Honestly, was it wrong of me to do this?

I work at GameStop and today a Latino woman and her son came in. The son (who looked like he was around 13 or 14 years old) spoke English fine but the woman had very broken English. What I could make out from her is that she wanted to pre-order Halo Reach for her son. I was very concerned because she might not realize what kind of violence and language she would be exposing her son to so I had my other GameStop employee (his name is Ricardo, speaks Spanish and English) warn her about the game's violence in Spanish and she was able to understand and then scolded her son for trying to get such a game. Did I do the right thing?

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] wu haoxuan [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] The Shepherd214 Congratulations, you ruined the kid's young life. The game isnt even rated for language, and most of the blood you see is blue and purple. Probably 90% of his friends will be playing it and he will be twiddling his thumbs with nothing to do because his well-intentioned but ignorant mother doesnt want him to hear next to no cursing and to see fake alien blood. And to top it off, the kid is a teen. If he cant handle a game's mild violence, he has more problems to worry about. Once again, congrats.[/quote] This is complete BS. No one's life is ruined because their parents didn't buy them a video game on release day. Actually, OP gave excellent customer service to the person who was actually buying the game. The kid can always play the game when he's at his friends' houses. You know basically nothing about the kid's mom, so you really aren't qualified to speak to her intentions or her intelligence. 86.26% of all quoted percentages are made up on the spot. And for all you know, the kid could have a messed up past that makes him particularly sensitive to violence. In short, nothing you said should be taken seriously.[/quote] Dont give me your BS. If the mother denied him a game, that really can be viewed by most audiences, simply because she views it in the same way that Fox News says that Mass Effect is a space -blam!- game, then that is ridiculous. Of course i over-exaggerated by saying his life is ruined, but if you cant play Bungie's swan song over a BS technicality, then it would suck pretty bad. Quit being Mr. Rogers, okay?
