GameStop CLOSING STORES!

I tend to be a super patient gamer (the only console I have is an original XBox).  I stopped buying games at GameStop when they stopped selling used original XBox games.  Maybe if I finally upgrade to a 360 I'll go back...

I'm mainly online now since my internet is better than it was before.  I usually go to Steam now.  

I have two EB Games stores that are both about a 10 minute walk, went to them a lot when I was was a kid and still went to them later on as well but with faster internet speed I have no need to go to them anymore. 

Now surprised about all the closing stores. 

With the ability to buy 1 digital copy for use on 2 Xbox consoles in the same household, I rarely ever pick up disc copies. It's an awesome benefit to be able to "share" Gold service. 

We have a similar issue where I live with there being several locations within close proximity of each other. It's never good news to hear that people are losing their jobs, but I think we could do without a few stores. 

I buy physical for consoles and digital for PC, pretty sure the last PC game I bought physical was Mass Effect 3. There is a certain satisfying feeling I get opening a new game that I don't get with downloads. Like physical books over digital; paper trumps digital.

I buy physical. BUT considering my closest Gamestop is in a bad neighborhood and the next closest one is 45 minutes away, AND because Amazon offers new games for 20% off, AND I know a place within walking distance that pays more for used games... Yeah I don't really care what happens to Gamestop at this point. It's been fun though.

I hate GameStop having worked at one before. I'll buy digital or buy physical games at a BestBuy or Target.

I buy physical, but I almost always use Amazon to get them. I'll generally only use gamestop if what I want is sold out at my initial go-to places (most recently, when all the Switch Pro controllers where out of stock).

If it does survive, it will get purchased by a larger company and downsized. That's what I think anyway
