I rarely shop at GameStop, but sometimes I forget why that is and wander in, false hopes high, only to be quickly reminded of how much they hate games and the people who play them. I did that at the mall this weekend, and almost bought a "new" game until I was informed by the employee that the sticker-covered case with no disc inside that I picked up off the shelf was the one I was about to take home. I put the game back and decided to write a song to remind myself why I should never set foot in there again.
The mp3 can be downloaded here:ManIHateGameStop11.mp3 These are the lyrics: I'm pissed right now, right I- I feel sick If you know this store would you please sing along? Man I hate Gamestop They make me broke when they should be bankrupt Everytime I leave there I feel like I hate people and games both Sells "new" games post-opening Ugly stickers on everything Sold a game for free, bought it back for 10, feel used myself, then I do it again. I wanna take the "stop" back out of "games" Put those same games back into their cases Give employees more than 5-cent raises Wipe smug smiles off managers' faces Make a rule saying that reserved is reserved meaning not "accidentally" sold to people on the curb. Not bogus with the pre-order bonus meaning not pre-picked over by staff who don't know us. Keep new games sealed I might pay more; you don't shelve cases like a video store. There's three classes of game: new, used, rental: Renting games to staff? You must be mental. Man I hate Gamestop They make me broke when they should be bankrupt Everytime I leave there I feel like I hate people and games both Sells "new" games post-opening Ugly stickers on everything Sold a game for free, bought it back for 10, feel used myself, then I do it again. Man I hate Gamestop I hate those stickers, edge cards, fake gamers. Man I hate Gamestop Sad thing is the method actually works: a store ripping people off managed by jerks. That's how you make a multi-million dollar profit: Make people think they got no other option. But trading used games is so damn easy: type in a google search "gametz" Input the game's you'll trade and the one's you want and you can trade most 1-to-1 Wanna buy a new game that hasn't been scratched on? Try Wal-Mart, Target, Best Buy, or Amazon A company offending every element of what they sell? Forget the bottom line: go straight to hell. Man I hate Gamestop They make me broke when they should be bankrupt Everytime I leave there I feel like I hate people and games both Sells "new" games post-opening Ugly stickers on everything Sold a game for free, bought it back for 10, feel used myself, then I do it again. Man I hate Gamestop I hate those stickers, edge cards, fake gamers. Man I hate Gamestop Now, if everybody would please put their finger as high as they can, as high as they can, and repeat after me. No more business: No more profit. No more business: No more profit. Suck this! Suck this! Suck this! Suck this! No more business: No more profit. No more business: No more profit. GameStop games not. GameStop games not. Man I hate GameStop. I hate it! Aiight everybody, we gotta put the smack down a little bit. Man I hate Gamestop They make me broke when they should be bankrupt Everytime I leave there I feel like I hate people and games both Sells "new" games post-opening Ugly stickers on everything Sold a game for free, bought it back for 10 Feel used myself, won't do it again.
