I mean good on them for buckling down and making fun of it. Buncha people are going to talk about it and probably buy from them as stock comes in. Highlighting failure is a great way to market

I think “IFKYK” is the worst.

I thought they had used something more like a staple gun since the damage on those screens was quite gnarly

Great job to just lean into the mistake maybe one store made and just own it.

We all know the meme now but what happened to the employee/s? Did they get fired? Still dumb to do something like that. I don’t care if it was back of the box I wouldn’t never staple the receipt to the box. People are collectors, they want dents and damages to the box.

At least their marketing department are doing a decent job with what remains of the burning slag pile

Good example of the Streisand Effect with GS telling potential customers who didn’t know that some of their stores stapled into Switch 2 screens while in the box.

lol did they fuck up a bunch of screens stapling receipts to the box or something?
For context. GameStop stapled receipts on the Switch 2 box. Staples damaged screens on launch day upsetting customers.
