How is GameStop still in business? Worthless establishment

[BonnieMcFarlaneMe2]

I had to get a birthday present for my friend’s son so I went there to possibly buy him a game and a gift card. Half the store is Funko Pop shit. Okay fine, I’ll get him a $50 Xbox card but while I’m here I’ll buy the new NHL game. “If you ever want a new game it needs to be preordered. I can order one for you and it’ll be here in like a week.” I’ll just buy the digital version. Nice business model, stupid.

I was thinking the same thing the other day. I don't know how any stores selling physical games still exist. PC games everyone gets digitally through Steam and console stuff, most people buy online.

I’d rather have the disc for sure. I usually just buy them on eBay. I don’t play many videogames anymore. My time is extremely valuable as evidenced by how often I post here.

Last gaystop I went to was located right by a Walmart. In the current year where no console has any gaymes you could probably find everything newly released plus the Fucko pops in Walmart itself.

The only niche I can see is selling possibly-second hand shit from older gen consoles to enthusiasts. There's a place near me (not a chain) that does that and it seems to do well.

That and FunkoPop shit. Unfortunately gaming enthusiasts also tend to be redditor consoomers.

Same around here. Like 25% of the GameStop was empty haha.

Gamestop is gross. The only people I've seen go in there look like their diet consists of Doritos, Snickers ice cream, and gas station nacho cheese with Mountain Dew on the side. I can't imagine the smell.

Dude behind the counter was such a smarmy cocksucker too. “Uhh huh huh huh you’d have to have preordered that if you wanted it. We sell out of new games very quickly.” You’re 40 and work at GameStop, eat a dick.

I saw a nideo in my suggested videos about Gaystop opening a Gaystop Retro store and how awful it was.I didn't watch it.

There's a lot of crossover in media consoomer circles but by themselves gaymers are the stupidest consoomers ever. Gaymers are cattle.

Plus they’re always out of stock of Battletoads.

WWAW only going to Gamestop cause they had Pokémon exclusives that you could only access if you connected your DS to their Wifi?

I stopped playing Gameboy after the Advanced but every once in a while I consider buying a 3DS for Pokemon but I don’t like grinding for videogames. My cousin has one and it’s pretty cool.

Had no idea, but that's pretty cool.

Last Pokémon games worth playing were Black/White 1 and 2 and they were for the DS. 3DS onwards, they made the games super easy and incredibly boring.

I was never a huge fan of the games in general tobehonestwitchya.

I’m shocked people out there in 2024 are still buying CD’s.

I’m actually annoyed that my brand new car doesn’t have a cd player. I didn’t think to look because I assumed it would have one.

Because they have a cult of retarded millennials who can't stop buying their stock and fantasizing about being instant millionaires because of the 2021 meme stock bubble, so they're able to keep selling new shares.

I assumed that ended. I haven’t been on Reddit since they banned Cumtown.
