Oh.... Thinkgeek is completely merging with Gamestop and shutting down their site soon
queer power
I know they've been owned by the same parent company for quite a while now but... I liked having a separate place to look for just merch and Gamestop's loyalty program isn't as good 
queer power
I don't have enough geek points to even get anything though rip
kotobae
oh..... damn
queer power
they're doing it fast too, geek points can only still be redeemed until the 30th, that's only a little over two weeks
queer power
I'm.... don't like this
queer power
Thinkgeek also had pretty decent regular sales, and I know Gamestop has sales too but ??? look fam I haven't bought a physical copy of a game in years
queer power
and other merch websites like Jinx almost always remain expensive so
queer power
what do
kotobae
i think i'm gonna buy those star wars earrings i had my eye on and then?? ig that's it lmfao

Wow
Loup D'etat
I’m really upset now....
Loup D'etat
GameStop is actually losing money, their handle is down quite a bit
Loup D'etat
They might be hoping this boosts their in store sales
queer power
probably. I mean it's a smart business move to start integrating merch into what they sell since physical game copies aren't doing it for them anymore
queer power
you can already buy quite a few 'thinkgeek' items in Gamestop stores, I have in fact scored discounted merch by walking into one that was having a clearance sale
queer power
it just felt way more convenient to be able to use a website that was all merch instead of having to switch to Gamestop's site that's going to want me to buy a console or some shit instead
queer power
if there's one benefit to this tho it'll be the ship-to-store option.... Thinkgeek's shipping prices had climbed to $7 for standard which is. pretty damn bad
Loup D'etat
It makes me sad though
queer power
same

I’m not a huge fan of GameStop

Really? Oh man.
𝖘𝖎𝖑𝖛𝖊𝖗 𝖘𝖕𝖎𝖉𝖊𝖗
I really hate this idea. Gamestop is just made of fail
𝖘𝖎𝖑𝖛𝖊𝖗 𝖘𝖕𝖎𝖉𝖊𝖗
I really don't want ThinkGeek to be owned by them
Loup D'etat
ThinkGeek has been owned by GameStop for awhile
𝖘𝖎𝖑𝖛𝖊𝖗 𝖘𝖕𝖎𝖉𝖊𝖗
I guess what I meant to say, I don't want them to be completely merged into Gamestop
𝖘𝖎𝖑𝖛𝖊𝖗 𝖘𝖕𝖎𝖉𝖊𝖗
They've been owned by them for awhile but even here in NYC, they seem like separate entities
𝖘𝖎𝖑𝖛𝖊𝖗 𝖘𝖕𝖎𝖉𝖊𝖗
The Thinkgeek shop I seen at 34th at Herald Square seemed to work seperately from the Gamestop upstairs
𝖘𝖎𝖑𝖛𝖊𝖗 𝖘𝖕𝖎𝖉𝖊𝖗
even though they shared one space
queer power
apparently they're keeping all of their brick and mortar locations
queer power
so you don't have to worry about that shop moving at least
𝖘𝖎𝖑𝖛𝖊𝖗 𝖘𝖕𝖎𝖉𝖊𝖗
That's great!
𝖘𝖎𝖑𝖛𝖊𝖗 𝖘𝖕𝖎𝖉𝖊𝖗
I just fear that Gamestop's days in general are numbered and unfortunately, they're going to take Thinkgeek with them eventually
miles you ass
No!!! What the fuck!!!
queer power
yeah. though if they can focus more on selling consoles/console games and merch they might be alright
miles you ass
I've always been proud of tg since they started local too I'm just
miles you ass
really pissy now
miles you ass
FAK
miles you ass
time to do some orders and redeem them geek points i guess
queer power
yeah :/
hair cryptid
At least their local stores are remaining open for now - I've got two near me if anyone ever wants me to go noodling around for merch >.>
