Tom have you ever been to a gamestop in the USA?
Last time I was there, which was a good 15 years ago or so, I did yes. Canât say I remember too much about it.
how dare you say our gamestops arent the worst
I didnât realise you took so much pride in having the worse video game retail experience. I apologise and take it all back!
USA GameStops: proudly the no. 1 worst games shop for 20 years running!
USA GameStops: proudly voted âmost likely to smell like body odour or bad breath (or both)â
I kid, itâs really for 30 years running.
If youâve ever wanted to exchange three video games for 87% of the cost of a retailer exclusive Funko Pop, just pray that DEI doesnât destroy USA gamestop next
Game is (was?) just as bad. Probably why it wasnât memorable.
I was a funcoland man when I was a kid. Probably sucked just as much but I really liked the name. Itâs synonymous to kid chameleon in my brain because thatâs the game my dad bought there instead of sonic.
My only real memory of GameStop is trading my copy of Mario galaxy 1 +2 for like $20 I used for gas money. Probably to drive somewhere shitty and lame.
The next major update for the Hades II early access just came out
Some dude we all know got a mention on the interweb:
Out today!
The paper of record asksâwhat the hell is a metroidvania?
I assume theyâre games where you have to identify metro stations in Transylvania?
Anime fans rejoyce:
The âBig Cheeseâ doesnât have a Paul Lynde voice any more but still nice to see a goemon style game made of a tv show I would watch in 2nd grade.

Micromania is much better than Gamestop (which is admittedly not saying much) but more importantly turns a profit, unlike the rest of Gamestop. From my limited experience, the current Micromania experience is pretty much akin to how it felt shopping at Gamestop about ten years ago. One huge difference is Micromania did not believe in used games business for the longest time, and only belatedly pivoted towards the used games business around the PS4 era.
Gamestop already sold their Italian and German businesses recently. They are getting out of Europe entirely before GTA6 comes out, which is the last reason any potential buyer would bother with the specialized retail market, bar maybe Switch 2.
