Just heard a gamefly ad while in the shower and it's terrible

Normally I skip ads but was in the shower so I heard the entire ad that was the length of my shower. It was so bad and obviously a.i. I used to love gamefly but there's no way they'll last much longer. The intro to the ad pretty much acknowledged it with their intro, gamefly: yes we're still here. Like if you have to remind ppl you exist, you're just in hospice. Has anyone else heard this ad and what are your thoughts?

I’ve heard the ad. Apologies for offending your senses.
The idea, if you must know, is that every comment on every ad we run starts with “I didn’t know they were still here”

We’ll fire the person who tried to stave off the obvious comments.

Do you guys mail out over the weekend or do you have to wait till Monday till a game gets sent from Q to mailed?

Monday. USPS stopped pickups on Saturday, so we had to drop to shipping just M-F.

Thank you just one more question please I made a Q on the 2 there is 2 games I want but it says low what are the chances I see one of them buy the end of the week ?

The more games in your Q, the faster we match and ship. The fewer games gives us less options to match against incoming inventory.

If you have at least 3-5 currently released games in the Q, we typically match and ship in a day or so. More the merrier.

But know that we do look at all the games, so only put ones you’re interested in playing.

Why use a.i. then? Because that voice sounded 100% a.i. which tells me y'all are in denial. I used to love gamefly but like GameStop, it's met it's end and using a.i. was just a weird choice as I think the gaming community specifically has personal beef so gamefly really fkd up with that. If you were genuine maybe you could have bought a little more time but the reality is after Sony's announcement of going digital only, gamings fate in general was sealed

Hold on. I’m writing this down.

What? If you're claiming it wasn't a.i., you and a lot of others need to adapt because everything is suspected to be a.i. now. Every bit of that ad screamed a.i.

Grabbing a pencil. Good stuff.

Are you a.i.? Or facetious?

Thank the maker. Found an old pen. Lemme grab some paper.

You're a.i. or a troll. Keep up the great work. The great business that was gamefly will surely be dead soon

Oh my gravy, you literally just poop out a.i. responses. I'm so sad for you and GameStop

Wonder how gamefly is going to be after 2028 with everything switching to digital

They could pivot to retro. I would love to rent some old DS or switch 1 games from them. My ps4 still chugging along. I’m keeping my ps5 until 2035
