@DaBloxxer420 "Pennsylvania" is how it's spelled, but I'm pretty sure everyone who reads your comment will know which area you were referring to anyway's, so don't worry about it.
I am just laughing at the irony of them defending that Olympic breakdancer. Allegedly they skewed the tryout results ( their husband was on the panel of judges and they were responsible for marketing the tryouts) so she would be the representative. She didn't even truly breakdance. Just made a fool of herself on a international stage stealing a potential spot from people who truly deserved to stand up there, and now there won't be any more breakdancing in the Olympics. The irony that DkOldies is that breakdancer of the retro gaming world. I also will partially agree with their argument about Toxicity with hate and discrimination, but as Jacob stated that is just the internet in general. I say partially because it's not just a retro game thing like their blog would have people believe but gaming in general. I also would love to know who they talked to that made them feel people gatekeep from "casual" gamers lol.
Exactly, it's the kind of nice and cuddly that looks forced. Like you can feel the vibe is fake just for the views and to seem family friendly to everyone.
If enough people stop buying their products from them, it should hopefully teach them a lesson. But unfortunately, their fanboys will continue to defend and buy from them.
There from Pennsylvania. Nobody there takes responsibility for their actions. Just look at their two major sports franchises. The eagles and the flyers
Bro I on my eb games account history (GameStop) I sold all my Pokémon games in 2013 I had every single one up until the newest which I think was black and white and I only got $123 and that was all with cases and manuals etc. the prices now are a joke it’s not like supply was low
If you look at any profession, you expect to get the service rendered or advertised. If a doctor makes a mistake during surgery, they are held accountable. If a lawyer lies during court, the case is dismissed and legal action can take place. The point is that if you advertise something and then it’s proven time and time again that the consumer did not get what was paid for, then they shouldn’t be allowed to be in business. Offering a warranty because the product is likely faulty, and saying “we are only human” is a pathetic scapegoat.
It's almost like DKOldies equates "hardcore gamers" to "well-informed customers" There's catering to a casual audience, then there's taking advantage of them. Very unfortunate that they seemingly haven't learned from last time.
DK oldies has always catered to a casual audience. I don't know how people were finding them before tik-tok, but I was buying games on Facebook marketplace and Craigslist, and I started getting games with DK Oldies stickers on them around 2010 or so. I remember one lady left the DK oldies invoice in the box, and she had paid 29.99 for a copy of DK Classics for NES when it was like a $12 game.
I genuinely don’t understand how DK oldies don’t understand that addressing criticism like this is a bad idea. They could’ve easily and quickly addressed it, say they will improve, and proceed to improve. But DK oldies has to make a spectacle about it, avoid addressing why people are criticizing them in the first place by saying “we’re jealous of their success”. It’s pathetic
We are still talking about them today. If they had addressed the issues the way you suggest, it would be just another company flipping stuff for a profit.
Why would they post this? Seems very self-absorbed. After reading it, the part I took issue with was this: _"when DKOldies buys out large collections at higher prices, it can leave fewer bargains for smaller resellers and hardcore game collectors, causing frustration in this community. DKOldies' pricing reflects the demand for authentic products and the effort put into maintaining a reliable stock for our customers."_ I think their smug attitude that smaller resellers even care about what they are doing or suggesting they a just better by default is offputting. Tons of smaller sellers can service consoles better, offer significanlty better pricing, and have a better reputation with thier customers. The whole blog seems more like an insecure projection than anything else. They are over-priced and for that exuberant cost, one expects a certain standard level of service. They have not met that standard and people took notice.
I saw a video recently, I forget who it was but it was a RUclipsr showing the behind the scenes of owning a game store and the store owner would take a loss on big title games on like GameCube and other expensive collectibles games just to get people in his store and also so he’s not sitting on the game for months. He made money on cheaper games he’d bought for a dollar. He kept his prices lower than everyone else and was also more successful because of this. That’s the kind of person I want to buy from. Not DKoldies
I like how DKOldies claims they’re trying to make gaming and game collecting more accessible and open to everyone, then sell their non-refurbished consoles at excessively high markups to take advantage of those same “casuals” who just won’t know any better or know to look for more competitive deals elsewhere. Not to mention including knockoff controllers that don’t work nearly as well as legit ones, which contradicts one of chat GPT’s other claims. Real slick
I commented on a Facebook post last month and said "I trust mom and pop stores and eBay than this scammy store." Some actually liked and agreed on my comment. But later on I get defenders and even DKOldies themselves trying to justify their actions. They don't even give good reason on why they do what they do. Thank goodness I have never bought anything from them because their prices are bad enough but seeing other videos like yours show how truly scummy they are.
Of course DKOldies won't adress the "hardcore gamers", as they call them (or "anybody who knows the smallest thing about retro games or prices" as everybody else calls them), because nobody who even remotely knows what he/she is doing would pay anything close to their prices.
DK Oldies doesn't get that we wouldn't be here if they just sold their consoles they didn't clean as used and not refurbished and didn't overprice them.
yeah ... just made another comment where even i (knowing i am taking a chance) have bought "used-good" or "used-acceptable" tech products at a massive discount vs regular prices on Amazon and i know what i am getting and (not gaming stuff) .. the "Acceptable" stuff ... .is actually in better condition than what i have seen from DKOldies (consistantly)
Nah. Dkoldies is destroying the retro market with their 2x & 3x prices. You can’t get your hands on anything they carry due to them buying it up or artificially raising market value. I pray for the day they close their doors. Awful company. “For the casual gamer”, lies, raising thr barrier of entry for casual gamers would be the truth.
When dkoldies says "everyone" and "every gamer" they mean "ignorant". Too ignorant to know what is expected of a "refurbished" system. Too ignorant to think they should, or could, open the system to inspect it. Taking advantage of them is their profit margin.
This entire thing is chatgpt. No freaking way its not. I dont know of 1 person who didnt like joey, everyone hates being ripped off by the company. Simple.
“This can disrupt the usual pricing strategies of resellers and make games harder to get for hardcore gamers.” The first part doesn’t exactly sound like the worst thing ever, but I can’t even find a way to make the second part sound the slightest bit positive
One thing that DKOldies need to understand is: Don't focus on hate, you are essentially giving the hater a reason to hate and continue. If they ignore it, then the haters notice and stop trying nearly as hard. And I would like to add that if some of DKOldies' workers are offended (or something similar), then just don't mind it and move on.
I'm the one that called Joey a boomer lol, I honestly thought he was like 45. I agree it's a nit-picky thing to call them out for not knowing, I mainly just comment to let people know what kind of company DK Oldies actually is and was surprised that not only did he not know about that, but that he thought it needed its own video
Nobody is buying physical anymore regardless if it's casuals or hardcores,we are in the all digital age & tech always moves forward not backwards,these are facts.
1:47 Also let's not forget the fact that they'd sent them out claiming they've been refurbished and half the time they would not even work period. Speaking from my own experience.
I can imagine the DKOldies defenders have never Actual opened their console to check for dust and other problems before hand and are just going by how the console plays
I miss DKOldies exclusive special refurbished overpriced, over hyped, questionable consoles that are all refurbish, packed and shipped by joey himself with their void warranty if open stickers with a 1 year support and warranty guaranteed by the man himself Joey. We're not a scam, we are DKOdies.😮
My favorite video from Dkoldies is the one where they said they’re removing the stickers and that it never voided the warranty and that there sorry if it confused people to thinking that even though the sticker said Dkoldies and Warranty void if removed printed on it
Thank god I never decided to buy a console from them.. Because they were overpriced anyway and I saw the scam drama start so I'm fortunate to make that last minute decision honestly...
I feel like if they were to actually admit that they weren't refurbishing, when they said they were, a real lawsuit would definitely happen.. they swept it under the rug to save face. Drew doesn't want to lose money in a lawsuit that he would surely lose if they actually said they were lying to people. It sucks, but they will never admit that.
When DK oldies says they are being inclusive by selling to new gamers and people without hardcore gaming experience, what they mean is they’re hoping that people who buy their products don’t know enough about video game consoles to know they’re getting ripped off
Honestly if they actually fully repaired and cleaned the consoles as much as they can (besides minor scuffs and stretches obviously) then I think their prices could be justified if it's lowered a bit
this like something towards all other games now i talk about how bad cod is now and im hit with bricks from them even when i say some other games are a lot of fun bricks at me again im over toxic gamers that are coming after me now
Someone on their team actually said that “the market said their prices” and so I pointed out a 2DS is in fact not $200, its $50. Never got a reply lmao
I wouldn't order anything from them, even if they did what they said they do. Those prices are insane. I don't see many hard core gamers buying from them either. And yes, the keyboard warriors are strong on the interwebs!
Love how they are proclaiming content creators are jealous of Joey when they were giving him more limelight by meming about him. I fail to see where the jealousy is. Also most hardcore gamers i think could care less about info being simplified. Could you imagine if people gave LTT beef for simplifying stuff on their videos lol. As a retail worker myself I would argue it's just classic retail environment itself at times to correct a customer who is mispronouncing something. 1. To show you do have knowledge yes. 2. In the case you aren't able to fully help them then they won't go through as much trouble elsewhere since they now know the correct pronunciation.
LUL gatekept hardcore gamers. thats crazy. as a hard core 30000 hour halo player. ill telll you, no one gatekeeping. its really not the best life to be a hardcore gamer. and on top of that the level of toxicity you deal with for being good makes it all the worse
The biggest issue is the price for the service provided its not you v influencers its just scummy business practices to make as much money as possible with little effort.
Jesus I just laugh at all the negative comments I get on my videos lol. That's the best way to deal with all the negative comments, just laugh at them lmao
I think the toxicicty in the retro gaming community is steming from two things: 1. An increase in interest and more people newly taking up the hobby increasing demand and prices. (They have been saying that buble was gonna pop for what? 5 years now?) 2. The days of going to a yard sale and someone paying you $20 to take their entire North American Nintendo 64 library off of their hands is just about over. (Grossly exagerated)
Their entire business model was being first on google search results so that they could prey on gen x/y nostalgia of people who have no idea on the true value of those consoles and games
man you dont know how lucky you are. ive not pllayed my xbox xs in 6 months because the hdmi port broke on my mother board. i thought that i could fix it i got the port and let a guy try it for me . but then he said he couldnt fix it...but i know i need a new board but every time i get the money life gets in the way ...if you have a board laying around help out a fellow gamer .
DKOldies won't admit that they weren't refurbishing consoles because that would open them up to a mighty big lawsuit. Instead, they "made mistakes" and blame shifted everything onto the RUclipsrs who called them out on it.
Didn't DKOldies get sued by a company a year ago? What happened with that lawsuit? 😂😭
No idea lol I haven't heard about it in a long time
It was probably all a lie
Apparently the law firm that sued them didn't actually have a license to practise law in the state DKOldies is located in.
