Will you be sad when Gamestop goes out of business?
wartoy:
Not really I'm mostly interested in retro stuff first. And newer games second.
dhaabi:
No, I won't.
I didn't ever regularly shop at GameStop, but once they started selling new games without the plastic wrap and then began adding pricing labels directly to the cover, I stopped going altogether.

I can count the number of game's I've purchased from Gamestop on one hand, so no, I won't miss them. I pretty much purchase all of my modern games from retailers like Target or Meijer or online places like Amazon or PlayAsia.

I honestly don't remember the last time I saw a discount at GameStop that made me want to pick up something. At least not in store.

When they run their promotion- buy a certain number of titles, get 50% off you can get some pretty wild deals- Gamestop this past winter was crazy- so many good deals- I cleaned up. They did buy 2 get 1 free with new games too for the first time- 50% off 1st party nintendo switch and so much more. In store and online. And when you combine that with some of the trade-in specials they run- they are so poorly optimized- people were buying titles like back 4 blood and no man's sky and getting $15-$20 more a game by trading them into a different location. Literally free money.
It is possible to get some absolutely insane deals at gamestop if you pay close attention. But usually only in the holiday season- otherwise I ignore Gamestop for the first 9 months of the year usually.

That's exactly why I stopped going.
