GameStop has sucked for a very long time and I’m astounded that so many people holding out hope for a meme stock to GO TO THE MOOOON again think it’s going to last.

Support local stores, death to GameStop

I'm not really holding out hope for anything, and I don't own Gamestop stock.

I just don't think that Game Informer closing down is the death knell of Gamestop.

That’s fair! I was part of the initial explosion of the stock, and sold the same day. The cult of GameStop loonies is still holding out hope to this day… it’s wild.

My local stores are less reliable when it comes to used games working. GameStop has always been reliable in my experience.
