Actually, this one isn't so much a lie as employee stupidity. I stopped by Gamestop yesterday to ask about Luigi's Mansion. I told the girl that Dec 31 was likely a holder date, she looked up in her computer the date and said with some authority no, that's the right date for Luigi's Mansion 3. I said no your wrong, that's just a holder date, while they decide. If you look you'll notice dozens of games with the same Dec 31st date. I had pre-paid for the Fire Emblem at Gamestop for the premium I forgot doing so and bought two game passes. Since there were only 3 triple-A titles I wanted before this year was out, Fire Emblem, Links Awakening, Luigi's Mansion, I wanted to know I could purchase LM with the Gamepass with the game pass. She said she couldn't confirm, is I canceled my prepaid and downloaded the prepaid game. NOTE: I noticed the option to buy the additional content separately disappeared as soon as I bought the game. Now the only option available is to buy the bundle, no mention of being able to buy it separately.
The point being, the clerk was dumb enough to not realize that Dec 31st was a holder date and insisted that was a release date. Either she just started there or was destined to be stupid for life. I hope for her sake it isn't the latter. It does annoy me that these wet-behind-the-ears kids working these places 'know' things that they really don't. I went to tech school more than 23 years ago, I worked at Gamestop/Babbages/ Software Etc as they were known then, there's a very good chance she was still in diapers when I was working there. It just seems like each generation becomes dumber by the year. I blame it on dependance on the net, rather than thinking for themselves.
Wisdom is knowing as we age, that the older we become, we realize the less we know, (& the more we thought we knew).
how was it said? It's not I forgetting that scares me, it's what I recall incorrectly that really scares me (very rough quote-Mark Twain)
