wolfy42 12/02/18 1:28:01 AM #11:	I know gamestop gets alot of hate, and I understand some of it, but this is going to affect a ton of people, in a negative way. Tons of employees who are currently working at game stores....won't be. I know there are some at least that are quite cool and really love video games and gamers. I have lived through the evolution of video games, all of it. I was there when the first mom and pop stores first opened, heck, I put out flyers on cars for them. I get that gamestop is not perfect, but it's a part of gaming history, and I would argue over all it has been a good part of it. You all might not remember the old days, when gamestop had tournaments, dance dance revolution competions, guitar hero etc. They had parties when games would be released often at midnight. For many, many years many gamestops were run by really cool people who just loved talking about games. I admit, that many are not like that, in fact I have not used gamestop much in over 5 years specifically because of this. I have told friends who work for gamestop that they really need to bring that back, to get customer loyalty back, as there just is not enough incentive to purchase from gamestop, often at a higher price, then from places like amazon, best buy, or just buying digital. That isn't even taking steam into account and their huge sales. Honestly, if they had done EVERYTHING right (and I admit they have not), I still think it would be a lost cause. It's just so much easier, for me at least, to play a game on my PC then on a system. Laptops are strong enough to play the best games, and are portable, and can be hooked up to any 4k TV wherever you do, and have better graphics then a console at this point. That leaves console exclusives as your primary reason to even bother with a console, and even there, digital is generally easier (no switching game discs), and with an extrenal drive (not to mention the 1 tera drive from the pro) you can store a ton on your system. I will be sad to see gamestop go, but having not supported it much in the last 5 years or so, I can not complain, as it's partially my fault. I could have fought for the store, I could have gone in and told them what they needed to do, or even tried to set up some kinda community gamers organization that revolved around it. I do think it will be sad when there is no more game centered stores, but I also think it is sadly destined to happen. --- "did you steal my f***in signature" Helly <cite>wolfy42 posted [p:913393787] in Gamestop i...

Amazon is steadily cutting incentive to buy games and charging more for Prime, and Best Buy did away with Gamer's Club Unlocked entirely. Gamestop is a great place to get used and older games (they're often missing the real case, but nowadays games very rarely come with any extras). Honestly you don't even need Amazon or Best buys deals (both were 20% before, but are now gone), in order to generally save more money, if you just wait to buy digital. The digital stores have been having pretty drastic sales on quite a few games not long after they are released (and thats for exclusives). Look at assassins creed Odyssy for instance. I am getting it delivered to me for free, for $27 total. It's like......3 months? After it was released...not exactly sure how many but less then 6 for sure. That is less then half the price if I had bought it on release from gamestop etc. I believe the digital version was $30 on psn, and it was the same price on green man gaming. I had amazon credit so I got the ps4 version but honestly I probably should have just spent the extra for the PC version since it's easier to play. What is really killing gamestop? The simple fact that by the time they are giving any kind of actual discount on used games at all (and not selling it for $5 less then full retail) there is almost always a sale on the new game that is cheaper then the used versions at gamestop. What is more, if the game is available on steam (and more and more of them are), you know for a fact if you wait you'll get it for at least 50% off, the question is just will you wait for a 75% sale (which can take a few years) or not. Honestly i believe it's mostly a response to used game sales, since the game creators were loosing money big time on it, and they realized it. This way they get a large majority of the profits, but......gamestop has banked on used sales for a long time and without them, they are in serious trouble. I wish the gaming community and specifically the companies making and producing the games would "rescue" gamestop in some way, but allowing them to actual make a profit on new sales, but it's not likely to happen. The only way to really do that is to charge less for games sold at gamestop (so gamestop can make a profit), and that is never going to happen. --- "did you steal my f***in signature" Helly <cite>wolfy42 posted [p:913394012] in Gamestop i...

Most of the time it is only to stop illegal copies of games from being played, though I know Ubisoft added constantly active call in DRM to Child of Light, breaking the game on PS3 unless you disabled your internet connection, since otherwise it can't keep up and issues keep popping up. -_- Mercenaries 2 is the same, it tries to contact a now dead server if you are online, and will fail to start the game. But at least they didn't do constant checks, so it wasn't bogging down the system with bullshit when the server existed. <cite>Revelation34 posted...</cite> <quote><cite>EclairReturns posted...</cite> <quote>I can still remember the time I bought Tales of Berseria for forty American dollars. They took it out of another case, put it in the original case, and was so annoyed at them for expecting me to pay full MSRP price that much money for a game that has been clearly used, I decided that from then on, I would never buy a new game from them again.</quote> It wasn't used. They're just shitty and open all their cases to put the games in those cases. Nobody ever played any of those.</quote> This stuff, indeed it wasn't used copies. All stores do that here, people can't steal anything more than an empty case this way.</quote> ... Copied to Clipboard!

I only ever buy my games when there is a digital sale, and I have never once paid full price for a digital game. The biggest con for me about physical games is storage space in my apartment. I don't have a lot of room to store things. The only real reason that I see to own a physical disc is just if you are a collector who absolutely has to own a disc. I used to have that collector mentality too, and I once thought I would never buy digital. Yet as I have gotten older, the whole collector mentality has mattered to me less and less, and I have now gone full digital. I just really don't care about collecting things like I once did in my youth. <cite>rogerskg1979 posted [p:913407078] in Gamestop i...

You can stop yourself from getting "newsed" (last copy display case games) games if you simply refuse to buy them. Of course that only applies for you as it seems that most game buyers going to GS have no issue with such things. As for me I'm more of a clearance game buyer and always have been. I can count on one hand the number of titles I've bought at launch in these past two gens. Everything else has been clearance or otherwise low price buys from Walmart, Kmart, Sears, Target, Toys R Us, Gamestop and a bunch of Amazon Warehouse Deals pre-owned stuff. Couple those with the former Gamer's Club Unlocked coupons from Best Buy's now defunct program and that was at one point another good place to grab cheap stuff. There's far, far too many deal sites out there that you can check on to find deals on these things to ever end up paying full price or putting up with the policies of companies which have NO reason to change them due to so many of their customers just not giving a damn how their products they buy look. --- I'm not loyal to any company or brand, especially the Cult Of Houser(GTA games) or Sony(PS3/PS4/etc). Defending corporations is absurd. <cite>ThrillKillFan posted [p:913407126] in Gamestop i... [t:77259966]...</cite> <quote>Gamestop is not that bad if you are careful with what you buy from them.

Amazon is steadily cutting incentive to buy games and charging more for Prime, and Best Buy did away with Gamer's Club Unlocked entirely. Gamestop is a great place to get used and older games (they're often missing the real case, but nowadays games very rarely come with any extras). I got PS4 Borderlands Handsome collection there for around $10. They may suck but that's a great deal for what it is. --- My roguelike, Equin: The Lantern! https://store.steampowered.com/app/547980/Equin_The_Lantern/ <cite>Black_Crusher posted [p:913409134] in Gamestop i...
