  And why would they open all three? Or even one?

    If it were a single one I could see a kid playing it to see if it’s any good, but three? Makes no sense. I know most of these green texts are fake, but anon could have done better.

      It’s a flimsy argument but the only thing I can think is the kid thought it was a joke and opened all three to make sure they were indeed all the same

        A couple of my kin pulled this exact joke on me, funny enough two of the joke games ended up being pretty good.

  You thought it’s a fishing game. It was Skyrim.

  One for my kid, one for each family of cousins (my brother’s and sister’s respective kids) “so they can play their nintendo machines on the internets like they always do?”

    I guess if one of the siblings is better off than the others, I could see them buying the same game for other family members, but it seems kind of unusual.

      In December in America we do this thing called Christmas, where you get gifts for and gather with family and friends and exchange them. Kids are often included in this despite not having money of their own, and usually receive gifts from the family like video games or other doodads.

      Video games themselves are barely sold on disks anymore, while this could have all transpired about two months ago, it’s more likely to be an old post immortalized into a screencap, this could be from 2010 for all we know, which is the year that game was released for the xbox 360, coincidentally.

        Yes, I meant for Christmas. You kid says “I want cod!”, so you buy three copes of the game for other family members as well? Why aren’t their parents buying the game for them?
