12:30 this LITERALLY happened to me, I live on a farm in the middle of a desert so I couldn't buy the Skyrim dlc online so when my grandpa had to sell a horse in the city, I went with him to buy the Skyrim ultimate edition
Coney is 100% the type of person to fall for the gamestop thing. Someone has to take a fall in these situations, and not just the hedge funds when it gets to the size that it did.
GameStop was a pump and dump all along. There was like 1 day of trading that hedge funds got caught with their pants down and from there on it was schmucks losing money because a celebrity said "diamond hands"
Didn't know Gamestop absorbed Kongregate, too bad Adobe flash died. Coney buying in at the highest... To be honest I bought in around there and then bailed a few days later when things kept on looking bad.
Kongregate is so sad now. Gamestop actually sold them in 2017 so they prob didn't lose out as bad as it could've been but it already was declining. Now they just are on the NFT and blockchain shit 😔
When Brawl released at Arundel Mills both Gamestops hosted Midnight tournaments. My friend and I signed up however, the two Gamestops shared a Pre-Register list. So, when we got to the mall we were set to play at different stores. But, my store started on time whereas the other store was late. After I lost the best of 1 tourney (due to being forced to play with the Wii-motes, no GC Controllers allowed) I went to the other store to watch my friend. The guy at the door asked me for my name and they signed me up at my friend's store cause I was on the list. I told him I had already played but he ignored me. I won at the other store because I had already played on the Wii-mote and knew my character (Pit, at the time) gameplan. I felt bad but then as I collected my Brawl Guide Book and $25 Dollar Gift Card they handed me a slip for the next round of the tournament. I didn't read the back of said slip until the next day and it said: "Congratulations on making it to the 3rd round...etc". I got a bye...? I then went to the 3rd round which was 1 round away from the New York shopping trip round and got my a$$ handed to me cause I didn't practice ! ha
For the record, the problem with Reddit's new API isn't that it isn't free, it's that it's charging 29 times per user more than Reddit would make themselves. Carry on.
I wouldn’t care what he’d do or say on that show. I would drive to GameStop every day to see CONEY shamelessly blurt out whatever bs about games he wanted to in the middle of the store.
Had a friend who insisted on selling his copy of Mario & Luigi Partners in Time to GameStop. I tried to offer him $20 for said game, but buddy couldn't wait for me to get the money and settled on a whole $6 for a $40 DS game from GameStop. I still give him shit about that exchange to this day.
I was hungry one day, so i went to gamestop and sold my copy of ark survival evolved that i bought for 50 bucks, back to them for 3 dollars in cash. I then went to dollar general and bought the knockoff somoan girlscout cookies. They were good. Fun times.
As someone who also lives in MD, it's so weird to hear name drops of specific locations I know far too well. Arundel Mills mall is great. Love the Egyptian Cinemark.
Back in 2020 Gamestop stock was at $4 so I was thinking of putting $1000 into the stock because I assumed it couldn't go much lower and there was a chance they'd make a comeback. I decided against it because I lost my job and things were a little uncertain at the time. I literally become depressed when I think about Gamestop now.
About Game Informer: Generally felt actually well written and considered. The model appeared to be that they let their review staff be pretty honest, but the previews and hype pieces were all positive. I guess the idea was they could afford to give legit reviews because they got you to preorder it anyway
Yeah gamestop's trade in stuff is crazy, I never sold any of my games there because I was a little hoarder but a used game someone would actually maybe wanna play was NEVER under 15 bucks, I was LUCKY to get lostmagic for 5 bucks recently because it's been so long since the ds era. And at foxter, which is kind of a homebrew german Version of gamestop I think, i got sf4U for the 3ds WHILE the 3ds era Was going on for 5 BUCKS! It sucks the foxter near my hometown closed down, that atore RULED!
The mall near me had two Gamestops in the same mall because one of them was previously an EB Games and they decided to keep the location for a little while after the buyout. But then they also had a third location in a plaza across the street. Two of the three are still open and the mall holds their midnight releases at the plaza location. People will vibe on the sidewalk and I've made a few friends I'll never see again, but most people sit in their cars.
My gamestop of choice closed down and the new gamestol I go to rejected my application so fuck gamestop that company SHOULD die.... still gonna buy my yugioh Packs there tho... although I descovered a cute little card Shop nearby, might try that one out!
12:18 The only way this would work would be if they had a guy standing there to convince me to buy DLCs that I wasn’t going to buy otherwise. Good luck with that shit; in my experience working in retail people really don’t like when employees try to sell them on things when most customers are just there to pick 1 thing up or just browse.
This video really releasing now :( GameStop is shutting down in my country this week. It's the end of an era and will be much harder to purchase collector editions now. End of an era for gaming in my country...
Can we just talk about how game stop is kinda garbage now. Used to be my favorite store, but now over half their store is just cheap junk and random t shirts. It feels like a shitty hot topic that also sells video games. Doesn’t help that they never leave you alone about joining their membership program either.
@@grunkleg.2934honestly, I went into agame stop just to see what they had for used games and they barley even have any games anymore, just toys and merch at this point
How to monetize reddit: sneak in a way to buy upvotes. Yes it goes against the site but hey, if done properly its just a way to earn ad money while the users dont realize its an ad... lol
With the question of figuring out how to monetize social sites like Reddit or Twitter or whatever, I don't think it can be done. It needs to be done, every website needs money to function, but I think we're going to see a huge upheaval in online spaces in the coming years. The dotcom bubble all over again. Honestly, I hope it happens. I hope Web 3 collapses in on itself and the internet goes back to something like the Era of Web 1 or 2. But that might be wishful thinking

Coney buying into GameStop at the worst time possible and then blaming everyone else is the most in character thing I've ever seen him do.
Coney loses money the same way I lose all my Coney Coinz in salty bet
20:08 he moved the chat box like he was holding that amcbro by the throat
With those numbers Gamestop was making over 5 Billion in sales every year from 2009-2012 (1.4 million average with 3624 stores)
I think thats gross income, not revenue

Gamestop being popular was awesome. It was like having your hobby subsidized by casuals.

bro why kongregate and not notdoppler THEY RELEASE NEW GAMES *EVERY* THURSDAY!!!!!!
Title says "all" and immediately he says he lost $400. Bro I've lost thousands
Seriously, how are they not dead though? I’ve literally never been in a GameStop that had more than 1 other person in 5 years.
They’re losing cash incredibly quickly. They’ll be able to survive for a few years, maybe the decade if they’re really clever.
I think they mostly get by with selling "nerd trinkets" (Funcos, plushies, etc.), probably won't be able to do that much longer
