It is rather ignorant. On top of humble bundles and Steam sales, Xbox and PlayStation have sales almost every week on digital games. Homeboy must be living under a rock.

Sure they do. 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.

No Denuvo at least then.

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.

It use to be that that only happened if they sold out of everything else and only the display copy was left. Now they fucking do it with every copy which is fucking moronic. Except for the games in the glass case of course.

Yeah. Steam and GoG never have sales after all.

I got PS4 Borderlands Handsome collection there for around $10. They may suck but that's a great deal for what it is.

I remember getting the pre order version of Assassin's Creed:Revelations from them too. Not really a good deal but just surprising they sold it like that.

Here, all covers are on display and discs under the counter. They aren't give the storage space to keep everything in cases elsewhere, at least in the three EB stores I've been at. The only time I've gotten sealed copies is when I've been in the store when they get the box of orders.

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?

Lets use Assassin's Creed Odyssey as an example.

It's currently on sale new at gamestop for 59.99 and used for 54.99.

Meanwhile I bought it form Amazon during a sale for $27.

Now they did have it on sale at gamestop as well, but it was more expensive (mid 30's?). Steam had it for 40, and might still. Green man gaming had it for 30 something and I had a coupon to bring it down to within a few dollars of $27 (should have just done that but I had amazon credit).

The thing that is killing gamestops used sales is the very common trend at this point for games to go on sale almost right out of the gate, and to go on serious sale the next time there is a holiday/summer/winter sale etc. Now everyone has them, not just steam. PSN for instance had tons of games on sale recently, Xbox does the same etc. Heck there are even humble bundles etc for PS4 now as well.

Point is, why buy used when you can get a new copy , cheaper usually, within a fairly short period of time, while you still have 240 million other games you already own but have not played or fully played. That, I think, is what's killing gamestop.

Oh and get it either digitally or delivered to your door free.

Gamestop pretty much has a monopoly on game stores at this point, and there is a ton of potential there. They can not beat the prices/sales and to some degree convienence of things like steam/amazon etc, but what they can do is give a physical location for people to meet who like video games.

They used to be that, there were sign up sheets at gamestops for video game tournaments, some of them had DnD sign up sheets as well etc. People would drop by just to chat about games, at least at the best gamestops.

They had stations set up to try games as well, and would let you try any of them. PSVR for instance is cheap at this point, you could get it for only $200 recently with stuff with it, yet I don't know of one gamestop with a PSVR set up (and you don't even need it hooked to a screen, just the camera set up/connected to a ps4....seriously easy to have people test it).

I mean, done right, gamestop could lead the way into the future of physical games and be the mecca of gamers who still actually communicate with real people. The company has massive potential, but it's stuck in a rut I think. They need to get away from making most of their profit from used games, and start making those used games compete with sales etc, as right now it's just plain silly to buy them half the time.

Also you don't need 3 gamestops within a 5 mile radius, one larger store, that has things like PSVR you can try, and space for tournaments, even a table to play card games etc on, much like board game stores do, will make it convienent to pick up a game there when you are going to meet friends etc anyway. It solves the problem of dealing with digitial/free delivery from amazon etc, if people are already heading to your store anyway.

For instance, in Olympia there are 2 gamestops within 3 blocks of each other, one at the mall, and 1 3 blocks away down cooper point road. I have gone to both, but i don't think it's really neccesary to have two of them so close. Honestly, while you do get decent sales from the mall, I think it would be better to take the much larger amount of money you pay to have a store in the mall, the money they spend on the other store, and get one store at least twice as large (but probably 3 times) for the same price.

Focus on getting the community to come to your store, for reasons besides just buying the games. Ensure you hire people who really love games, and don't pressure them to sell used games etc. Pressure them to help the customer find what they like, and enjoy chatting/talking with the customers about video games, that alone will get many to come into the stores.

So many cool people work for gamestop and have worked for gamestop, and I always wanted to work at a store like that myself, it just didn't pay enough. Perhaps a rich gamer will come along and buy it and make changes, but I do think we really need a gamer store, which hopefully brings gaming communities together around the world. It's too easy to just get lost in the internet and almost never interact with real people anymore.

And other places, like Amazon, Best Buy etc. Gamestop usually comes close to the same deals as Amazon/Best buy etc, but .....it doesn't change the fact that buying used...doesn't make sense if you can get it new for less, next time there is a sale. It doesn't matter if it's at gamestop or best buy, although......it does matter if it's at Amazon or Steam, or PSN etc, as people can get it from home.

Convienence is important....you have to give incentives or a reason for someone to drive out of their way to buy a game.

Well, for the delivery part, thats because I dont want to wait. Why wait days when I can get it that day?

But it also depends on the game because usually, I get games when they come out. But if I waited like a month, and it was still the same price digital, but I could get it used for like 60%-80% of its normal price, then I think buying it used would be a better deal. Maybe if I wait longer, its possible I could get a better deal. But why wait a couple months for it possibly dripping in price. And maybe not even lower than what I could have gotten it for. But it all depends. Id rather have physical, anyway...

Thats easy. At least in the case of Amazon. The incentive is you can play it that day. No waiting. Another incentive is if they want a physical copy.

I can attest to them selling opened games as new. They had a "sale" for a new game of the Dragon's Crown Pro Steelbook Edition. When I bought it the shrinkwrap was gone, and the box had already shown signs of wear.

The rare occasion I've had this happen they've always asked me if it was ok. and there are pros to it being sold as new. Well one at least. You get a longer time frame to get a refund. Used games only get 7 days.

I got the Banner Saga Trilogy from them a couple of months ago that was new and opened. I had a $10 rewards thingy so it was only $10 total though.

*snip*

Well, you're right to a degree. As a physical place for gamers to come it could easily have become something more than a simple store. However the fact is that it's a business first and it's a business run largely by people who care about stock prices and the like above all else. I would be shocked if more than half of their board of directors was anything more than 'casual' at best. The fact is that what they offer *could* be great since a physical copy holds multiple edges over digital copies (and digital also holds edges over physical) and buying used games is a great deal in comparison to having to pay full-price all the time for 'new' titles on games that are pretty... old... But the fact is that they're making multiple Blockbuster-style mistakes. That is to say mistakes that show that they don't have a clue as to what their audience really is and only care about profit margins.

First off is their treatment of old games. Say you want to pick up a copy of Fire Emblem 9 for the Gamecube. Nintendo hasn't released that on their digital store so you can't get it there and Nintendo doesn't really do stuff with other media's so you're stuck buying off of E-Bay. But imagine if Gamestop got into dealing with some of the REALLY old games? Like even just a simple display case. I bet they'd boost the number of customers by a decent bit. It would be also great if they offered a location to meet and greet other gamers physically. But the fact is that they're just gonna pin their hopes and dreams on used game sales and major releases, pick up a few things on the side to try and suppliment incomes, and then spiral around the drain.

so yeah if gamestop went out then for me that means walmart's the only place to get games offline and that's not a good thing with evidence like that

at least gamestop isn't so huge that the employees could be hiding anywhere and eventually you decide to forget about buying a game...

My last time shopping at GS was when they were charging $80 for used copies of Xenoblade and the Metroid Prime Trilogy on Wii. That was disgusting all on its own and there were allegations they were cracking open the rare new copies they got to mark them as used and jack up the price.

The fact that Sears may actually outlive GameStop says a lot.

But on the plus side by waiting it out I've gotten disc versions of games like Firewatch, Mighty 9, Alienation, Rush of Blood, Furi, Job Sim, etc.

What?

Lets use Assassin's Creed Odyssey as an example.

It's currently on sale new at gamestop for 59.99 and used for 54.99.

Meanwhile I bought it form Amazon during a sale for $27.

Now they did have it on sale at gamestop as well, but it was more expensive (mid 30's?). Steam had it for 40, and might still. Green man gaming had it for 30 something and I had a coupon to bring it down to within a few dollars of $27 (should have just done that but I had amazon credit).

I got AC Odyssey and the new TR for $27 each at GS for BF. Zon probably price matched 'em.

I see better prices than their used prices all the time. This is why you shop at multiple stores. Still I've gotten some great deals from GS by being smart about it.

I've never had a problem w/ Gamestop, and I've shopped at them in at least 4 states and at a few different locations in a couple of those states.

Got my last two consoles (PS4 and Switch) from them b/c they had the best deals.

They sell "new" games that have been opened for display use, but it's the last copy they have and at least in the one or two instances they sold such to me, they told me up front it was the display copy and opened when I called to ask if they had the game in stock.

They're not usually the cheapest place to buy games, same for any brick and mortar store. And their used game buy back prices are generally low, though I never sell my games back so I don't care about that (nor is anyone forcing you to sell it back to them, either).

I'm sure some stores have had bad employees and some people have had bad experiences, but I just never understood the massive hatred towards this company.

Good. Death to retail.

I hear people complain about this all the time, but I've been to maybe 20 different Gamestops and I can't recall running into it even once. I might get greeted once when I walk in and they might check on me (or attempt to make conversation) once while I'm wandering, but it's not a constant thing and they've never bugged me for pre-orders when going out the door. Honestly, they often don't even ask about pre-orders when I'm buying something.

I've had a guy there try to upsell a paid membership to their Powerup rewards program, for which I've always had the free membership that doesn't expire, by telling me, when he was about to ring me up with a line waiting behind me, that my "Gamestop membership" expired. When I ask what membership, he went on to say how you get discounts, and extra points, free DLC, etc. with it.

So I asked, "You mean the Powerup rewards?" He says yes and I asked wasn't it free and don't I still have it. He goes yes but tries to upsell the benefits again and I said no thanks. He then keeps saying things like "Don't you like free things" and "But you get a discount on games." I had to tell him no thanks like 8 times.

This was whenever Dying Light came out.

There's some fallacy in your logic, seeing as how both amazon & gamestop exist right now, yet we still have mom'n'pop game shops. I don't see how getting rid of one would somehow make it worse for them. It's direct competition dying out. Sure some customers will go to amazon, but in my experience, a lot of people still like to go and physically pick up their games evidenced by the fact that so many people physically go into gamestop to buy their games. Can't do that on amazon.

I just had to Google it and on another forum one user mentioned it is because they don't want to risk actual discs being in the boxes while openly displayed which I can understand even if other retail stores do that. That being said, did you requested a sealed copy or just walked away?

I guess they'll file bankruptcy then ask the court to set aside millions for top exec bonuses.
