GameStop Adapts Flashy New Technology That Changes Nothing
It’s accepted by most people that GameStop will someday, inevitably, face obsolescence and meet the same axe that beheaded Blockbuster and Tower Records. It won’t happen tomorrow, or next week, but it will take place at some point. Most people are okay with this. As attached as most gamers are to physical purchases, it’s very hard to feel any sympathy for a cold conglomerate that treats its workers horribly, shakes its customers for every penny, and cuts corners everywhere it can. GameStop isn’t blind to its own fate and has had various methods of dealing with it over the years. Those little pieces of paper you’re supposed to redeem for digital purchases are hilarious.
