Buy the dip!

I’m always amazed by how the store near (Canada) me is always full. I don’t know I people are there to buy merch or what, but they’re never empty.

tempest,

I go there to buy Nintendo games because I don’t trust Nintendo not to do weird crap with their digital goods.

Dudewitbow,

basically nintendo and sony are dubious with digital,. since they dont host their own CDN, so the store is more prone to being shut down earlier than virtually all other competitors.

I’m old and buy physical whenever possible so I can trade them in when I’m done. It will suck when console online stores have the monopoly - I might have to go PC Master Race when that happens (complete with eyepatch).

Cethin,

As someone who’s been PC only for some time over a decade, I love digital. Having to store disks and search for them when I wanted them sucked. It’s a shame used isn’t an option, but that was never a great value to consumers anyway. It saved some money, but it was mostly sucked up as profit by whoever was reselling them.

I don’t even have a disk drive on my computer. I have several fairly large drives so I can keep a good number of games installed at a time, and load times are faster than from a disk too. I couldn’t imagine going back. There is the risk of losing it all when a storefront goes down, but that’s already the case with modern physical games which have always online components or DRM locked to a network.

More importantly, hows AMC and silver doing? Truly those will make us rich

Templa,

MOASS!!! 😵‍💫

Moneo,

That subreddit was simultaneously the funniest and creepiest subreddit I’ve ever visited. It’s hilarious how sure they are that they will all be billionaires but I always got the creeps when thinking about how I was reading the comments from a bunch of people just throwing their life savings down the toilet.

If it's any consolation, i feel a heavy dose of those posters weren't buying anything. "Bought another 700 this week on the dip!"

Sure you did, bud. You're totally not trying to make more bagholders.

ramble81,

I bought a few thousand dollars because I could and I’m just sitting on it because I’m very curious what’s going to happen. I really believe the float has been locked up for a while and there’s some serious shenanigans going on. I either will strike it rich or at some point throw in the towel and write off the losses on my taxes. But I look back at when everyone wrote off Bitcoin and look at it now.

I thought it said “understandable,” and I was like, “yeah.”

I mean, they're profitable for the first time since 2018. Not least thanks to a huge amount of cost cutting the past two or three years. This is more of that.

This is what everyone here is missing. They were unprofitable before and are net positive now. The cost cutting and business changes are working.

SpaceNoodle,

They were spiralling for years.

They should merge with RadioShack and that company that rented DVD’s out of ATM’s in front of gas stations.

As a Mexican I always loved visiting GameStop when I was in the USA, there was simply not a good replacement for GameStop here at those times, now there are some, but they barely look like a videogame store (full with merchandising and stuff), and as always Amazon MX has cheaper prices than local stores, hell even it has cheaper prices than Target or GameStop (compared when I was there last time some months ago).

What! But they did absolutely nothing to prevent that!

I’d do my part in buying games from them more if they didn’t block my home network from their website lol. Yes it’s behind a VPN, and no I’m not turning it off to give up my privacy just to buy something I can get from stores that won’t block me.

I honestly used to buy games from them a lot, but once their website became inaccessible, I sorta forgot about them. Surely I’m not the only one right…?

teawrecks,

I stopped buying games from them when I went in the store and there weren’t any games. It’s just a bunch of FunkoPop garbage.

That narrative LEGO thing sounds like a fancy way of saying that it’s a branching story with several outcomes like Detroit: Become Human, but maybe less linear? Which still sounds like a cool approach for a shooter.

Bummer that we have to wait on the patch for the Xbox version.

A lot of performance issues I was having are fixed since the patch.

Nice, can’t wait to pick it up when it’s $15

Thorgs,

Lately I bought a lot of AAA Games from the past couple year’s for 12€ up to 20€. It is such a better experience. They work (almost bug free) and you get 30+ Hours out of them on the first run. And when you only get 10 Hours or so out of them and don’t feel like investing more time into them, I tend to not have the big buyers remorse effect like with games that cost up to 100€ plus 20€ every other month or so for the next DLC/Battle Pass that should just have been an update or part of the main game from the start.
