Topic	I can't believe GameStop is still open.
RetuenOfDevsman 02/15/24 11:40:38 AM #19:	bigblu89 posted... You'd be surprised how many people are still "Physical Only" gamers when it comes to their library. Combine that with not having the patience to wait for a game to arrive in the mail, and you have your reason why GameStop is still a thing. Oh, that's just the tip of the iceberg. Why would you buy a game that's already open and has an unremovable price sticker on it when you can buy the same game factory sealed for the same price at any decent retailer? Do they still discount $5 for used? Was that ever a legit equilibrium price? No matter how you slice it, the only reason to ever buy from GameStop was because Walmart didn't have SNES games on shelves anymore. It must just be that the word "Game" is in the branding. Only reason I can come up with. <cite>RetuenOfDevsman posted [p:978857448] in I can't be...
