GameStop says it has one of the most extensive selections of PC games available at retail, as it now allows consumers to buy over 1,500 downloadable titles at its 4,400 stores or online.
In previous years, GameStop had difficulties stocking a big selection of packaged PC games due to limited self space; many of the chain's smaller stores had no selection of PC games at all.
Now consumers can choose from a list of more than 1,500 PC games (compared to around 1,200 late last year) both new and old, and then buy a download code they can redeem at home. They can also use gift cards and trade-in credit from used games for their purchases.
Last August, GameStop's VP and digital distribution VP Steve Nix told Gamasutra that the retailer hopes to increase the visibility of PC games among its 500 million annual consumers by offering downloadable titles and working with publishers to promote their PC titles.
Nix said at the time, "This really gets PC out there again and lets customers know it's still a great platform to play on, and that people can buy those games from GameStop digitally or physically."
Buying games digitally via voucher code from Gamestop seems like an extra step and a waste of time, since there are so many ways to just purchase them online.
As for buying physical copies...yeah I might think about it.
gamestop could never compete with steams awesome prices, gamestop is already known for raping costumers wallets, and steam is known for their amazng prices sooooooo sorry gamestop you will not make any good profits from this.
As for buying physical copies...yeah I might think about it.
