Gamestop refused to sell me a copy of Doom 3 without pre-ordering some other game back in 2004 and as far as I'm concerned everything that's happened to them since then is retribution for that.
Chris Roberts believed in the Star Citizen, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. So we beat on, starships against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.

I feel bad for the people losing their jobs, I hate to see that happen ever.
But man, Gamestop the corporate entity has just never generated any goodwill. Shopping there should have felt good, but they always had some bullshit to try and get more money out of you. It should be sadder that a major games retailer is slowly dying but I just don't care at all.

While Richard Garriot's kinda settled down from back when he was basically using games as a slush fund for rocket trips (rip tabula rasa), between him and Roberts you can maybe see why Origin got shitcanned.

The last time I bought a Gamestop the clerk tried to upsell me a game guide and then did an audible *scoff* when I said no. Implying that I was of lesser intelligence to want to enjoy games on my own.
Fuck Them.

Like, I don't even know if I like Blasphemous as a game
It's just... so much, from a thematic standpoint; I don't know what to make of it. And I suspect, as a non Christian who grew up and lives in a country where the dominant religion and culture are not Christian, I may be unable to build a cohesive critical opinion about the game because I lack the necessary cultural touchstones
Oh well I'm just a fuckin tourist, I grew up goin to church five days a week in a very indifferent Anglican atmosphere, I just have a fascination with the brand Catholicism that Blasphemous evokes

After they bought out EB Games, our mall had two Gamestops up until, and most likely beyond when, I stopped going to that mall
Steam
you can buy access for an alpha for $45.00 USD
another $20 gets you access to the single-player campaign, Squadron 42, in... 2020? 2021?
Toys R Us was intentionally killed by venture capitalists. It only "failed" because they forced it to.
