"[GamesStop] indicated that software publishers are more enthusiastic about partnering with it," Baird's Colin Sebastian wrote. "For example, by offering exclusive content on each major game release, and longer term, future models may include GameStop offering exclusive gameplay."

GamesBeat asked him to clarify what exactly that "future model" meant, and Sebastian added the retailer is thinking about "getting involved at the time of game development where there could be some content exclusive to [the retailer] included in the game."

So if you thought it was stupid that peripheral content like skins and maps was split up between retailers, just wait until GameStop can offer actual parts of a game you can't get anywhere else. Then wait for Walmart and Best Buy and Amazon to catch on. It'll be great.

how does gamestop offer pirated games?

cuz digital codes are impossible to get online

I do not like Gamestop

used game = pirated games
since devs dont get any money

A Used game != to a Pirated Game. And if publishers would charge less and stop stealing from Devs so much themselves, then we might not have the need to trade in games since they would be cheaper. But even before Gamestop was a thing, game prices were ridiculous. If they'd drop prices to $40/$45 new then people wouldn't buy used.

Especially for Digital Download, which in most cases is more expensive than box retail.

If they ever make a game worth $60, I will gladly buy it new.

thats like saying thrift shops and used clothes is pirating because the clothing line doesnt get the money.

and selling the shit on craigslist developers for games dont get the money


there is no logic behind shit people do and developers complaining about it

Seriously. There's always a way to ruin everything I guess.
