Goodbye, GameStop!

Das Ende einer Ära: Gut sechs Wochen sind vergangen, seit am 30. Januar 2025 die letzten zehn Filialen von GameStop in Deutschland ihre Türen schlossen. In diesem Beitrag blicke ich zurück auf Store-Besuche und Spielekäufe aus 20 Jahren und möchte so meine ganz persönlichen Erinnerungen an meine lokale GameStop-Filiale am Leipziger Hauptbahnhof und die Spiele-Handelskette im Allgemeinen festhalten. Es würde mich freuen, wenn auch ihr eure Erinnerungen im Kommentarbereich teilen würdet.

Decided I should go and have a look in EB, figured I'd end up with socks but

They actually had a copy of #Titanfall2 my favourite game of all time for $24 with 50% off so it was only $12, use my $10 voucher and boom best game ever for $2!

I've been trying to find a physical copy for ages so yeah, made my day!

Now I just need to get a Xbox copy of Titanfall 2 and my set is complete

#DeathStranding Collector’s Edition sold for AUD 4xx and still had more items than this #FFXVI ‘s that is asking for AUD700 and be #EBGames ‘ premier member tier

Collector editions for sought after video game franchises have slowly moved out of the reach of most consumers.

I have some good news and some bad news. You can finally order a #ValveIndex in New Zealand and Australia. Unfortunately #valve decided to use #ebgames for distribution again. I am guessing that it is going to be the same for the #steamdeck
