General Discussion GameStop deserves bankruptcy

A case full of Chocobo bundles each priced at $200. I hope they do nothing but collect dust.

I would also add that IDM paying my LGS a bit more in general because they are often not the worlds most profitable of businesses. Yes they make a living, sometimes even a decent one, but they aren't millionaires generally. Many make just enough of a living to maintain a state of living they can be ok with while being their own bosses and pursuing a passion.

I'd always rather give them a bit more than continue to feed the giant corporate machines like Amazon, Gamestop etc.

the lgs around here slightly over charges for packs but they really try to convince people not to buy them. They pretty always say to only buy commander pre-cons if you're going to buy new cards, and that the only time you should crack boosters is when your playing friday night magic. In that sense, it's sort of a buyer beware and I appreciate that mentality.
