tl;dr I purchased a fake game card game after a retailer confirmed it was real.
what should i do?
report, return? - do i have an obligation to other shoppers?

I was at highpoint shopping day yesterday.
I saw a store selling exploding kittens NSFW edition for really cheap.
$49.95 marked down to $18 with a further 20% off - so ~$14.50
I had previously seen this in another store for $34.
The packaging looked a little suss..
The customer service rep asked me if i wanted help.
I asked her if the game was fake, she said no.
So I purchased it.
Got home opened it, compared it to online vids to confirm my suspicion.
It's an A grade fake.

They are also selling other game products which i also suspect are fakes.

what should i do?
report, return? - do i have an obligation to other shoppers?

  I used to live around the corner 10 years ago. Locals do actually call it knifepoint due to the clientele.

I'm glad you edited your title. I thought somebody forced you to buy a fake game at knifepoint. That would have been deadly.

  The shopping centre is colloquially known as Knifepoint.

  There it is: in the distance, towering high. Highpoint Shopping Centre, at 120-200 Rosamond Road, Maribyrnong, aka Knifepoint. Yes, you can check-in at Knifepoint Shopping Centre on Facebook, and rate it. “James” gives it five stars, saying: “5/5 would get stabbed again.”

    That's hilarious…. for people who don't have to go there I guess.

Return it and ask for a refund. After that, report them - to centre management, to the companies whose games they're selling fakes of, etc.

maybe the online vids are fake? have you contacted the manufacturer to confirm it's really fake?

Interested in how you determined it was fake and how close it looks like to the real thing.

Please show us the item, the source, and the place of purchase.

(I'm not doubting. I just like real vs fake pictures, and also shaming places that have the gall to peddle fakes as genuine).

Ps. Yes you do have a moral obligation to warn others have you have benefitted from someone else's warning/video.
