Yeah, you know, I hadn't been inside of a Gamestop for a few years before I pre-ordered my copy of Injustice and I really gotta say I thought the dude working behind the counter was ridiculously helpful and informative... which has actually been my standard experience at all Gamestops. Really informed employees. Their promo stuff is weak, but all promo stuff from all companies is lame, stupid and tries too hard.
I prefer the idea of locally owned game shops (lulz, were those ever a thing?) because I hate big retail chains in the same way I hate big restaurant chains... but I've not really had a bad experience with them. Even bringing in used games to sell, my experiences were decent because I always actually ended up with way more money than I thought I would. Sure they resell them at a huge mark-up but that's not my problem; I'm getting rid of the game. You're welcome future buyer for me keeping my games in such good goddamn condition that you can basically get a mint condition disk for like half-price or better, you're welcome.
Sure I'd probably hate this company too if I wasted my time involving myself in promos like this one, but from the start that was never an option.
