Will you be sad when Gamestop goes out of business?

I have never been to a Gamestop, but I heard it is an American icon that swallowed up most of the little guys

I loved Electronic Boutique

I don’t mind GameStop, I’ve been a pro member ever since they started giving the free $5.00 a month coupons, so I go every month to get some eShop credit, and occasionally preorder something. I’ll miss the free money, but that’s about it. If it wasn’t so close to my house, I likely wouldn’t even do it.

Cartagia:
Nah.  Their decline has been so steady over such a long period of time that it's already hard to remember when I liked shopping there.

kashell:
I doubt it. I have nostalgia for FuncoLand, Babbages, EB, etc. and I do remember being excited about finding new Game Stops when traveling, but these days I hardly think about going/shopping there.

That said, I do have two pre-orders from there for next month so they're still somewhat important, I guess?
