$415.3 FUCKING MILLION lost in 3 months

Plenty of them still make money, I'm assuming gamestop is just reevaluating its strategy and getting rid of stores that are too expensive or ones that weren't making sales. They still sell a lot of pre owned games and collectibles

When will these stories get bankrupt? I hate those faggots that run those stories.

amazon and ebay are killing retail not Trump lmao

Thats bs. There were tons of game stores that did this before gamestop. Gamestop just gave you more money at the beginning. Now they are scamming people and didn't expect older stuff for the longest time till they realized retro stuff was selling for stupid prices.

Hey guys i think there is a sale on? What do you want?

Attached: sale.jpg (259x194, 14K)

No. They make mega on toys and other non-physical game stuff (shirts, posters, keychains, etc). They went deep into it and their stores are much worse then they were pre 2015. People are not buying physical as much either, even ma n pop shops are suffering in areas where you could have 5+ smaller stores in a 40-50miles radius. Digital hurts them all.

Oh, also places like Wal-Mart taking big hits and selling things at $50 weeks after release does nothing for other stores that NEED the extra $10. BBY, GS, Target, etc, do any one of them sell even some shit party game like Smash Ultimate at under $60 yet new? No. Wal-Mart was a few months after launch.

Let's get a bit closer just to make sure

>turn 3/4 of the store into le nerd culture xD

I haven't been inside a GameStop for years thanks to the internet (more specifically, pic related). I can just download a game and play it in a matter of minutes.

I might visit a local store again for nostalgia's sake before it closes down.

Kill yourself.

>This

Wal-Mart has games around 50$, why the fuck is game stop so greedy with adding 10 more dollars?

Probably not since GameStop’s prices are usually uncompetitive online and they take abysmal care of their product.

The only way GS could retain a niche would be convenience and good customer service to justify the markup similar to Chick Fil A in the QSR space, but this is GameStop we’re talking about. Even if they completely nailed everything overnight, they’d have to swim against over a decade of negative customer experiences.

>2000
Selling video games, even having an online store to order from and have delivered
>2008~

>2017
Selling Funko Pops and losing lots of money, mostly giving up on asking customers if they want to sign up for the Power-Up subscription, a scant few stores are actually in good locations and stock up on more niche games people in the area want.

>>sell new games with the plastic seal off
This is probably the worst thing they've done. I stopped going to GS after they tried selling me a already opened game with one of their display cases on the shelf. I thought they were joking at first because it was nearly 10 years ago and unheard of. After the dude rang it up and put it in the bag I was like ummm thats used I wanted new. And his response "this is new, no one's used it before". I just laughed and walked right out the store and went to target next door to buy the game.

I guess the Game...just stopped.

Yeah screw all those guys trying to provide for their families haha that's what they get for daring to ask me for a magazine subscription or *checks notes* disk insurance? What?

Retail has been dying for a while. Why would you pay $58.99 to gamestop for a used game that you can easily find under $40 on FB marketplace or eBay? And yes, eBay is still relevant even if Amazon is kicking its ass.

You're just being dishonest, user. Gamestop has been widely hated and losing business for years now.

Eh early GameStop it was pretty useful and fun to walk in and buy games. Over time it just got worse and worse everytime I entered. Fuck that place I’d rather order off amazon or just preloaded at 11:00 and play instantly.

They should have begun investing in an online store for pc, or a subscription based streaming model literally a decade ago. They got too comfortable like Blockbuster did and didn't get with the times, which in business is a must

Honestly good riddance. Garbage store. Maybe the niggers who work at Gamestop can get in some last-minute looting of "lost merchandise" when they liquidate everything. That'll be the only good thing Gamestop has provided in years.

Fuck that, most of them are ran by perverted creeps.

eBay is honestly better than Amazon for used games since everybody actually takes pictures of what they’re selling.

Amazon is better for buying new stuff.

He had nothing to do with them refusing to adapt in the gaming retail market. The gaming market has been shifting to digital for years now and it's their fault they didn't hop on board, not out presidents lol

>being this mad
>not realizing that Gamestop killed themselves with their shitty return/resell policy

Cope hard.

I hate going into GameStop, but the one advantage they have around me is that they have a much larger selection of slightly older or niche titles that I can't find at Best Buy or Walmart

Go kill yourself, you takes-new-games-out-of-boxes turd sniffing, dick niggler.

lol you mean it

Honestly I just use GS now to steal game cases so I can keep my limited edition boxes on display without moving them around all the time.
Agreed, Amazon is best for new, ebay best for used. Although retro is becoming difficult to deal with. I haven't bought n64 game for years with all the repo carts that have been flooding the market.

>Gamestop is garbage
>Mom 'n' Pop stores (that are actually run by millennials) always price match their beat-up games to ebay and Amazon so it's pointless to even go there
Brick and mortar stores deserve it. I'm not paying $40 for Mario Kart 64 faggot.

Gamestop's garbage. Bought a game where the only new copy they had had the discs and DLC voucher removed to display the case on the shelf, and the voucher was already redeemed when I tried using it. Pretty sure an employee used it, but they defend their bullshit.

I went in to ask for Senran Kagura on PS4 and the clerk looked at me like I was some alien from another galaxy
If you don't have knowledgeable associates of course you will fail

This. I stop by once or twice a year just to skim through my two local Gamestops (fucking right across the street from one another) which are basically all bargain bins. Got a lot of great 5/6/7th gen titles for dirt cheap over the past fifteen years.

You sound like a 40 year old white woman

They decided to compete with digital download they would sell collectibles.

I buy games, just not from GameStop.
So many digital only games on top of stores actually carrying new, sealed games.

Sounds like you're quite the grumpy customer!

>Funko Pops
Who buys these? Who looks at these things and thinks "Hey, I really want to put this on display in my home."?

People who can't afford nendoroids

>Mom 'n' Pop stores (that are actually run by millennials) always price match their beat-up games to ebay and Amazon so it's pointless to even go there
I primarily go to mine to get stuff repaired. I think that I’ve only ever bought actual game stuff from them twice.

They're okay if you want a figurine for your niche tastes that nobody else made a statue for. A lot of the older ones I've bought have went up huge in value, I just don't have the heart to sell them.

I don't go crazy with them like how some people buy walls of boxes of Funko Pops though, fuck that.

Its not just gamestop. All physical retail stores are dying. Malls will soon not be a thing, most are abandoned.

Everything will just be warehouses and delivery in 50 years

You don't have to. Everyone else paying what they want means your poor self is left to the side. A game is worth what people pay, not what you can afford.

Retail has been on the decline since at least 2010. But I guess that was Trump's fault too. Or Obama's. Couldn't possibly be the rise of Amazon or sites like it, nope. Not at all. Must be Trump because Trump = everything bad ever.

Market force dictates that you evolve or die.

They used to be the main way to buy games in the 90s and early 2000s

Seeing as how their shelf was full of unsold games, I think they might just be greedy jews. Anyway I bought an Evercart, far superior.

if GameStop wanted my business they would have acknowledge that if I didn't want to buy a $60 dollar game at launch I'm not going to want to spend $60 on that very same game a year or more later.

Literally what is the point when you can get games cheaper and faster sent directly to your home, usually breaking street date as well?

Yeah and they tried to give me $26.77 for a box containing all 85 of the PS2 games I owned, all of which would resale for thirty or more. Fuck GameStop and their greedy exploitative ways.

My country doesn't even have physical media stores anymore. EVERYONE orders online. In fact, my friend's uncle ran one of the biggest vidya/music chains in the country for over a decade before sales didn't even cover the cost of the locale rent. Physical media is alive, but physical stores are dead.

Jokes on you, I pirate all my games.

Bro! Meeeeee toooooo!

Rent free

Recommend searching their website for older games if you wanna collect physical discs. Bought AC Phantasma and both Megaman legends.

The GS at my mall is just sad. Games take a backseat to toys and clothes. And it now takes 10 minutes to trade in a game.

Maybe youre leaving important details out, because you come off quite badly in this story

GameStop SHOULD fall. The problem is there won't be anything to take their place.

If they wanted to survive they would start pandering to foreveralone figurine collectorfags.

That ain't micro center.

>walk into business
>business is insulting their customers
>don't want to do business with them anymore
How does *he* look bad?

GameStop is going under because I come in every week to buy a used game, play it for 6 days and 22 hours, then return it for a full refund.

Only retarded non-whites who are too stupid to follow with technological development visit these stores. If you walk by any Gamestop in Sweden for example the only thing you'll see are arabic mommys boys with their burqa mothers, or gangs of african YOUFS.

because he's obviously not giving the full story

It's sad just how many people actually do get Funkos.
Even fucking worse, Gamestop actually has stock of much much better figures, toys and other far more appealing-looking merchandise online, but all you ever see in the physical stores are Funkos lining the shelves and amiibos in the Nintendo section.

There's absolutely no point in these stores, especially here in my country where every other electronics store also carries games and consoles which are usually about 10 bucks cheaper than they are in GS.

You're welcome.
Tick tock physicalfags.
Soon your plastic boxes will be a thing of the past.

Someone help me understand funco guys, its driving me crazy. Like the designs are innocuous and I can see having one of something i really like on my desk at work or whatever. But to just buy them indiscriminately? Surely this guy isnt that big a fan of Charlie Brown or Pete's Dragon or Yogi Bear, so why buy little statues of them and (here's the part that really confuses me) LEAVE THEM IN THE BOX so you cant even see most of the figure.

This never happened. I'm not even defending their values but your numbers .just be exaggerated by a lot. Ps2 doesn't have that many games worth $30 now. I did trade an nes with over 30 games to funcoland for Croc for Playstation once. Big regret

And once your digital stores go down in 15 years, your $60 rentals will be a thing of the past too.

Those 41 reviews (15 actual posts and not just a score) the site has for the Funko are fucking ridiculous. Half of them are "Name1234" usernames that are barely capable of stringing together English, so they're padding those fucking reviews with Chinese bots on the fucking Gamestop website of all places. The other half read like literal autists who genuinely collect Funkos or "bought this for my wife's daughter SO COOL BIG FAN".

Reformat the store to sell videogames, board games, and trading cards. Then have a good sized area to host tournaments for the card games.

Wow it's now a local games store with better marketing, better sales, better curators, and now customers can look at your products for hours debating a purchase or not.

WOW ITS LIKE THE STORE IS NOT RUN BY RETARDS. FUCK IT, UST SELL FUNKO POPS!

Can someone explain the meaning behind this quote?
>"We're at the end of the console cycle"
Uh, no we aren't. The Switch has barely been out, and the next PS and MS systems haven't even been teased with trailers yet, let alone being revealed.

Also, every reason in the article ends up sounding like a out of date analysis excuse, from a analyst that is always wrong:
>"Its because physical media is dying"
>"Its because people stopped buying consoles and are waiting for the next generation to be revealed"
>"Its because digital is the future"

Fucking stop and just admit the truth, when you treat your employees like a workhorse, where you only promote the most scummy people that got great sales, and fire the honest ones that didn't lie, this is the future you create. The industry isn't a fault for your failure Gamestop, you are for encouraging employees to rob and cheat as much as possible if they hope to avoid being fired.

You sound offended and possibly bothered and maybe on the edge of anger?

But not mad...

well done sir.

they're definitely gamestopping ha

When the only relevant console news is hardware speculation about an upcoming MS/Sony console, then the retail market calls it the end of a generation.

Jeez.. even with all the Nintendo shill bucks, and they still going bankrupt!
I guess if they change their store to NINTENDO WORLD SHOP, BUT MORE OVERPRICED, it will really get them to buy more junk!

A to Z guarantee means I get my money back on Amazon no matter what excuse I want to give on being dissatisfied. So why would Amazon having a monopoly on physical games be a bad thing? Because, god forbid, you have to wait a few extra days? Or is this going to be another slippery slope fallacy that you act like is written in stone?

They bother people way too fucking much. It isn't a surprise people got tired of going into these stores with the hustling they force their employers to do to customers.

That's funny. I use a cheap 3rd party Xbox 360 controller for playing some PC games. I had a dream last night it broke, so I drove to a Gamestop to get a new one. They were charging $13, so I said, hold on, let me check at the XBox store, I'll be right back. So at the XBox store, this guy sweeps me up real fast. He says they got two controllers, one is there standard controller (like $60) and then they have this new controller. He wants to show me,and he pulls out this tiny thing, it looked like a maggot but it was only a millimeter long. Well he puts it on my pointer finger and it digs in and leaves a space like a splinter. I groan and think I'll just get it out later with some tweezers. He says, yeah, I'm not very good with that controller! I guess it was time to close up shop, cuz one of the female employees said I needed to leave so another employee could eat her out. I offered to eat her out, and she obliged, and then I ate out one other employee, gathered my stuff, and left to Game stop and bought my controller.
That maggot was weird but other than that it was a good dream.

Yeah super cool economy with a trillion dollar deficit bro

Gamestop was never that bad, only clickbait youtubers and social retards think so and blow it out of proportion because it one of the few places they got social interaction. The place is just like any other store aside from having to see ugly nerd customers.

That said, not surprising it's dying, digital is more popular. Sad thing overall though, physical stores are becoming more and more obscure which I wouldn't really consider a healthy thing for our society overall.

They pulled a sears, they had a huge footprint in the gaming market but then did nothing to innovate and slowly watched everything go online and stream without keeping up. The stock is fucking dead.

People who live alone and never have anyone over that has tits.

Funko Pops are just shittier Nendos

If A girl is turned away by you interests and hobbies she was never going to be worth your time anyway. Like getting mad they enjoy makeup and buying 48 pairs of shoes.

thank god, hope they die soon completly. gamestop is shit

What's the chances this retard actually put money into stocks, a 401k, or a roth ira?

next to none he's got the nu male open mouth

>implying he or 80% of millenials will ever live to retire comfortably

there's honestly no reason for millenials to save for a doomed future. i'd be surprised if these savings and investment institutions will still be around in 10 years.

what if there is no girl in the world who agrees with your hobbies?

i'd buy a 1,000 amiibo before id sell my soul and purchase a funko, shit is literal garbage

GameStop could dominate by selling new games for $50 and below but they won't because they're cunts. Just an FYI for those who don't know, GameStop pays $20-$30 for new releases.

They bought Kongregate the flash game website

as if hosting the crud of the neighborhood for hours in your store is a good way to do business

They already do that with the stinky autists that come hang out daily. May as well diversify to other hobbies instead of trying to shill worthless plastic figures

Actually based

Good. Some fat neckbeard was describing the borderlands 3 trailer to me a few months ago when I was picking up a game. When I told him I never played he started describing the plot and I had to tell him I dont care I just want my game.

Good riddance.
I prefer physical over digital, but GameStop is the last store I'd ever use to buy the games I want.
Their pricing isn't competitive, their service is a nightmare, the selection and availability is abysmal, and they don't give back to the community.
The only reason you'd ever go there is to get something to >greentext.

Don't you mean grogghnaurld harrumph?

I need the new RoseTico before they close the store!

I wish Amazon would die off already.

Thank you Ma'am.

Yea, they see the writing on the wall and have indicated they are going to become the church for local gamers. Hopefully they can take some guidance from Japanese gaming stores.

Gamestop killed the stores around my area where I could buy PC games and they didn't stock PC games except for shit like Blizzard Warchests and WoW boxes. Gaben saved PC gaming with Steam, and fuck gamestop.
apparently gamestop in the last several years had even cut back on their console games and were selling dumb overpriced "collectible" crap (funko pops) which is just overpriced chinese plastic crap.

Thank you ma'am!
