Small video game stores are great, but have you ever wondered what it takes to run one? What kind of people do it? and what do they think of the future of this industry? Let’s ask a game store owner and see what he has to say.

I wonder how he’s doing now…
I'd visit this store if I lived near there…
I wish there is a Game store on Brooklyn with toys
I have a couple here in Seattle
Now I wish I had one of these stores near me, I've been purchasing onlin and now I regret it. This video is just like how Netflix replaced Blockbuster.
I WORKED FOR A SMALL GAMESTORE, AND ITS A PAIN IN THE ASS AND TIME TAKER
I HATE GAMESTOP
here's the thing: vinyl still sells as do CDs even in the age of spotify and itunes. people still buy rock n roll star tshirts and other similar gear. physical stuff will always sell.
I Hate the idea of all games will be digital I prefer physical games I rather have the choice then to be forced into the completely digital generation.
I have a independent shop in the UK, and this video is spot on, really enjoyed it
In England the equivalent to GameStop is GAME and I way prefer the local game shops because game only sells as far back as D's so for me it's next to useless aside for a few extremely occasional good deals. In conclusion GAME sucks (in my opinion.)
Hey if your looking for one of these you should try The Exchange.They have everything a nerd or geek might want
A couple around here. Chumleighs and Iceman around here are thriving.
I'll add that we have a mall that had a Walmart in it, and it was the most relevant, and popular of our 3 malls in town. However, when Walmart moved into their own building 90% of the stores in the mall went under, and the mall is now irrelevant. They couldn't even keep a Staples in it. Only the grocery store remains. So Walmart can cause other businesses to be successful as well.
I owned game on in Powell for three years and then digital downloads stole our costumers
One of the local game stores in my area has been shifting gears to collectables
there's a dublin in ohio?
Got my own game store right now. This is 100% spot on. We havent opened the doors yet, but its happening very soon.
Man wish I had a game store like that. The only stores that sell games are Walmart, two Targets & a GameStop and they don't sell most of the things that store does.😩
well i live in Serbia and there s no Gamestop there and i can assure you we have more locally owned stores than anything else the most popular is GameS and they are fair as hell and plus our currency is cheap as hell here s their website https://games.rs/
Very nice video this is good to know
It freaked me out when you said Bogbean, because that's a local game/movie/bookstore where I am (Norcal).
I love local game stores cuz they have everything ! Like retro n old games/consoles … GameStop sucks
Gamestop is all I have in my area.
Usually I go physical, but unlike others, I decided to go all digital with my switch, because Thanks what I do with potable consels.
About consoles moving to only downloading, can't a kid walk in with their own money and buy a download code or something?
I don't want to be forced to use psn for my games. There large and data charges are a thing. =/
