Remember when Gamestop at least pretended they cared more about games and customers?

I started there back in 2006 and the only think they care about sales wise was reserves and game informer subs. And they weren't even that pushy about those.

Now employees get canned for basically failing to lie to customers in order to reach sales goals. The hours are barely enough to keep the store open for a full business day, it's basically a manager working 60 hours minimum a week and one part timer getting 4 hours in the evening per night.

The stores used to be almost entirely games and accessories. Maybe 5% of wall space was advertising. Now the whole damn store is covered in in ou face ads and a bunch of garbage toys no one needs or wants to buy from a Videogame store. They're trying to branch out too much and are spreading themselves too thin.

I remember back when they started selling helio phones and everyone thought it was the dumbest idea ever, but they actually managed to turn the shit up to 11 and almost push games entirely to the back.

So damn infuriating.inused the love the store as a kid. Now it's just full of pure corporate cringe.
