169: The End of GameStop?

from Beat of the Month: Video Game Podcast · host Beat of the Month Crew

Given the recent closures of many of their stores across the country, we have decided to dedicate an episode all about everyone's favorite and most beloved game store, GameStop. Ok so maybe it's not everyone's favorite, and maybe not quite so beloved, but hey buying physical games in a physical store is becoming a bit of a rarity! We start off the discussion looking back at the origins of GameStop and what companies led to it's formation. Then we reminisce about our favorite (and not so favorite) memories of the workers, the trade-ins, and the store itself. We also play some rounds of trade-in value trivia as well as think about where the store is headed and what they could do to improve their fortunes. Speaking of fortunes, we of course have to touch on the GME stock drama. Whether you love it or hate it, there's plenty to enjoy in this episode. So grab your pro-player membership card, your brand new (but opened) headphones, and join us for this episode all about GameStop!
