The main thing I dont understand is why some "core" gamers want us to fail.

We push more hardware out than pretty much anyone
We push out more software than pretty much anyone
We advertise the living heck out of new IPs and all titles to help drive their sales

Basically by saying you hope Gamestop fails you are litteraly hoping the gaming industry fails. One thing I know is the VAST majority of developers and publishers love us and have zero desire to see us go under.

Luckily the people who think like this are the huge minority and are basically only found in forums not in real life

The video game industry has said time and time again that used games are a problem and Gamestop is big on used games. Therefore, any bad news for Gamestop is good news for gaming.

Only core gamers who frequent forums would know about these statements, hence why this misguided opinion can only be found on forums.

Do you think if developers had a problem with us they would give us exclusive pre order bonuses on every single new title to help drive our business?

Or would developers all personally come out to our Gamestop Conference to go on stage and thank us?

The truth is we drive more new sales than anyone and most of all trade in credit goes towards the purchase or pre order of new titles

Sure that sounds fine but when they sell a game than buy back and sell that said game back at full price for a fraction of a cost doesn't help developers.

What is full price?

Is GameStop buying used games and selling them for $60?

Also, you argue Gamestop isn't helping developers. But you don't seem to mind Amazon being a place to get used games dirt cheap. Explain how Amazon helping developers.
