You know they are only doing this shit because it's game with low expected sales.

Activision could put a flyer saying ' stop shopping at gamestop' in every CoD box and Gamestop would sell the game and act like nothing is wrong........

 

Still it's kind of amazing that every week Gamestop does something new to anger publishers and customers.

I can't wait for the digital age.

I was sorry when Kindle and co made Border go bankrupt but lets face it, I will dance on Gamestop's grave...

 

I think I'm glad there aren't any Gamestops in my country. If we ever have a digital only age, I hope we have better internet speeds here when that happens because I have to wait 20 to 40 minutes to download 100 MB patches for games... Downloading 10+ GB Games would be a pain :P. If we go into full digital age, gamestop will probably still be around but as a Digital service instead of physical stores. This move into digital age is causing some fights like this one in which gamestop removed the Onlive coupons or the one in which Battlefield 3 can't be purchased from Steam, you have to buy it from EA's Origin instead.

It's like everyone wants to have their own DD service and sell their games from there instead of using a unified service for everyone. Maybe in a few years if you want a Square-Enix game you'll have to buy it from SE's DD service, if you want a Ubisoft game you buy it from their DD service, if you want an EA game you buy it from their service, etc.

That would be quite a mess :P

Anyways, even though there aren't any Gamestops here and I've never been to one, the stuff I hear from people in the internet about them made me sort of hate Gamestop and I'd be happy if they went under, too :P Bad for the people who lose their jobs though.

And yeah, they probably wouldn't do anything if this happened with a game like CoD.

Yeah that's the issue with PC but on others medium it is kind of unified ( only one way to get your downloads from on Xbox, Playstation or Iphone).

And we won't go full digital but it will be like PC, you can still get your physical copy if you want but the used market will shrink a lot.
