GameStop is needed by the Mom's of this world

I know, they will die out like Blockbuster, but we'll lose something that most of us feel we don't need, cause we're so smart and know what we want, but there are countless clueless parents who don't know shit, who aren't gonna waste their time. Like the parents I saw today at GameStop, all of them were buying their little kids probably their first consoles. Seeing how well GameStop helped these kind of parents today, I have a new found appreciation for them.Maybe Best Buy or Target could have been plenty helpful, but GameStop employees were going over everything, from how to scratch the Roblox cards, all the things they gonna need, literally giving kids lessons about playing online and how to report mean people, and just went over so many small details, if I wasn't so blown away, I would have died waiting in line.Had these parents gone to Walmart or Sams Club, it would have been hell, they wouldn't have known shit. We're talking parents who are like 'just get everything you need cause I ain't getting you shit for a year' and 'if you get that, then you're shutting up the rest the weekend and leaving me alone'.I just hope that in 20 years Moms will still have places like GameStop to take kids to buy their first console, cause in this day and age, you can't just buy a Nintendo for Christmas. I can only imagine my Mom trying to buy me the Xbox when 4-7 years old.

Gangstop it almost alway a filthy store inside. To put a faith in a employee who it told to swindle customer it not so good to be that thing.

Not all Gamestop employees are bad, I understand it's part of the job they have to follow and hey, we all need our jobs right?

I hope physical stays for longer. Gamefly is so much cheaper.

$ 160 a year for most new games across many major platforms and you get them through mail almost immediately (2-3 days after release date) and you have 2 games at anytime.

I'd be happy enough if Sony or MS offers almost the same. All games available on PS5 or nextbox for $ 160 / year.

I don't hoard games so building a library is worthless to me as I treat these as disposable entertainment but I want to play them while it's hot.

If I want to "replay" something, the game is $ 10 by then.
