what like walmart? I know other gamestores exist but they are usually only within a certain region, and not as many of them as gamestops. at least around where I live, and places ive been.

never got half the hate gamestop gets though, its not a bad place unless you are trying to sell games, but i've never seen a gamestore that gives the kind of money you'd hope.

I doubt that Americans even know that there's an entire world containing the other 96% of the world's population outside their borders.

Why not try looking there?

No, it's just using Gamestop as an example of a dedicated video game retailer and Gamestop is admittedly the best-known example of its type right now. The other chains are far smaller and then you obviously can't name a local mom & pop. No game retailer is more common than Gamestop. You'll also notice that they used Best Buy and Walmart as the examples of their type and yet you didn't believe that they were the only example of their type.

How could the entire world be outside our borders when America is part of the world?

Because the other 96% is irrelevant.

Then you should be voting in their completely pointless and voluntary video game polls since gamefaqs' make you so upset.

The problem with that assessment is that it's still fucking wrong. No other chain comes close to Gamestop, which is active in 17 countries -- one of which is the USA, 16 more of which are not.

Its competitors are poorly known. Outside of the UK, nobody's heard of GAME which is fucking tiny at only 324 locations. In fact, most video game retailer not named or owned by Gamestop have less than a thousand locations. And if you're promoting some nonsense local chain like GAME because you're from that country -- the only country where it's known -- you're guilty of the very thing you accuse others of doing.

this site does seem to be more geared towards americans, but allows anyone to come in because what would be the point in not allowing them.

3 of the options in this poll list an example of a store which falls under their respective option. As stated in an earlier post, GameStop was listed as an example of a game store, but it does not imply that GameStop is the only game store that exists.

Every single time this poll is run, someone seems to complain about this poll in relation to the GameStop option.

Best Buy with GCU...I dunno why you'd go anywhere else for games. (Unless it's way older/retro or you download all your games, of course.)

GameStop is the only major "game" store chain in the USA. Electronics Boutique merged with GameStop a long time ago. Hollywood Video's GameCrazy died with the closure of the rental store. Babbage's is GameStop. Software Etc. also merged with Babbage's [essentially GameStop]. The closest nowadays are "toy" stores which I am a surprise that wasn't a choice but now it's only Toys-R-Us (which is financially in trouble) because the other choice KB Toys sold to Toys-R-Us a long time ago.

I buy games that are physical at Best Buy with GCU too. I haven't shopped at a GameStop in several years (oh wait I lied I preordered the Nintendo Switch there lol). I typically don't bother going to GameStop unless it's for the odd niche game used.

I guess that this thread goes to show that people will bite at anything.

Regardless, where I live, I have never seen a Gamestop store in my life.

The poll literally states, "at a dedicated game store", with an example of GameStop being given. Honestly, you're the one seeming to be biting at people or perhaps you can't read.

There is a "R U Game?" store near me but they mostly sell used games (like for older game systems such as Game Cube, etc.). I guess they would be considered a 'dedicated' game store but they don't have that many locations either as far as I know. Most of the time I buy my games either at GameStop, Walmart, Toys R Us, or Target. There is a Best Buy near me too but it's a royal pain getting access to, especially around the holidays (near a movie theater/shopping plaza that's poorly designed).
