Of course i realize that, but i don't like the whole reselling culture, that's it.
Why? Do you think people shouldn't be able to sell their house either once it's created? That people shouldn't be able to sell their car?
Of course i realize that, but i don't like the whole reselling culture, that's it.
That's good, they made a fuckton of money by reselling used game and publisher won't get shit every time GS reseless an used copy.
Thanks to digital first, subscription model will soon hurt their business model.
Suck for the people losing job if GS is going to close, but that's business.
I hope so.
It'll be interesting to see where they go from here.
Without reselling culture it would be impossible for many people to collect games, especially from previous generations. It doesn't seem like you've thought your position through very well, tbh.Of course i realize that, but i don't like the whole reselling culture, that's it.
They aren't supposed to.That's good, they made a fuckton of money by reselling used game and publisher won't get shit every time GS reseless an used copy.
Yes, i am against GS reselling games and profiting, while publishers don't get shit.
I don't resell my games for the same reason.
Nah, they said they didn't like that either...I mean, it exists bevause people want and expect to recoup value from their purchases. I bet you don't have issue with people reselling cars.
The all digital future is not remotely close. PS5 and Scarlet will have physical media. The split will obviously become more and more noticeable but physical isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
Yes, i'm against all the type of resells that hurts the creators of the products.

What happens to the trade in market if Gamestop were to close?
Ebay and Amazon are options, I guess, but that's considerably more effort than just walking in to Gamestop with a game.
That's dumb as hell then.
Won't someone think of the huge corporations who screw us and the actual developers at every turnYes, i am against GS reselling games and profiting, while publishers don't get shit.
I don't resell my games for the same reason.
So you think that consumers should have 0 rights regarding the products they buy, and that companies that sell products should be able to prevent any resale of physical goods? And you don't see how that's a problem at all?

You do realize the money doesn't go to the creators when you buy the game? It goes to the investors which is usually insanely rich already.
Digital PC games NEVER go on sale either. At least GameStop runs sales on digital games.
I already explain my stance, people are free to resell their houses, cars and whatever they want, i, i'm talking about myself, i don't resell and i don't like the fact that a product can be resold, while the creator of the said product don't get shit, that's it. It's not hard to understand.
So? Where did i say i'm a collector?
HahahaYes, i am against GS reselling games and profiting, while publishers don't get shit.
I don't resell my games for the same reason.
You're full of crap if you're telling me you don't resell anything you own or may own. That's the point of equity. There's no god damn way you've ever bought a car and not traded it for value back.I already explain my stance, people are free to resell their houses, cars and whatever they want, i, i'm talking about myself, i don't resell and i don't like the fact that a product can be resold, while the creator of the said product don't get shit, that's it.

They'd have to really ramp up their efforts though.Best Buy is another. Walmart may still have a program as well.
Are you fucking serious?Or people collecting games.
Yes

Doesn't bestbuy and target do trade ins too?Gamestop can survive but they gotta be smart and look for new business opportunities. I hope they stay in business. It's nice being able to offset the cost of new consoles and games through their trade in programs.
Haven't you heard? Gamestop single handedly killed every Era user's dog and laughed in their face. This is their punishment.i find it crazy that gamestop inspires such vitriol. Are they perfect? hell no. But seriously it's not that bad. People bitch about stickers on boxes and having to listen to premium membership spiels, but none of that is really a big deal.
Best Buy is propped up by its investment in hardware that can't be digitized, like washers and dryers, computers, stereo systems, TVs, etc. They're way more diverse. I worked there for a number of years. It was true then and it's true now: Best Buy wouldn't exist if it weren't a retailer of big, high dollar systems, especially computers, where they make a killing on service plans.
Yup.
You are the one who brought up collecting...yes I realize that in the status quo the vast majority of people don't agree with you and people do have the freedom to resell products, you just don't think that should be possible...which is bizarreI already explain my stance, people are free to resell their houses, cars and whatever they want, i, i'm talking about myself, i don't resell and i don't like the fact that a product can be resold, while the creator of the said product don't get shit, that's it.

It does not say that. It actually does not explain the loss at all, which is unfortunate.The article is about the loss being primarily through servicing debt. And that they had growth in most key SKU's.
GameStop's third quarter GAAP net income (loss) was ($488.6) million, or ($4.78) per diluted share, compared to net income of $59.4 million, or $0.59 per diluted share in the prior-year quarter. Third quarter fiscal 2018 results include a non-operating, non-cash intangible asset impairment charge of $587.5 million, primarily related to goodwill and triggered by the sustained decline in the company's share price.
Excluding the non-operating impairment charges, GameStop's adjusted net income for the third quarter increased 24.0% to $68.3 million, compared to adjusted net income of $55.1 million in the prior-year quarter. Adjusted earnings per diluted share were $0.67 compared to adjusted earnings per diluted share of $0.54 in the prior-year quarter. The third quarter of fiscal 2017 included a benefit from the reduction of estimated contingent payments associated with a previous acquisition of $5.7 million before tax and $3.6 million net of tax, or $0.06 and $0.04, respectively, per diluted share.
Yes? I'm talking about the reselling culture, i don't like it and i don't agree it.No, you're not talking about yourself. You made it clear that you were talking about re-selling in a general sense rather than a personal sense.
You're full of crap if you're telling me you don't resell anything you own or may own. That's the point of equity. There's no god damn way you've ever bought a car and not traded it for value back.
What do you do when you're done with something like clothing you can't fit into or even an old car or items you've replaced with newer models like cell phones, computers, etc? Throw everything in the trash? Do you live in a junk yard? Are you a horder?
This is definitely part of it. I have 3 stores all within 5 miles of each other in my area, and one of them is in the huge mall we have. The others are in the same city, just short distances away. I've never understood it.
eBay and Amazon are options, I guess, but that's considerably more effort than just walking in to Gamestop with a game.
Digital will hit a saturation point and stick at that level at some stage like music and films
The collectors and buyers of physcial mefia aren't going anywhere and neither is physcial
It accounts for 70% of all games purchased worldwide
Must be a very privileged life you have lived then. Holy shit.Yes? I'm talking about the reselling culture, i don't like it and i don't agree it.
I'm still saving money to get a car and no, never resold anything in my life.
