn't matter unless said items are on sale. And even then your company is still making money.
Sometimes it's better for them to refuse business because they either wouldn't keep that money anyway (parents return the copies) or deterring a bunch of potential customers (because they couldn't refund it, if they throw out their receipt) just for one customer. They can tell when something's going to bite them in the ass and steered clear of it.
This is sooooo fricken funny, good work and great gameplay.
He said its the same thing as selling drugs to minors... WTF I'm 15 and I go to GameStop and get M rated games they don't give a fuck
really thats weird. mine always ask for id if the game is m rated
+ninecool11 really ? Dam only time they asked for ID was when I got gta 5 but most of the time they don't care
it really depends on the person tbh
+pizza1234able what do you mean ?
certain people is nicer than others, or just lazy etc things happen with other certain people, maybe that gameston dont like the ask id or something
the store was like you can not buy this for a minor but parents buy games for their kids when the kids are not there
but that is probably dif
I went to game stop this one time to buy terraria for 3ds, I asked the cashier if he had it and he said that no stores nearby sell it anymore, and the only store that sold it was a gamestop 40 minutes away from my house. my aunt was about to go to work and she didn't have the time to take me there. about a week later my sister and nieces went shopping and om the way home we passed a Walmart, which was less than 10 minutes away from my house. I went in and I saw terraria for 3ds, I bought it and decided not to listen to the gamestop cashier anymore
Gamestop deserves to be given shit.
Not bad for a lowly cod player.
topkek
Uhm...... GameStop is auctually a good store, cheap game, and good service.... Most people just botch about it
If by "cheap game" you mean they buy about 40 games off of you for five dollars then yeah
+Nope Yep You have a point, gamestop does have a bad buying/selling ratio, but it's not as bad as You think. when they buy a game for $5 and sell it for $20, You have to incorporate the fact that it takes up space, they don't have a definite time or even possibility of a return, and that grocery stores and every other store to sell something will make a profit, probably upwards of 100/150%
+BRENT HANNON A disk does not take up 15$ of space, and if they were worried about space, then they wouldn't haphazardly toss them into a Used Game bin and they would organize them. The real reason they buy so low and sell so high is because they have no competition so they set the prices.
Holy what a cringey story. Fyi, no business has to sell you anything bud.
Well it depends. If all copies were paid for via pre-order. You are technically not buying the games when you go to pick them up you are simply picking them up as you already purchased the items.
boi
lol I know eh... well considering your friends waited outside because they clearly weren't of age, you WERE buying underagers games... like why couldn't your cousin just buy MW2 himself instead of giving you the money? Oh wait, you WERE buying them cause he's underage. you may not like it but whatever like the other guy said, they don't have to sell you and can deny you for whatever reason they plesae.
not even sure why this video showed up in my Recommended list.
+Steven Tyler Once he pays for a good it is no longer in the stores possession, thus they are forced to give him his item by law. There is no law stating that you can't buy rated M games for a minor, and technically they had the consent of an adult.
What's the point of the business then if not to sell things
that sucks for the USA...
legal drinking age in USA: 21 yrs old
Legal drinking age in Canada: 18 or 19 yrs old
The stupidest thing Gamestop employers told me was. One day when i was 15 i went to Gamestop to buy the new map(At that time) Origins from Black ops 2, guess what they tell me when i wanted to buy a fucking DLC, A FUCKING DLC!!!, they tell me "The DLC is rated M For mature, you can't buy this" I told them "If i have the game, what is the point to not selling me the DLC which is part of the game i actually have, It does not make sense!!!" They kept and kept telling me the same thing until i go home really pissed off.
Not even banned , it's hard to even call it "kicked out"
+sYesh ? lol
+sYesh LMAO MY GOD INTRO 1 😂😂😂 DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE
+Leos Productions Gaming HD (Elder Leos) I know. Talk about click bait title.
+Rockymann27 aymen
I Agree
"Don't do this" *situation 95% of people will never be in*
Is it weird that when I went to pick up the taken king like 9 months ago, there was a little kid screaming at me to see which is the coolest sky landers figurine while he was squeezing my arm like a maniac?
EVERY single gamestop in Puerto Rico closed. It's like a fucking nightmare I'm living
Financial crisis is tough.
I feel really bad for you
Wait I haven't been watching the news Wut financial crisis
fireflame gaming Since the last deacde I think. Due to slow economic growth and recession the government took massive loans to cover their costs. As for last year they couldn't pay back.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
so you got "banned" for a few hours....
More like kicked out
I love how he called it getting banned. Like lmao you just got kicked out nobody cares mate everybody gets kicked out of stores all the time.
*****
no shit sherlock. i was commenting on his cheap clickbait title.
so he lies? this is click bait crap.
*****
like how you give a fuck to come here and trash talk to a random commenter on youtube youve never met before? fucking hypocrite.
im just surprised they actually enforce the age requirement, i bought m rated games when i was 12 without an adult
It's a rare case, they usually only do it when management is watching, because for the most part it doesn't make a difference, they are customers anyway.
I don't know what they are trying to prove though, it's not like game stop is a kid's store or anything. I'd be more concerned about selling cigarettes and alchohol to minors, rather than a video game.
lol ikr gamestop is insane at times 😂
When I was 15 I bought a yaoi manga that was rated M(18 and up).
I was a secret shopper once when I was 13 and I bought a rated-M game from Toys R Us... they failed.
im 20 and they still ask me to show id XD
Recently I tried to buy a game at GameStop that was rated M. I'm 20 years old, my girlfriend is 18. Girlfriend (standing to the side, and behind me a bit) puts the game on the counter. I pull out my credit card. Cashier begins ringing me up. Asks me for an ID. I show my ID, and she says "no no no, I need to see HER ID." I say, "why? She's not even part of this transaction". Wouldn't have been a problem if it weren't for her wallet with her ID was in my car. Cashier says "she put the games on the counter, so she's buying them." I say "No. This is me. This is my credit card. Here's my ID. Sell me games." Cashier says "no, she handed me the games so she's buying them." I say "Okay, so can I walk out of this store, come back in, and put them on the counter myself because I'm a grown ass man and this is ridiculous." She says "Nope." I leave store. Never returned.
No no. I'm an assistant manager at my local GameStop. The only reason why they said you couldn't buy it, is because of fraud. When people buy multiple copies of the game, it's required of us to assume that they're going to be copying and distributing it illegally. If you are old enough to buy a game, you can buy it for whoever the hell you want. Parents can buy gta 5 for their 6 year old just as long as they say it's okay. It's just buying 13 of the same game, is considered a big no no in our stores.
Okay this is really stupid. Why would you preorder games for 13 people....they have parents or friends they could borrow from. I get that you were 17 but come on...who gets used like that...?
Although I agree that ESRB is very pretentious and lame, people shouldn't take it so seriously. Like they rate an anime boobies fighting game like Senran Kagura rated T, but Phoenix Wright Duel Destinies gets rated M? They're both cartoon games. You're telling me that anyone can look at tits but only people 17+ and ID can look at animated fake blood...???
wow maybe he should look into why they wouldnt sell to him. heres a quicky. if he got caught (selling to a minor)and they trased it to that store 1 they can be fined. 2 all games from that developer. i know it sucked for him but 15 game sells are not worth it.
He probably got paid for his services.
+Sassykittenpie9597
Erm... Senran Kagura Estival Versus is rated M... Pretty sure Shinovi Versus was too... Burst was T, but then Deep Crimson was back to M... Just saying.
+Sassykittenpie9597 Usually all the stuff parents care about is the lascivious stuff. Fucked up as it is...
Nice story you just got a new subscriber!
Thanks!
I subbed great story and Aron I agree.
I agree, good story
I also just subscribed to you
^^^squeakers
Honestly if that was me, and only on principle. After telling them it's not a legal issue and they have zero evidence, they don't know my life, my income, anything. I would have said "You have two options right now. Either give me what I legally purchased or I call the police and they will force you. Your choice."
Its also possible that they thought you were buying them to reselling. Many stores don't like people buying large quantities in order to resell them online or elsewhere.
Sorry dude but you were in the wrong here, while it's not exactly like selling drugs or alcohol to miners it is still kind of like that. There needs to be consent from someone in there family (at the least) to get a M rated game for someone 16 or younger.
+Samson Macri i agree it makes us who are of age look bad
+Cthulhu by that logic there should be no penalty for killing someone, " what it's a free country, I can do whatevere I want."
no, while it is a free country there are still laws, and you shouldn't break them for a reason like, "my friends didn't want there parents there."
Samson Macri what does penalty for killing someone have anything to with buying a fucking game for a minor? it's a god damn video game, not meth or vodka
+Cthulhu did you even read the beginning of my comment, I said "by that logic" ...never mind
what matters is that it's illeagal to buy something for a miner that they couldn't buy themselves, in this case it could have been solved by there parents being there to help them pre-order it, and the shop could probly have gotten a pretty hefty fine if they had let it happen.
Cthulhu So the idiot rout?
I went into GameStop and by mistake my wife and I accidentally switched our IDs bc I was holding all our cards and IDs when we went to Comic Con the day before. Anyway I'm 32 and while I didn't have my driver's licence, I had my concealed carry permit with my picture, birthday and address on an ID... nope wouldn't take it. I had my VA benefits card that allows me to get free medical care at any VA hospital, again it has my birthday and picture on it... nope isn't a valid ID. So I hand him my fucking GameStop credit card, power up rewards card and 3 other credit cards all with my name on them... nope wouldn't take it.
I'm like "Dude... I'm fucking 32, I have an ID that says I've served in the military, another ID that says I can carry a fucking loaded hand gun concealed legally, both of which have my picture and birthday, one has the same address u have on file and u won't let me buy Yakuza Dead Souls?"
"That's exactly what I'm telling u. U need a driver's license, state ID, or a high school or college ID... a VALID ID."
"My wife's old college ID doesn't have her fucking age on it! Are u serious!? This concealed carry weapons permit is one of the hardest permits anyone can get me you're saying it isn't a valid ID when the police and military recognize this as a valid ID?"
At that time I was getting quite upset. The employee told me I had to leave or he was calling security since I started cursing. I left and the teenager who was in there walked out and asked if I bought him some cigarettes, he'd buy me the game. I'm like u can buy this game for me but u can't cigarettes? Get the fuck outta here. I normally wouldn't care and would buy a kid some smokes. Hell, I did the same thing at his age but it was just the icing on top of the cake at that particular moment.
Moral of the story is military ID, VA benefits cards, concealed carry permit, and credit cards won't prove to GameStop your age but a college ID will. I graduated college at age 19 BTW. Fucking ridiculous...
Damn dude. Sucks for you! I only go to Gamestop for them sexy Steam Gift Cards.
thats just ridiculous, why do people have to be so uptight when they work at gamestop?? They sell video games but act like they sell weapons or something lol
lolololololololololololol
I would have told him to call security so they can laugh at him. Also don't you have to be 18 to own a weapon and have a license for it? Is that guy mental?
but it's hard to FAKE a concealed carry permit. that's the point. it had his age and every required bit of ID info on it. On top of that, concealed carry means you can carry a weapon without showing you have it on you. It's a bit more intensive than a simple weapon permit.
"They're scratch-free, hard-copy backups".
When there was a GS and a blockbuster games resell area I ran a "scheme" where I bought one stores' under-priced game to sell back to to the higher paying resell one 20-30+games were always both under-priced at one and higher-priced at another, and vice-versa a lot of times. Lasted about 2 months. I started with 50$, ended up getting like 470$. Then I was banned in both stores, in a few cities area for a while just on sight.
Funny thing is, one of the store managers who was an acquaintance and worked at another GS in a mall nearby, was the one who told me about it. She said a quite a few people where doing it at the time and it'd be a good way to get a couple games. I took it a bit farther but not tooooo far haha. Now I don't play games on consoles anymore and it makes it even funnier.
How awkward would it be to walk into a store you were banned to before? "Sup brah! I'm that guy that you kicked out like two weeks ago!"
*hears temporary ban* wow good luck growing you channel
Thanks! Im averaging 100 to 200 subscribers a day!
salt
dang! I never heard of getting banned from gamestop! well , guess we as customers should be more careful about that.
Aaron Won One yayyyy 100 - 200 more people to disappoint congrats
+PSI Pontoni you disappointed 2 people.
your parents.
wait they were calling him out for buying m rated games for minors, when parents technically do that all the time
Its total bullshit but the law says you have to be 21 or over for buying a minors......total fucking bullshit
Itbis
It is
Because it's a bullshit story
Some laws are effing atrocious
I love how he(employee ) said it was " like giving alcohol to minors ) even though it was a GAME wow some employee there LOL
I agree with you. if someone is 17 or older they should be able to buy as many games as they want. also, they (reasonably, considering you had done it many times before, but still) automatically assumed that your "friends" you were getting them for were minors. how did they know you weren't just being a cool dude and getting it for your friends so they can all save the effort?
That was an interesting story, but disliked for clickbaiting, misleading to an extent, and begging too blatantly for subscribers.
Chill out
I ain't mad, dudes. I'm giving constructive criticism.
+King Critic oh ok I gotcha
+King Critic nothing is missleding
Ali Asfoor The very title is misleading. He didn't actually get banned.
shoulda said it was a youtube giveaway
That's what I was thinking. Even though he didn't have to give them douche bags a reason.
Just was going to comment that
+Tyler429FV should have called corporate
+Killahfam69 I would've told them it was your store and your name.
+Tyler429FV lol they would have believed you too
Hey Guys, old GameStop employee here. It seems that everyone is only half correct in there knowledge of laws and store policies that are being discussed in the comments. Allow me to explain the best I can:
1) It is not illegal to sell a M rated game to a minor. It is illegal to sell rated A games, but that's not the issue here. It IS, however, against store policy to sell M rated games to minors without permission from a legal guardian. Though the clerk at the counter over exaggerated (about the alcohol thing), if the sale would have come back to them in some way, people would be fired and fined for breaking the contract one signs in order to work in a place like that. Employees need permission from guardians for a M rated game to be purchased for a minor. Guardian mean the same thing it does on a drivers permit. Not your older brother, not your cousin, not the guy you play tonsil hockey with after gym class, a LEGAL guardian. It is true that one can buy a game with said under age individual in company, however, the customer of age has to be the one to purchase it and purchase it for himself. If the staff feels that is not the case and you are buying for a minor, they have the right to protect their job. Following point below \/\/\/\/
2) Depending on state or other regional regulations a store's management has the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason. Though reasoning doesn't have to be given, really any grounds for endangerment of employees or anything that would disturb/hinder normal business are perfectly reasonable situations.
3) Most if not all GameStops have a pre-order limit, so this very thing doesn't happen. So having 13 reserves is quite odd. That's it... no real explanation there, I just find it odd that they allowed you to reserve so many in the first place. If one needed games for a give away or charity, then they would need to go through the distributor, or at least talk to the manager or district manager to allow it.
4)These games he had pre-ordered, are not finalized transactions, meaning even though he paid what sounds to be full price for each reserve, they are just that, a reserve. Money down, a place holder. It is the reason that an old reservation can be returned after months of just sitting there. Unlike the policies revolving a game once it is open. Or even if it wasn't, there is a finite time in which you can get a full refund after the game is actually purchased. So these were not returns, these were cancels. Which for the record hurt the individual and the store as a whole.
and Finally...
5) Listen guys, I'm not trying to defend GameStop (at least not on purpose) these are rules and policies that the company has set up to protect themselves from sue happy people, and people that exploit the business. And I can't blame the employee just trying to protect their livelihood, can you? Call of Duty nights are one of the biggest releases nights for GameStop, who knows who from Corporate will be there. When I worked there I was pretty strict on the rules, because they are there for a reason. Do you think companies just make them to piss people off? The employees don't have it easy there because of those same rules. You can't imagine what kind of people come in, let alone the quotas they have to fill so they don't get let go. It's stressful! I was threatened physical harm multiple times, for just talking about the rules. We hadn't even come close to the transaction. In short (well actually long if you actually read all this) don't try and work around or break the policies and rules. At any establishment really. Do you really want to be known as "that guy"? Don't be "that guy". Nobody likes him.
Omg first video I've watched on your channel and I already love your content
why would they complain? They're making money.....
There is a chance that the parents could sue GameStop for selling the game to minors and the could get fired.
That's a VERY slim chance considering the store didn't sell to any minors, an of-age person bought all the games and gave them to others. Also if they DID sue, they would never win, for the reason I stated above.
+Parker Ballew it wouldn't hold up in court they would just deny all knowledge that the game was being purchased and distributed to minors.
well technically they're selling it to a 17 year old who got the game for minors, so it isn't GameStops fault
Parker, They wouldn't sue. It costs money to get lawyers and stuff, plus takes a while. Even if they sued they couldn't get anything, those gamestop employees sold the game to someone of age. If anything the parents would go raging at the workers and ask for a full refund (which they'd only get used price refund). lol
I love how you are aloud to buy 18+ Movies without question but when you try buy 18+ games its a big no.
+Star Pit No store sell 18+ games in the US.
+cvc true, it's 17+.
cvc In the UK they do ^-^
Star Pit Yeah but in North America it's 17+. Mostly 18+ = games like manhunt, or porn.
Trent Bradley Cool.
I was sixteen turning seventeen the next day and it was 11:59... Can't go back to that GameStop.
I have a story about Gamestop.One time,I was at the cash register and I was trading in two of my very old games,Lego Pirates of the Carribean and Sonic the Hedgehog.So what happened is that the cashier gave me one of the membership cards,keep in mind I was only 13 at the time and you have to be at least 16 to get one.So he told me to sign the credit card scanner thing,like the screen.Then he gave me the card and he was like,"You're a little too young for this but I trust you to use it well and buy games and stuff..."I told him Thank you,but in my mind I was like"Dang!He gave me one of these!I'm not even old enough!Whatever..." And right now I'm 14 and I still own it and use the card to buy games for less and other things...
i say age ratings are reccomendations
exactly
I disagree
I mean its not illegal to disobey them soooo they are reccomendations
They are recommendations but they help the industry have something to fall back on to say "Hey, it's right on the box, you don't want your kid buying it don't let them get below X rating." As long as it functions there is a good argument against forming a governmental ratings board, and thus a good way to prevent official censorship. If it doesn't work because of people bypassing the ratings system, you could start to see government agencies stepping in, codifying it in law, and adding actual punishments for things like the video creator was describing.
It's one of those little things that if it is circumvented here and there, no big deal. But if it started to become a problem, it can snowball into much bigger issues.
the U.S. supreme court has already stepped in an ruled against any law preventing the sale of any game to minors
You can buy whatever tf u want at gamestop aslong as your seem a decent mature level. I was buying M rated games since I was around 14
At my local gamestop*
My boy what?? It's illegal in the same sense that buying r rated movies for kids is illegal. They can go to court for that lmao
+Bob Smith meh some people don't care. Like a cashier selling cigarets to a kid.
+Bob Smith My boy unless your in a yuppie peckerwoods ass neighborhood nobody cares about all that silly shit
+xGettinxMoneyx idc I'm just saying its illegal still
I'm 35 years old and Gamestop still cards me. I think it's hilarious; a pack of smokes, a bottle of jack at the store, nothing happens, I get my purchase just fine. But I bring Witcher 3 up to the Gamestop counter and apparently I look like a 15 year old to them, lol.
not a huge call of Duty fan, but I like this style of content. would be cool to hear more stories over game play. subbed
In Poland you can't got kicked from store :*
in soviet russia, customer kicks store out......
***** 10/10 XD
+Numbskill
They can't stop memes. 😑
+Joshua Fogg No one..... can stop memes.
Embrace the dank.
YOU CANT FIGHT THE HOMESTUCK RUSSIA
"It's the same thing as selling drugs on the streets to minors" wtf Dude, it's a game, chill.
dude I worked in retail they don't give a damn about losing your business your money that means nothing to them. They likely were just annoyed they had to take time out of their schedule to deal with you.
I traded in a Shrek game at GameStop once with a mixtape inside. Let's just say, they like me now.
This Is Actually An Awesome Story.

I was wondering what you were playing then i saw the bottom left wtf has zombies become lol
Once a worker told me that they didn't sell $20 PSN currency cards and that they never existed. So I told him I was going to go to the pharmacy and buy one, and BAM! $20 currency card.
i find this really funny cause something like this also happened to me. i didn't get banned but when i was your age i did preordered all my friends games for them because they were also under age. i had like 12 GTA's and saintsrow preordered. and when i went back to gamestop i preordered another GTA game. the lady told me "i hope your not here buying games for your little friends cause thats against rules here" i told her that was confidential. she said "confidential?" i said confidentiality none of your damn business lady. she STFU and proceeded with my purchase lol. she was pissed cause i embarrassed her in from of other customers but i didn't care. no clerk is going to tell me how to spend my damn money.
You think a few hundred bucks is a huge hit to their business? Lmao
Exactly what I was thinking lol
It doesn't hurt gamestop as a whole but it hurts the store.
+Faze Optic jumper duh...tf
+Faze Optic jumper lerp*
It does when the district manager sees 13 refunded games in one day.
I guess my mom bought alcohol for me when I was 12 because that's when I got Halo 4
Bruh me too home slice
my mom got me call of duty 4 when I was 8 so I have been getting alcohol for a while
I was literally able to buy rated M games since I was 15. It wasn't gamestop and the place I buy my games are cheaper than gamestop. It saves me alot of money.
I've bought M rated games since I was fourteen without any problems. It's a mix of me looking a little older than I am, smooth talking, and retailers that just don't give a shit. It's all about the way you act.
So buying multiple versions of a M rated game is the equivalent of giving somebody alcohol who isn't of legal age. makes total sense to me
It's not equivalent, but the two actions are similar.
Not really, if I give a minor 2 beers they will be twice as drunk, but 2 copies of a game just means that he has multiple extra frisbees.
It would be like showing someone multiple prints of a art piece somehow was the same as looking at the one.
The content of the extra copies is identical to all other copies. so it's not going to hurt him to have them.
This is more to help control fencing.
Aisha Kegawa The actions are similar in just one way: you are allowing someone to access something they weren't supposed to.
After that, they are completely different things.
Yeah but the lowest age he said was 14
Aisha Kegawa Yes. The only similarity the two actions have is that one person is providing something to someone who couldn't get it themself.
The employees were being stupid.
Word of advice: if you tell people to subscribe before you even discuss the content of the video, it makes you look bad.
I don't get it. Are you talking about the video I posted--like you said--SEVEN YEARS ago? Also, I'm just speaking the truth here. It DOES make you look bad; the overwhelming majority, viewer or creator, would agree. Not once did I bash him, and you're calling me an arrogant prick?
+Colonel_Shrek Word of Advice: Don't be like this guy. It makes you seem like a butt hurt fanboy.
+Ridley217 oh I've earned it.... Coming up on a complete year of daily uploads... Talk to me about earning it... And I've asked for people to subscribe on like 5 videos out of the 500+...
Never be afraid to call corporate.
There is no question of "legal age". There is no actual law stating you must be 17 years of age to purchase a game because the manufacturers have rated it as "M" for mature. It is the same as the different rating in movies, it is just store policies.
