    The “three copies” part makes this seem really fake. Why would a parent buy more than one copy of a game?

        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.

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

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

              Well, my sister asked what I was getting her little Tommy this year so we can make sure we didn’t get the same thing, she got him RDR:UN so I was safe to get him COD too. My brother said he was getting little Susan and Jerry Rock Band 2, so I was free to get them a copy of COD as well and that way all our children can fish together! Turns out they didn’t want to fish at all, they wanted to shoot at each other! Kids these days I swear!

              You never bought your niece or nephew a gift? Should video games be strictly relegated to parental gifts? What am I allowed to buy for familial children age 1-17 that I didn’t have hand in birthing? More importantly, what exactly are you smoking, and can I have some?
