Is Gamestop Evil? The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

[BigTinz]

Amen. I wish best buy and gamestop would merge and then go jump off a cliff.

[Alpinex2]

One of the only company's i truly despise.

[noiseredux]

I buy things from Gamestop because it's convenient and they usually have pretty good prices on GBA and Gamecube games. I don't trade games in to them, so I really can't complain about that.

there not so bad, what used to drive me nuts were all the fucking stickers they put on the games, getting them off the outer case was fine but when they would put them on the box art that would piss me off, cause the box art is ruin, if you take it off it will tear the shit up, but now they put the tag on a seperate sheet of paper and slide it in so its not as bad anymore.

I never trade in any games to them, I'm sorry but I take to much pride in my games and the work that I do, so I wouldn't sell anyone let alone Gamestop a game I paid 60 bucks for and sell it to them for 10 or what ever price they offer

That shit pisses me off, too. It's total dumbassery. I don't know if the GSes near me (if you consider 30-45mins near) puts the stickers on a piece of paper, I'll have to check sometime.

When I looked yesterday, my local gamestop still put the stickers on the box art.

My local gamestop has reduced all of last generation's games to one rack thing per console, and a small display for GBA. I don't trade in anymore, but I'll buy used stuff every now and then. I prefer the internet for most retro stuff though.

I've said it before: The stickers are thermal. Heat em up, they peal right off.

Some of the more recent ones have been easier to peel off in one piece cleanly even without heating. They're not total bastards like the they were a few years ago.

Don't like it, get over it.

It's collective consumerism that drives a company like GameStop and if you guys keep buying/trading stuff there with no vocal issues then they'll keep taking your money no problem.

Speak out, yell at GS send them letters make rants and do whatever you'd like. Just make sure you send it in to GameStop, not on an internet forum that is literally non-existent to the company.

So once again, get over it. I'm sick of having this argument.
