Wow, this is what GameStop has come to? I went there the other day, it’s mostly just funko pop shit nowadays.
They were saved from bankruptcy (a well deserved bankruptcy) by deranged redditors hoping for another squeeze that will never come. Say thank you!
>>747581883holy fuck Gamestop really has changed, they used to own Kongregate... fucking Gamestop.
>>747581883>thought you made a subtle photoshop jokehttps://newsroom.2k.com/news/nbar-2k27-cover-athletes-revealed-victor-wembanyama-caitlin-clark-and-derrick-rose>his neck is actually just that fucking longanyways, can't really blame them that they became more centered around, physical is dying especially the second hand market
>>747582220second hand market died because fucks tried to gatekeep with ridiculous costs.
The CEO guy said game sales are only 12% of their revenue awhile back.Its a trash store and the upselling has actually managed to get worse. I was in there last week and the cashier was essentially trying to bully this dude into paying more for something, anything.>Do you want to renew your Pro Membership.No.>Why not?I dont want to.>I highly recommend disc protection on this item.Nah I'm good.>What you dont want to protect what you buy?I think itll be ok.>Anything you are looking to preorder.I have all the pre-orders I want for now>You say for now but what about later?I just left.
>>747582107there's a doc about Paul Dano buying the stock and making millions off gamespot, it came out around covid craze
>>747581883For me, it was Electronics Boutique. Also Media Play, Fry's, and Hastings.
>>747582107>Saved from bankruptcyDidn't that shit happen like 2 or 3 times? Like every time the stock bottoms our people mass buy the shit out of it pumping the price back up like crazy
>>747581883It's been like this for over a decade, where have you been?
>>747583484Yeah, day traders keep using it to short stocks and make a ton of money. It's funny because usually the company ends up dissolving or whatever but gamestop just won't die.
>>747581883This is how most of the pc game shops look around here too. Last 5 years most customer ended up buying games digitally. Well doesn't help that some of them pulled ass moves like cancelling SSD order and put it up again on their store for triple the price during the start of ram apocalypse.
>>747581883Don't worry anon, when it finally dies there'll be no more physical media and you'll own nothing and be happy!
I like gamestop. I use my $5 a month coupon to buy cheap games. They have good shirts on occasion. Idk I'm retarded I guess
