The small game shops that Gamestop crushed years ago were the ones people cared about.
Nope, they're trash and rip people off.refurbishing fee for scratch? never heard? Cedar point opening day is coming up soon. Are you still a huge fan?
Funny how they used to charge you a refurbishing fee if the game you traded in had a small scratch but yet I seen multiple games I bought be in way worse condition and have other stuff on it and they acted like it wasn't a big deal.
Then I found out recently you can't get any less then $10 in Xbox credit, I used to get the power up rewards every year because you got $5 free every month to use on whatever in the store but I wouldn't even be able to use the $5 every month.
Gamestop has changed a lot and not in a good way
There's some areas who are so small that the only way they can get games without ordering them online is through GameStop.
So in this scenario it is either move or be shit out of luck.

If they live in an area with a Gamestop I'd think there's at least one Walmart.Gamestop's business model is basically:
Ordering online will always be cheaper so I don't see an issue there. I've hated Gamestop ever since I saw how little they give for trade-ins and how much they resell them for. It's barely worth the cost of gas driving there. I know they have to make a profit, but it's a little extreme.
Gamestop's business model is basically:
We know our customers; they have zero self-respect, and that makes them easy to take advantage of.
It's basically the same philosophy as coloring part of an office chair, slapping the word "gaming" on it and tripling the price. Or, you know, Super Hyper Ultra Mega Street Fighter IV Hyper Arcade Edition Deluxe on a Sesame Seed Bun.

Remastered.
Re-remastered.

Like I said before, the video game selection at my local wal-mart, target, and even best buy these days is just going to be the mainstream stuff. Your 2K sports titles, EA titles, whatever ubisoft is current slinging etc. Now we had a mom and pop video game place......that only lasted about 4 years before they shut down.
Whenever I am getting a video game thats a bit more niche/a limited or collector edition release then it has to be gamestop. Like my tormented souls disc, hades disc, after image deluxe edition, any falcom game or nis game is coming from gamestop.
Amazon is not a option because pre-ordering brand new games from them is god awful down my way. Even with prime you ain't getting shit for like at least a week when it comes to these smaller games.....poor bastards who pre-ordered the mega man battle network collection physical didn't even get theirs for 2 weeks up towards a month from amazon. Meanwhile those of us who pre-ordered at gamestop just went to the store (or actually got it from their online store, but man the online store shipping price is bonkers from gamestop these days).
I worked at GameStop when I was 18 before I started college, nothing good to say about that place. Scummy business practices.Couldn't you guys at least not smear chocolate on the booklets of "new" games?
We were allowed to take new games out of the case, take them home for a few weeks, bring them back and sell them as 'brand new' when they were obviously used.
