With a lot of brick and mortar places going down, when will the only common video game store left in town go down? I know a lot of people don't like them so maybe that will help the decline as well.

I'd be surprised if they last longer than 10 years. They're being eaten up from every angle. Used games are the only reason they're still alive.

That's a pretty substantial reason, though. All money made through used is 100% theirs. There is no publisher involvement with used game sales.

Their stock is really down. In 2013, it was $56.53 per stock at it's high point, now it's $19.96 per stock. Their stocks have nearly lost two third of their value which is not really a good thing.

And if that continually shrinks as time goes on (which is likely is thanks to digital adoption increasing every year along with Games as a Service increasing in popularity) they don't have anything left to fall back on.

It's a single revenue stream, sure, but it's a strong one. Strong enough for them to partner with companies like Thinkgeek.
