I mean like with enough investment or strategic partnerships Gamestop can be the primary seller for a lot of games or go the streaming route but idk if it'll work

Great point on gamification! I guess we will see if it is a good enough factor or not on here.

Gamification works if your content is consistently good and dissuades other opinions. How many times have you deleted something you posted that got negative Reddit karma or no likes because you were frankly embarrassed? I did and now I realize I probably regret it.

You are the reason I became a Lemmy-ite? Lemmur? idk its awesome being here

I agree that they are in trouble without intervention. I think there is a narrow opportunity for Gamestop to reinvent itself in the face of digital-only downloads, mainly to offer alternatives to the Steam/Microsoft/etc. store monopolies or to transition to more gaming hardware and accessories. Not everyone wants to buy before trying out the latest equipment, and sometimes you just want to browse or get expertise when the tech is so expensive or confusing for first-timers. The real estate and workforce can also be valuable assets for providing a space to explore new business models such as esport cafes, VR/AR spaces, or other in-person gamer events in the US that have been successful elsewhere or by other companies.

that’s brilliant actually for a mobile app name

 

Ahead of the upcoming third-party apps decision and potential blackouts of many popular subs, post your residency or intern year questions/memes/advice here instead. Let's make the best Lemmy / fediverse medical community out there.

Oooh lawdy there are servers! My time wasting will scale exponentially now 😅

Just jumped over from Reddit and if I hadn’t read the comment about sh.itjust.works I probably would have no idea how to get started with Lemmy. Hopefully with more publicity there will be a more streamlined signup process a la new mobile apps or certain servers trending when you search for it.

Didn’t see some of my old communities from Reddit on here yet but I guess it’s time to make them!

Also - does anyone have any good alternatives to Youtube on the Fediverse? Is Odysee popular?
