“Yet, walk into a Gamestop and any salesperson will be able to discuss any game on any platform to the point of exhaustion....”
Well....so?
If you walked in there, and the people knew nothing about the product they sold, you would have people complaining about how salespeople are bad these days because they dont know their own product.
My comment was a comparison of knowing about something useful (a car, transportation) against something that isn't useful (games).
YMMV...
