I am very dissapointed in EBgames and Gamestop. I thought I was going crazy, but they are killing the PC gaming market in thier stores.

I know why (I think)they are doing it too.

They are making a killing on the used (Console) game business. They are selling the same game over and over again making tons of cash. The consumers are making out too. Well... the console only customers are making out.

I went down to EB the other night looking for some games. I was finished looking through the console stuff, so I was ready to check out my favorite platform... PC. It took me a while to find the so called "PC" section of thier store. Once I found it, I realized that they had almost nothing there.

They used to have new and old and out of date PC games there. That is why I used to enjoy going there. I would get the new game and maybe an older one that caught my interest. It is sad to see those days are over.

I am torn with the Boycott. I mean, I can make out very well with the console games, but I feel I am killing the PC genre by shopping there.

I they only knew (or Cared) what damage they are causing.

Good luck with the boycott, I will spread the word!

Take care,
