Re: Dying Companies

said by cableties:

Along with Blockbuster, I wish Gamestop would die too. Gamefly (like netflix) makes it much easier (and cheaper) for games.

Only one thing bothers me, who is in charge of the content. Although Netflix is ideal, I've already seen delays because Hollywood is throttling the content to them (with preference to sell retail media first and then allow rental after 28-30 days). "he who controls the spice..."

...We are becoming a virtual retail world. DLC, instant movies, programming as the "new" manufacturing model, ...
I honestly don't think the used game aftermarket is a good thing at all. It prevents content providers from making money on game purchases, and because the tail-end of the curve is leeched off of by these brick and mortar shops, they essentially can never lower prices since they'll always be undercut 50% by the "competition".
