What kind of retailer tries to discourage a sale? This is some weird shit....

 

[Warnen]

I take you seriously for a second.bThe hell you know what will happen to COD and ps5 from 2024. Didn't Spencer saying he want to keep COD on ps5? We are 2 years away from 2024. Why people should care now to COD 2024. The hell is that stupidity.

well if you are only gonna get 1 next gen console and CoD is mulitplat till 2024…. Might want to buy in where it will be exclusive/free with game pass. Ps5 might only have warzone at that point.

 

[Zok310]

So why continue to sell PS5 at that store?
This was prolly done by some dweeb manager that cares more about what goes on on the web forums than what goes on in their store.

 

[assurdum]

This was posted on Resetera days ago. IIRC, they said the guy who worked there was an Xbox fanboy and he put it up.

What a surprise I smelled it from the thread title.

Someone who would rather sell a Xbox Series S they actually have in stock than a PS5 they don’t have in stock?

 

[Abriael_GN]

Why would you do this? What do they care after you’ve walked out of the store?

As if a customer is going to come back demanding a refund because of that…

This is most likely the initiative of a single store manager or game department manager whitin a store (which often are kids in their twenties that don't really know better) that thought it was funny. They have access to the retailer's letterhead and a printer, and they're likely gonna get in trouble with corporate (unless corporate has a sense of humor I guess).

There's no way that's actually official marketing from the retailer, as it would be paginated decently and not have pen-written notes on it.

This site just decided to pretend this is something it isn't with no evidence whatsoever to drive some console war clicks in a weekend.

 

[ReBurn]

Sign should have also included "but Sony is going to make their own military shooter with hookers and blow" just to even things out.

 

[Loope]

WTF? Can they do that? This is ridiculous.

 

[assurdum]

But COD will stay on ps5 until 2024. And should even be illegal what he did. Even MS hasn't affirmed something so drastic about COD on ps5 until now, there is a reason about it.
This guy is a stupid fanboy and nothing more.

so you put a sign in front of the Xbox Series S saying hey "activision is owned by MS get your COD here!"..or whatever..you dont discourage the sale of another product.

[JLB]

But where is the warning:
"And Jim Ryan still is the CEO of Playstation".

you really want sony to sell shit right?

 

[assurdum]

What is it supposed to mean? The last COD I bought was COD welfare 2.

 

[ManaByte]

There is a very large group of mainstream gamers who ONLY play COD every year and that’s it.

 

[I collect VHS tapes]

I think it’s commendable to give people a heads up like the retailer did. For many people, CoD is a system seller. They deserve to know. Not everyone lurks on GAF.

 

[Warnen]

Ohh thought the illegal thing was the meme


didn’t know you meant it seriously


yikes….

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

They have PS5 to buy?
I only ever saw Xbox series at FNAC

That's why the sign!

 

[Kagey K]

So after years of arguing nonsense like the customer is uninformed and little Billy is going to get a One X for Christmas instead of a Series X, because mom doesn't know the difference, we are now getting upset because a retailer is informing thier consumers about something they may not be aware of and may affect them?

Never change GAF.

100% real no fake 1 link Mega.

Uh what. The terms of the agreement are not finalized yet; of course is illegal talk about anything as it was already defined, even for a retailer. Jesus man use at least your brain

I worked at a game store, what ever we needed to sell was “the best”. At least this is factual. I had to straight up tell people GameCube was better then the ps2 becuase our sales goals that month was for the GameCube.


let me know when you file the lawsuit snowflake.

 

[jonnyp]

people need to understand what the cod real deal is. It change everything...the effects will be evident in the next few years

You put that sticker there, didn't you?

And what it has to do to what I'm talking about. I don't think anyone can talk about this agreement in a definitive way until MS say so, can you imagine put a big advise. Of course who give a fuck to what a little retailers do, doubt MS even care about him.Why you people are so shocked.

 

[Lognor]

yurinka I told you this acquisition was going to have an effect now and not in 4 years like you claimed! "No casual gamers know about this acquisition" you claim. Well they do now!

 

[ReBurn]

It's like when you go to GameStop to buy an Xbox but the nerd behind the counter tries to talk you into buying a Wii instead by telling you all the ways Xbox sucks and Nintendo rules

 

[Warnen]

retail is all about bending truths to sell shit. If that was illegal retail would not exist. So bring your lawsuit of a sign present some big news to casuals, I’m sure you will win.

Just imagine if sony start to bring lawsuit about it because it become a trend (it's a paradox example). Let see what will happen to such retailers and if I'm so crazy. They did it for a lot less.

You should send them a link, help out the cause you know.

 

[SteelCurtain 59]

Sure, CoD will lose its relevancy. Point taken.

The funniest part of this comment is that you actually believe this

And why would a fucking retailer care?

Dude. You just talked about it. You committed a crime. You better delete this post.

Jesus. The cause. We are not all fanboy obsessed to the brand. I blamed Sony tons of times for a lot less. Doubt you ever said something negative about your precious MS in your whole post history. It's you who are obsessed about the cause. You can't even heard someone who react negatively about the retails behaviour in the OP with this bizzare sarcasm lol.

 

[faraany3k]

Too much salt here. COD is the reason gaming consoles sell.

 

[Airbus Jr]

Missed opportunity to put sign saying "All Xbox games can be played on PC". If we want to be fair for that kind of advertising.

 

[assurdum]

Dude. You just talked about it. You committed a crime. You better delete this post.

Dude. You can talk about the agreement. You can't advice the supposed terms, if you want to appears smart at least try to understand of what we are talking about. Don't put a vague sentence without any kinda of logic.

Can you link me to the penal codes that outlines what crime was committed in this specific jurisdiction?

Been very vocal on how shit the MS store is on PC, so bad I doubt I’ll keep gamepass (and bought halo on steam). Maybe I should threaten a lawsuit instead.

What terms are they discussing? They literally only say MS bought Activision.

Who cares about call of duty anyways.

Right guys?

It's something about the contract terms between the two company, I'm not a jurist but I can tell you that we can bring in the cause the company for such stuff. I don't know the exact law.

 

[oldergamer]

They need to take that shit down. If Sony sees this they will be pissed at that retailer.

This is like when EB was doing something similar with the Xbone before they changed the always online policy

LOL. This is amazing. Quoting this so you don't delete it.

 

[Concern]

A thread over a stupid sign put in a random store and still manages to trigger fanboys.

"Bu bu bu but cod sucks anyway haha"

Yet its the top selling console game.

 

[assurdum]

LOL. This is amazing. Quoting this so you don't delete it.

So you don't know anything about such stuff but you pretend it's legal because you know.... you want the precise law. Just inform yourself before to talk, it's better. The level of idiocies of some posters have reached the pinnacle in this thread. And just to rise the MS flag.
