    Our Walmart managers buy them before they even hit the floor then sale them on Ebay and Amazon under their spouses first and Maiden names. The lock on the door is broken so they can't put them on the floor then the door is mysteriously "fixed" when new games come out.

Valve is a privately owned company right now so they don't answer to fiduciary duty, and yet they already banned some Russian dude (like full ban, incl losing games not just chat/forums) for shitposting. When they go private it will be way worse. And of course all the other giants have straight up said you're only borrowing the privilege to play the game, not owning it. At least on consoles you can still buy physical copies.

    Retro Rick’s store is MASSIVE. I think he has the best gaming store I’ve ever seen in person or on video. Now if you’re docking points for missing a LAN setup and arcade like some gaming stores feature, by that criteria he’s not the best. But I’m talking strictly as a gaming store not an internet lan cafe or arcade crossover.
    BUT THE RENT FOR THAT SPACE MUST BE INSANE. HAS RETRO RICK MENTIONED HOW HIGH THE RENT IS OR IF THE LAND THRRE IS CHEAP MAYBE? ITS REALLY SPACEY AND AIRY!

    "Let's buy all bargains and add them to our stock, so people can now buy them for $30+ each from us!" ..or, if they don;t sell now, we sell them for $500+ in 5 years time as rare and sealed! :P

      Right, like getting deals from a multi billion dollar company and complaining that small business is going to make a $5 profit on each game really makes you cry about it?

    About the lights; there are now LED versions available. No more ‘starters’ etc. And even more cost effective ⚡️🏆

    You should really give those games away. It feel kind of bad for people who watch , then shop at your store to see you selling these!!
