The problem is that failing now empowers Wal-Mart, Amazon, and Steam. There are no small chains that can seize the opportunity to fill the void. We're going to end up with defacto monopolies I think; maybe only Walmart for people to get new physical games.

I don't think Gamestop really qualifies as a small chain. Besides, the retail market for games will be dead here before too long, everything's going digital. It won't be Steam and Amazon, it'll be Steam and Sony and Microsoft and Epic.

Actually I think at this point there are more competitors in the digital space than physical...

We can solve that too by reinforcing the old antitrust regulation.
