have you watched the video if no go watch it if yes are you going to join the revolution.
revotlions rules
1: avoid buying games at gamestop
2: support smaller or independent game shops
3: buy more independent games first hand/ if you are going to buy a independent game try asking if the company(even wlamart) sells it.
reasons for the revolution:
1. it helps our industry
2. gamestop is a monopoly and needs to be taken down a notch
3. it could increase the chanses of more original and fresh games coming out
edit: there are some misunderstanding that people have
1. this is NOT A BOYCOTT this is not trying to crush gamestop and crush it into the ground I am saying that should let a healthy competition grow between it and other game shops so that gamestop and it's used games don't damage the industry. I am just trying to get gamestop to see that we want to see the game industry grow as well as get good deals (sure they wont be as good as before but if it means more creativity in games I am willing to take that down side).
2. OK I will accept that game stop hasn't reached monopoly standards but it is getting pretty close to it from my knowledge.
3. I understand if you buy a used game once in a while like it's old and you can't find a new version or you don't have the money that's reasonable but instead of making gamestop think wow I get more then 60% of my profit from used games lets continuous selling them they think wow that other game shop is starting to grow quite big lets try and come up with good deals to get costumers to come back to us.
4. I don't hate gamestop or used games in fact without them I wouldn't have been able to get interested in games but I see that they are damaging the gaming industry and I want to continue seeing the game industry develop so I don't want it to get damaged.
5.the rules above are a very big generalization if you want the full rules watch the video.
edit: I am going to stop replying to comments because I feel that people will be strongly for or against this and I'm not going to be able to change your mind about this. I will still be reading the comments though.
edit: send a handwritten letter to gamestop explaining why we won't shop at it and that if it finds a better way being convenient for shoppers but not harming or helping the game industry that we will start shopping their again.
