GameStop may have faired better if they shifted a large portion of their business to PC sales; both pre-built and components. Staff their stores with people who are actually competent in IT, PC building, and PC gaming and they could have had someting great.
I prefer physical copies of games..Perhaps it’s just me 🤷🏻♂️
I only go to GameStop for desk figures, never games
I had to buy games online cause there are't any Gamestop stores in Puerto Rico anymore for years.
Sure, we still have Best Buy and Walmart, but half of the time, they don't have what I'm looking for in stock.
What they should be doing is becoming a “chill and play” spot, subscription service where you play the game, if you want to get the game and take it home you can buy it, there is food and other commodities there, while still seeking their funko pops and stuff.
Also in my game stop they don’t harass me with the extra stuff, they are very nice and they actually talk to you in a friendly way and joke around with you
Man I haven’t stepped foot in a gamestop for years
The new blockbuster
Only way they could possibly save it is to change to a retro store or like an arcade like place where u can pick games on the shelf to play in store so you can test out games your interested in before buying them 🤷🏽♂️
Honestly I went into GameStop as a kid because I didn’t have a debit card, only cash from doing yard work 😂so I couldn’t buy online.
And now I only go there if my gaming headset breaks and I don’t want to wait for a new one to be shipped to me.
I would LOVE to see how much profit physical discs would gain if everything virtual becomes subscription based
It's wild to have lived through the rise and now fall of video game stores. One of the first in my area was called Funcoland, whom printed their inventory on paper resembling a news paper with updated prices every 2 weeks. Eventually they became GameStop and that's when things began to go downhill for the customer experience.
Digital games are kinda horrible, the company can delete that forever. With physical you can keep it forever.
Good, 2$ for Portal 2? You gotta be kidding me
I miss going to GameStop with my dad and looking for games 🙁
Gamestop should go back to selling all consoles games physically. Ps1, ps2, GameCube, Nintendo, Xbox.
I meannn I got my series x at GameStop, there was these really cute girls workin the counter. Idk if it was jus my look but I was jus kinda flirting back and forth w them
I still occasionally go there, but I am really disappointed by the variety of games GameStop is selling currently.
They should go back to selling Xbox 360 and PS2 era games 😀 (if its even economically possible to purchase all those games cheaply)
I went into gamestop and asked them if they fix phones. They were so rude and said we don't fix anything
All gameetops in ireland closing
Only thing that can save GameStop is they hop in the pc gaming market and get every pc accessories
If all of gamestop is closing, then all game consoles needs to update that if game is installed by disc form, then the game should be accessed without the disc version, otherwise, they would pay more for the same game that's the digitial version. There should be at least a permanent 75% discount for the digitial version after the disc version.
Used games
It was a good run but it’s time guys, let it die
honesty gamestop might be able to make some money if they start focusing on reselling older games/retro games, there's still quite a community out there that looks around for old games and they could make good money off of it, the only problem is they'd need to get there hands on a lot of those retro games to sell them in the first place, instead of having them delivered like they do with recently released games
Store closing and everything must go sales is coming
well, what should they do? end the company? focus on online? its really not their fault people get their games online
This blueprint for a digital convenient world is really killing authentic vibes to actually have fun and enjoy life. Everything has to be centralized and dominated into one source. Life itself is trying to go somewhere
I plan to stay with physical games.
I've got 3 gamestops in my area and it's been 2 years since I've seen any of them open for business so hearing this company didn't crash and burn already is a shocker.
I went to game stop for monopoly 💀 😊
Even in Ireland Gamestop already is leaving and all of their 35 stores are closing. But we get really good half price sales because of it so its good
I went to my local gamestop to get Metroid Dread once, only to see that it was closed down. It's now become a shoe store.
If they went retro and sold games and consoles that aren't available online they might survive…
I'd go back if i could get a Gamecube and that type of stuff.
Off topic but you should make a video about CoD getting rid of nickmercs skin.
Digital games are cheaper: Going for brick and mortar, I have to spend money for gas and pay for the state tax which can bring the price up to ~7$
GameStop: Is dying
Me: Oh no! Anyway…
Went to one the other day….after at least 2 years definitely nostalgic
I’m actually kinda sad to see it failing. I constantly look at GameStop stores with fond memories.
As long as walmart sells games physically im fine
Umm I went to a GameSpot yesterday and saw a lot of things that interested me so yeah I did enjoyed it
Maybe id visit gamestop a little more if they didn’t give me $3 for an entire video game collection
They would thrive if they shifted to a retro game store
I just went for gift cards and merch
GameStop fell off
It’s sad because the GameStop by my apartment is such an exception from all the other ones. It’s always a great experience there.
I only go for Funko Pops…. That's all man😂😂😂
