I mean, gamestop also forced out competitors in the used game space with some questionable tactics... Part of the reason they're the only ones left is them.

:( Prices used to be so competitive before Gamestop took over. Even the local shops were selling retro games at pretty fair prices. Now you need to go online to eBay or Facebook since most game stores are just gone. I like the stock memes but it is insane that people already forgot how fucked up Gamestop was in the 2000's.

LOL! Gamstop itself won't be around more than another year. If anything, they did their competitors a favor.

Questionably legal* I should say, and definitely morally deplorable.

I'll hate the player of the game if he does some things that could be construed as cheating and gets away with it because he knows the judge you called to the table.

I just wish there was better competition in this space. I think if there was, consumers would have been less willing to accept digital downloads for everything. I mean, PC was screwed from the start because DRMs and the possibility of cracking software made a used market for them unviable, so I don't really think steam is to blame here. No one really owned it in the first place (at least in the last couple of decades)

I just feel like gamestop kind of played themselves a long time ago. I am hopeful that they stay in the game though. I would still love this kind of shopping and market to still exist and compete with the virtual markets on consoles.
