WTF is your problem?

*thumbs up*

WTF is your problem, asshole?

I applaud you, i've never seen a faster downvote, well done. 3 minutes takes some serious stupidity, but you're 'special' aren't you *pats head patronisingly*

Why must these evil companies do these occasionally nice things to distract me from their evilness?

I'd like to see you try better, and don't hire somebody to do it!

It's things like this that really make me happy to be part of the gaming community. Stuff like this, Child's Play, and many others just really shows that us gamers are a caring bunch in general.

Sure, generally we sit at home playing video games, but ask us to spare a dollar when pre-ordering a new game and we'll be happy to provide!

Dammit, Bobby beat me to it. My comment was going to be, "Dude, that drawing SUCKS!"...too soon?

Rather than buy my sis that DS she wanted, I'm buying 150 $1 gift cards. :)

well, coming from an asshole like kotick, it makes total sense.

Back on topic - it's a rather cute design, and it's nice that gamestop is doing something nice with all the cash it obtains.

That's generous of Gamestop, but 100K as a limit sounds too small, when considering that their profits are in teh billions. In fact, I'd even go as far as to say it's stingy.

As an employee of Gamestop, I had the chance to witness the personal testimonials of several Make A Wish children that we sponsored at our Vegas convention in August. It was one of the most affirming moments of my professional life, seeing the joy these kids had associated with what my company was able to do for them and their families.

One young boy, probably nearing 12 who was given notice he had maybe a final 12 months to live, has his friends and family treated to a Gamestop shopping spree and gaming party at his house. He was so happy to be able to have the experience of gaming and an event facilitated to his request for his loved ones. He told us how happy it made him and we were 6,000 people humbled in an auditorium... giving him a standing ovation for his courage alone living with a painful and debilitating bone disease for the last 6 years.

My boss and his peers rebuilt homes in New Orleans this past summer. The pictures were incredible and compelled me to go work the cancer unit at Texas Children's Hospital a month later, donating time and swag to some truly inspirational little kids. Say what you will about my company, we are a brand that families can go to for specialty retail in one of the coolest hobbies ever, and that when the opportunity presents itself, can sometimes rise to the occasion. I know most core gamers find it cool to hate on us, but I still love my business and the people I get to work with and help.

I have to admit, I am proud of you for deciding to feature something like this. Good karma instead of venom--and no, we didn't ask the kid if he wanted to preorder anything. ;)

Happy Thanksgiving, Joystiqers!

What an ass! I should strip you of your ATDF title!

The question still remains: Is he trying to parody the real Kotick or is it his own opinion.

have to agree with the "mean people",looks like a 5 yr old drawing at best lol

Is it just me or does the end of this article have frightening connotations?

Oh, thanks for the laugh.

Awesome

To all the assclowns who seem to think that this girl should have drawn a better picture, please bear in mind that her art classes were likely canceled in favor of extensive chemo treatments and recovery sessions.

really nice of gamestop
