Buying games at small shops?

[Kylie]

Got a notice in the mail that the gaming shop that had to close is going to reopen in December but with a 'limited' selection of games. Will check it out when they do open.

They have decided not to reopen.

What small shops aren't any much left nowadays

That's what I'm saying yo. hehe

Our town has a huge indoor flea market that just opened to the public. The owner of the video store that closed down, has rented space there. We now have a place to go again to buy video games.

Yeah, all online as it's cheaper

I use Steam, Epic, GoG, and EA.

I buy table top board games from a local shop, my warhammer etc… but games, I usually buy online.

In the UK (or at least where I am) we can get in store deals on games that actually make them cheaper than downloading…

Coolness. I've never played a tabletop game, altho I really wanted to check out Battletech but didn't know anyone that played.

None of my old friends play either, I joined a local group and played that way.

I used to.
Unfortunately for them, now I mostly do on steam

I haven't bought a physical copy of a game for years. Digital is much better for me. I was never good at taking care of physical media...

I used to buy games on disc. But I have since been downloading the digital versions online. It's easier and more convenient for me.

Everyone did. There was a time when downloading a game other than a pirated copy, didn't exist. lol

There is a Gamestop in the other town but they almost exclusively sell console stuff as almost every PC game is now downloadable on-line it seems.
