You can't download dog food.
The difficulty will be how to get in the middle of that.
They’re not a producer or publisher like Valve was before creating their online game store Steam.
Are Microsoft or Sony interested in making them a middleman when they can sell directly to the consumer via the device?
MS apparently allows people on their service to pay $10 a month to access legacy titles.
World changed from the days you got your games at Babbages in the mall. Future for the company certainly seems grim.
Netflix started out as a DVD mail rental company. I guess they beat blockbuster to the punch and was able to evolve into what they are now.
In the future will dog food be digitally transferred into your dogs stomach? Because video games will be sold electronically on the Sony and Microsoft game stores and sent to a hard drive. Physical games are going away. There will be hardware but how would Gamestop be more competitive at selling hardware online than Amazon, Target and WalMart?
Sales of what, though? People download games now, so there's not going to be a secondary market for used games. They're not going to make enough off the weird funko figures to support company selling them. Are sales of gaming consoles and controllers going to be enough to keep them going?
I think his point is video game counsels are now going to all digital to buy games and GameStop doesn't own the right to the games. I am not familiar with the video game world these days; however, I assume that is what he is getting at.
Maybe if physical video game discs become the trading cards of the future. Gamestop is sitting on about 20,000 copies of NBA2k18. Very few in mint condition though.
Games are all digital downloads now, mostly. But, they are more expensive than before. Or, they are subscription based- at least on Xbox through Game Pass which now includes EA stuff.
I don't know if there's a market for game rentals anymore, with physical discs.

A lot of people fell for it yesterday. The surge lasted all of one day. Crypto is trending up today.
Netflix guy started that whole idea over angst at late fees when a dvd fell between the seats of his car. He tried selling his company to Blockbuster in the early stages and they laughed at him. Cool story if you read about it.
I assume you skipped the first 27 pages of this thread?
Roaring Kitty was 100% correct on his thesis. It's more intricate than you think. Combine the (slight growth) with the powder keg of an extremely shorted stock, and here we are.

Crypto is trending up as long they keep printing fiat to price it in.
Not sure if that’s because of the recall Tesla issued, or the ‘stock advice’ he issued...
This one isn't working out so far for me. I'm down 42% since you told us it was a sure thing. I need to vet my financial advisors a bit better.
Probably both. It's not a confidence builder when the flat screen on your car goes bad in 7 or 8 years.
Looks like this fella might not be going to college this semester. Yikes.
went over and checked wsb this morning. Deflated bunch. Looks like the hedge funds stomped out all the momentum.
Sure you can, you just do it byte by byte. (rimshot)
I'll be here all week. Try the fish.

You know if you dont like your house you can just sell it. You dont have to give it to your broker.
Yes, everyone tip your server... and if you want, the server will bring you a doggie bag.
All of the financial media wants this to crash.
The platforms the retailers used curtailed their ability buy. What more do you need to do in order to kill a rally?
No doubt. Then manipulate so the stock crashes and fear will quickly set in new investors. Heck, seasoned ones as well. This one wreaks of manipulation. But, in a week, it will all be swept under the rug and business as usual.
Down $135 since open to $90. A fool and his money are soon parted.
