Rules:

1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

This store has already died a thousand deaths it seems. Could've sworn they were all closing down ages ago but you still find them everywhere.

my local one closed recently. Looks like they were carrying tons of preowned, and new games etc. But had a large section for board games, trading card games. At one point had warhammer.

Seems they tried to branch out and failed. iirc they said they’re no longer accepting trade ins?

Yup, killed the one reason I had to go in there apart from the Pokémon codes.

Merch is overpriced, they won't part-ex anymore. They closed stores and moved to crappy corners of sports direct and what not. It's dying. It'll be an online portal where kids send links to grandparents at Christmas soon.

These are just overpriced toy stores now. More toys than games. They haven't been a real gaming store for ages, in my opinion.
