I used to want to work at Gamestop back when I was a kid for summer jobs in the late 90s and early 2000s. But the moment when I got interviewed; after a while of having a very nice convo with the interviewing manager, and she had this to say that I still remember to this day nearly over two decades later: "Kid, I'll save you the trouble of being hired. As much as you want the job, you would LIKE to work here because you think it would be fun – but I guarantee you that I'll always try to get someone else because I KNOW the job would wreck you. You can do better than us." She was always nice to me whenever I drop by after school and during the weekends even after the interview. I could tell she was one of the few rare "nice" managers out there that actually gave a damn for her people.
"You can do better than us." It wasn't until the horror stories that started popping up from former employees from all over the US ranting out in YouTube many years later that I realized I had indeed dodged a very big bullet.
As for Kotaku, I hate them. They're shit writers who don't know the meaning journalistic integrity.
I’m honestly surprised they closed the store and didn’t just leave. Never forget the power of “I quit” and “fuck this place”.
Bad take
Considering the horror stories I've heard about how GameStop treats it's employees, this doesn't surprise me in the slightest
The only time GameStop will ever get my money if I buy a pre owned console.
Wait, I love my game stops i’d rather buy them there than Walmart. Where else can you buy used games cheap other than the pawnshop or eBay?
Why do I get the feeling these former employees subscribe to "Bare-Minimum Mondays"?
I will never forget when GameStop bought out ThinkGeek and turned it into another pop culture online shop instead of all the interesting oddball items they had….and then proceeded to shut it down in 2019.
Kotaku has no one to blame but themselves for getting blacklist from Nintendo
Really? This happened in my hometown and I didn’t know? Wow.
I think you guys are wrong. You're not currently searching for jobs, so you wouldn't know, but these places claim they are hiring but unless it's a high turnover job (like GameStop or fastfood) they are not actually hiring. They always take applications, they're not actually hiring.
Three words. Never trust GameStop.
1:08 I don’t think every employee quit. I bet my GameStop still open.
I stopped buying from Gamestop when they started doing the whole 'addons' thing and offered pennies for trade-ins. Trash company.
I used to work for GameStop. For multiple years. I believe it.😭
it makes sense in my head too.
The Brighton Game Stop was never a busy store compered to other places. Does Not help its sits out of the way of the main road in a corner surrounded by a Home Depot, A Hotel and a Medical Weight Loss. Brighton sit in the middle of a upper middle class cost of living. There is just no way that I could see them getting paid more money for what they bring in.
That's okay nobody goes there anyway. 😂😂😂
Camelot on YouTube has a lot of Game Stop content. he used to be a manager at Game Stop and he knows all the dirt on them
Kotaku was not black-listed simply for that piece about stealing nintendo games.
They also broke a Dia on their last interview with Nintendo.
So, naturally they are not welcome anymore.
Just remember, Gamestop killed Funcoland.
They quit on a great day and I feel nothing for whomever came in to cover. If they didn't know where they were working, now they know. 😂
People come to work there because of the love of games and the company treats them like family members they hate. Known quite a few good people who are no longer there.😢
Everytime you speculate all I see is Depp on the stand, smiling, asking if that's heresay. 😂
I still have fond memories of this ma and pa gaming shoppe in the late 1990s which sold Japanese video games and a few Tamagotchi knockoffs….can't remember what the name of it was, though. I got pretty "chummy" with some of the staff, they "chipped" my PS1 and Sega Saturn, respective, so that I could play both Japanese and North American games on the machines (which voided the warranties, but who cared?), and occasionally I'd bring them lunch from the Subway sandwich shoppe next door (back when Subway was decent, and they had a crab salad sandwich on their menu….basically, imitation crab meat and mayonnaise).
Now, GameStop…….You couldn't PAY me to walk into a GameStop.
And on the subject of The Legend of Zelda…..the ONLY game I ever played in the series was The Hyrule Fantasy (Full Japanese Title is Zelda no Densetsu: The Hyrule Fantasy) for the NES.
