im honestly surprised that gamestop is still open. it made more sense when gaming was still kind of a niche thing, but now you can go into any walmart, best buy, target, etc and buy just about any of the latest retail games in stores. you can get day 1 shipping off sites like Amazon and play the game at release without ever leaving your masterbatorium.

also now digital is becoming a big thing on consoles and a lot of them are having sales (xbox just had a spring sale, i just got an email about a playstation tom clancy game sale, etc), so it makes used games less lucrative, because games aren't going out of print anymore due to digital and you can get them for the same price digitally too during a sale.

so i dont really get what gamestop's place is anymore. it's a niche hobby shop that does not cater to a niche hobby anymore. who goes there frequently?
