March 18, 2022

GAMES STORES LIKE GAMESTOP, BEST BUY, WALMART SHOULD SELL PC GAMES AS WELL AS GAMES FOR CONSOLE PLAYERS! THEY COULD GET MORE POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS BY SELLING TO ALL GAMERS AND NOT JUST PART OF THE GAMER POPULATION!

I’m been playing Sims for awhile. Later then most fans. But after I think it was Get to Work- might have been Get Together . The only way to get Sims 4 packs for people in Canada is for people whom are either underage or for reasons don’t or can’t use their bank card online due to the risk of hacking- is having either parent (if under age) or aka a family member to buy packs from online. It might make them (the latter) feel like they aren’t an adult Origin cards don’t exist up here and cards one might bring back from U.S. don’t work in Canada. And apparently Steam cards also don’t exist anymore in Canada due to code reasons. It made me very upset when I learned that from Gamestop back in November. And once I ever get down with my SimLit. I want to expand my repertoire of video games from Nancy Drew/Sims series to other games.. but due to reasons.. I would need to ask an older adult to buy them from Steam and that makes me feel less like an adult vs. if I go into a store and buy PC game with my own money makes me more like an adult.

Now I have been in game stores a couple of times. But recently (even pre-Covid) that PC section of the store has become basically non-existent in favour of console games- ie Xbox Games or PlayStation 5 games. Yes i can understand that the game stores might feel they might be stuck with a lot of PC inventory. But they could also get more customers for also appealing to potential PC customers whom for reasons (whatever the reason) either can’t or don’t use bank cards online or without adults/older adults’ help as well as their normal cliental of console gamers

So to get back to the point.. GAMES STORES LIKE GAMESTOP, BEST BUY, WALMART SHOULD SELL PC GAMES AS WELL AS GAMES FOR CONSOLE PLAYERS! THEY COULD GET MORE POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS BY SELLING TO ALL GAMERS AND NOT JUST PART OF THE GAMER POPULATION!
