I did it. I finally did it. For weeks, hell, months I've been wanting to cancel my preorder to Destiny but I have always either forgotten or was just too lazy. And now it is done and I don't think I have ever felt happier. As a treat I wanted to show you guys my conversation with my GameStop clerk. I will be in bold and she will be in regular text. Cheers mates!

>Ok then. Oh your PowerUp card has been expired for a while. Would you like to renew it?
[b]>No, I don't care.[/b]
>Would you like to preorder anything else?
[b]>(Are you serious?) No thanks I'm good.[/b]

I hate GameStop for that very reason hi I want to cancel destiny OK are you sure yes I am positive would you like to preorder cod AW -blam!- no
-
I'm getting 'extremely' exhausted with people announcing their canceled pre-orders. We do not care about your hatred for Destiny. Now get off the forums. we don't like CoD fan boys!
-
What are your reasons?
-
I did the same and pre-ordered, Borderlands pre-sequel.
-
Comcast should take lessons from that Gamestop clerk. Simple and reasonable questions to a cancelling customer.

You don't think you've ever felt happier? Damn, that's depressing. I sincerely hope your life becomes more eventful in the future.
-
Good for you. [spoiler]nobody cares[/spoiler]

I was going to preorder but my parents said they'd pay for it, so I got the money back and a free game.
-
You've never been happier? Your life must be boring as -blam!-
-
Lol the people that think they achieved something by canceling a pre-order of destiny and announcing it in the bungie forums are kind of childish. Its not like you win an award or anyone cares or alot of people dont notice it xD
-
I'm probably cancelling my limited edition pre order for the Xbox One this weekend too. Why pay for all the DLC if Xbox isn't going to get it for a year and Playstation gets it right away. I pay the same price, I should get the same game. Probably might not even get destiny at all now. Bungie is going to lose business from Xbox with everyone cancelling.
-
Is talking to people really that hard for you guys? She wasn't even hounding you. She was probably in a state of disbelief because who the hell cancels a preorder a couple days before release. Yeah it's annoying when GameStop tries to force preorders on you, but I seriously have trouble understanding why people have so much trouble with saying "No, I'm not interested in any preorders".

I know that hating destiny gets you approval in #gaming but this post still belongs in #Destiny. I want to see the raging desticles

Meh. I'm looking forward to it. I have nothing else to play until Shadow Of Mordor anyways. Got Metro 2033 Redux. Finished and deleted. I liked it more than Last Light.
-
Luckily the gamestop near me is chill and just says okay cancelled and asks if I need anything else. It's fine if they ask that but if they ask me a billion things then I get annoyed, but I never have to deal wit this unless its a new guy.
-
Lol, well done mate. [spoiler]#Lemonisaretard[/spoiler]

Edited by Dylan is Grump: 9/4/2014 2:02:58 PMShe doesn't care about the game being big or not. She just wants to keep your purchase. Cancelled pre-order = lost sale. That's why I pre-order on Amazon! The robots that run the system and soon the world's economy won't judge me until after they obtain sentience!

what do you want? a cookie?
-
Wanna see my care face?
-
What are you going to do with all that suave?
-
I never pre-ordered. Glad, too. I have other games I can pass the time with until Shadow of Mordor and Project CARS come out.
-
She was probably caught off guard since not many people have been cancelling those pre orders is all. In relations to the (are you serious?) Part, Gamestop employees are trained to force the pre order. Force it down people's throat. They will mention it in every transaction. I could be buying a game boy game for 2 bucks and they'd ask if I want to pre order something else.
