Ashtear, do games w GameStop workers say its trade anything day will be a huge mess

Holy hell. I have some bad GameStop trade-in stories, and that’s just from taking in normal trade-ins. I can’t even imagine the clusterfuck this would be. I’d be calling in sick.

Well. I would have been interested in donating canned goods for charity, but not like this. This is a terrible idea.

I wish my grandmother were still alive. She’d be the type to go down there and play along with me.

“Hi, I’d like to trade in my 103 year old grandmother for $5.”

And then we both poker face our way through a gamestop employees reactions.

Dyskolos,

No live animals, sorry sir. NEXT!

GS execs really did a fat line and said “lol what if we subject our wagies to crackhead craigslist”

I can imagine some of the absolutely disgusting things that will be brought in from this. It’s already bad enough without a day to bring in “anything”. Too bad the executives in charge of these dumb ideas never have to put up with this crap.

Look out, Gamestop! About a billion scratched copies of FIFA are coming your way!

If I bring in some old Bad Dragon toys, am I gonna get more than $5? 🤔

If I bring in a box of rocks will I get credit for that.

It was a dumb idea from the beginning, trying to be an electronics pawn shop. Only the trade-ins are just as worthless as the game ones were.

SnotFlickerman,

The number of memestock bros who still hype Gamestop despite all the massive missteps they’ve made in the last few years is fucking unreal. They desperately meme “diamond hands” when they’re fucking bagholders.

The memestock thing started because people realized they could try to make a quick buck by betting against those who were shorting the stock. But the stock was being heavily shorted for a reason, GameStop is a dying business, one that likely would've gone bankrupt by now if the apes hadn't rushed to prop it up. Anyone who didn't cash out at the peak, anyone who seriously believes GameStop has a long-term future, is a sucker.

Mfw no gme_meltdown on Lemmy 😩

Stores are supposed to then take what they’ve received and donate it to a local charity. The workers have to figure out what charity they’ll partner with, and have to do the leg work of coordinating the donations themselves.

And let me guess, they’re either expected to do this in their free time or not miss their targets if they do it during work

Gonna be donated to goodwill

Coyote_sly,

Gonna be donated to the dumpster out back, more like.

I don’t work there and I also say it will be a huge mess

Marshezezz, do games w GameStop workers say its trade anything day will be a huge mess

Well the upper management wont have to deal with the mess so they’re fine with putting it all on the employees that they’ll be exploiting that day

MotoAsh,

Silly, they’re exploited every day.

… Though that day will be particularly… exploity…

Still haven’t found a game I want to play

Sounds like another console generation I’m skipping in that case. The middle of its lifespan means it’s on the way to life support in the near future. Never really went anywhere, which is a bit of a shame.

Good as developpers should optimize instead of just counting on more powerful hardware.

Seems likely given the overlap between generations.

PS1 - 1995 to 2006
PS2 - 2000 to 2013
PS3 - 2006 to 2017
PS4 - 2013 to 2025
PS5 - 2020 to 20???

So 11 years, 13, 11, 12…

PS5 is 5 years in. Don’t expect it to shut down until at least 2031, maybe even 2033.

Peffse,

I’m really curious if it’ll stick around even longer given how slow tech advancement has become.

jordanlund,
@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

The long generation got extended because of the 2008 financial crisis, if anything I’d have expected a covid extension on the PS4.

Goodeye8,

Or be surprised if it stuck around for the next 5 years. PS5 is already on the chopping block due to poor raytracing performance. The only thing keeping it around is most likely because Nvidia (and now also AMD) is too busy with AI to push graphics hardware.

Harkronis,

And it's undergone like one remodel already, 5 years in. So, it's going to get another remodel about 2 or so years down the road, signifying again how close to its end it would be. Then we'd get an announcement about another 2 years from Sony themselves about the PS6 and whatever else.

Then the PS5 will eventually cease.

theoneandonlyeggboi,

This is actually a really bad comparison.

You should be comparing it to when the next console is released.

jordanlund,
@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

They are still making PS4 games. Just because a new gen launches doesn’t mean the previous gen is cut off.

jacksilver,

Based on this we’d expect the PS6 by 2027, meaning there is only one year left for the Ps5 as “current Gen”.

Sure the “lifespan” of the console will be longer, but most people think of it in terms of the console being the current generation of consoles.

Blows my mind that Sony was supporting the PS1, 2 and 3 in 2006.
