This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Despite the other comments, this has real /thathappened vibes. First of all the OP would have to be a dick, second, why buy 3 copies or have any sort of “buy the same game x3” deal. Nobody does that.
You think someone would do that? Go on the internet and tell lies?
“Everything written on the internet is true.”
-Abraham Lincoln, 1801.
The internet was invented by George Washington, the boy who could not tell a lie. That's why it was designed to be lie-proof.
Abraham Lincoln was born in 1809, making it literally impossible for him, even telepathically, to say that quote.
Boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder.
Yeah, as an ex GS employee - GS does not have the profit margins on new games to do a sale like that on new games. Only used games get put on buy two get one sales, and those can be returned.
So this is definitely a /thathappened moment.
Also like... How old is this post? Even when I worked at GS years ago parents knew what CoD was. The first CoD came out in 2003 it is not the kind of obscure that parents would ask about.
Buy cod for all 3 of your kids so they can play it together, if they're talking about it. Or cousins.
