EBGamestop playing Twilight Princess spoiler

spoilerwarning.jpgIf you haven’t yet finished Twilight Princess, you might want to either avoid shopping at EBGamestop this month, or try very hard not to look at or listen to the TV while you’re in there. Apparently, one of the looping commercials they play spoils the ending.

An employee confirms they will be showing the ending to a new game each month, “in order to entice people to purchase the games.” This is a really stupid marketing ploy.

    This must be for their new buy-back strategy.
    1. You buy the game
    2. they show you the ending
    3. Now that you’ve seen the good part the clerk chimes in with their trade in pitch
    4. repeat

    Oh what the fuck. This is absolutely horrible. Why in the hell would they do this? The developers should definitly stand up against this type of idiotic shit.

    I can’t see how they think this will spur sales. If I saw the ending, I have no need to buy it.

    Hello. This is JaydeWiz, the person from GameFAQs who originally brought this to everyone’s attention. In this article, you mention that “An employee confirms they will be showing the ending to a new game each month, ‘in order to entice people to purchase the game.’”

    This is not what I said. I said that I was under the impression that it might be a monthly thing. Whether or not it will be is left to be seen.
