Great question you posed there: How much DOES it cost to eliminate 40% of your potential buyers?

It's gotta be 8 figures.

Edit: And that's just consoles.

Well they are just cutting From bigger royalties, not paying a publisher to make an exclusive, so not quite that much.

I remember when Dark Souls broke a million or two million sales and people were ecstatic. Now people are jumping on their seats hoping this niche style of game sells millions upon millions of copies.

Surely a financial risk analyst would know the time value of arguing with random people about stupid shit nobody cares about.

Reminds me of when I was getting my iPad and some dude by the counter started on some walled garden monologue trying to convince me of the error of my ways and I just chuckled and swiped the card :patel

The funny part to me was the description of the clerk being supposedly blown away by his impressive videogame biz expertise when in reality he was probably just thinking why is this distinguished mentally-challenged fellow talking to me.

I'm nerdy as fuck but I contain it almost entirely to the internet.   No way in hell do I give two shits to get in some stupid argument with some dude working at a Gamestop or anywhere else for that matter about videogames.  I just don't give a damn.

I'd really like to see some of these "drop the mike and walk off the stage" kind of converstations these people supposedly have had with Gamestop employees.  Most of the time whenever I read them I think they're full of shit....or I want to believe they're full of shit.  I can't imagine how big of a dork you'd have to be to fucking argue about this kind of stupid shit with some random guy.  Social distinguished mentally-challenged fellows.

Agree with all of this. Those types of posts bother me a lot, mainly because the poster disregards somebody as a human being over something that brings them entertainment. I never treat people in retail with disdain, because they fucking work at a retail job.

Fake or not, seeking gamer cred on a forum over treating another human being with a thimble of respect is pitiful.

Videogames are still a pretty niche topic of discussion...at least "in-depth" discussion of videogames (:-X). Helpless Gamestop clerks are basically the perfect victim to force upon share their passionate opinions on all things gaming, especially since they're trapped behind the counter and might lose their job if they ask you to fuck off.

I once played a drinking game against myself to "impress" a paramour that involved being asked to describe a national flag and taking a shot for every one I got right; talking about action games strained off Japanese history is practically watching the Super Bowl with the guys while we JO in comparison to my outer limits.

Welp, if I had to take the word of a financial risk analyst vs. a gamestop employee. I'll take the gamestop employee every time. There's at least a slight chance the gamestop employee might be right.

I don't know why this is funny, this happens to me all the time when I debunk the legitimacy of the state to service workers, or really, anyone I come into contact with. It's like any NeoGAF thread where I do it only with even more people's minds being blown at the veil of ignorance being lifted by my version of synthesis. Often even bystanders are taken aback.

The only GameStop "argument" I remember participating in occured the day after StarCraft 2 was revealed for the first time. I went to GS to pick up something WoW related and one of the employees asked if I wanted to preorder "World Of StarCraft," which he claimed was just confirmed by Blizzard. I told him it was actually SC2, I watched the event live last night, etc but he kept insisting it was an MMO. I bought my item and left shaking my head.

Speaking of beatings, I missed this as I had already quit the store, but at the mom n' pop game shop I worked at years ago, two of the more annoying customers we had got into a full on heated fist fight.  Two guys, getting arrested...over arguing about comic books in a video game store.  Doesn't get any nerdier than that.

No, it doesn't.  That would also be being a fucking idiot, unless we're talking about a rabid dog literally trying to kill you.  It's the dog's owner who needs a good swift kick.  As much as I hate what happened, the owner is also a complete moron for walking her dogs without a leash.

So what did they settle on, DC or Marvel?

I think they were arguing about which of two characters were stronger or something.

I was read Cosmos (the Carl Sagan book, not Witold Gombrowicz's) as a bedtime story.

If a random dog, with no owner in sight, that weighs over 60 or so pounds lunges at me, I'll defend myself. I'm not talking about lethal force either, enough force to tell the dog to fuck off.

I'm not talking about a random dog coming up to you and smelling your feet either.

Mostly earlier in the thread when many users were putting 100% of the blame on the owner, and implying they would also kick the dog with an excessive amount of force/putting no blame on the jogger's actions. The use of fear as a reasonable justification, all of which I found as an interesting parallel the problems with cops currently.
