> Do you mean you don't think they'll compete with Twitch, or you don't think they'll compete with Steam and Amazon?

I do not think Gamestop is going to compete with twitch. I will be very surprised if they do not try to compete with Steam.




This is just crazy though as GameStop has no demonstrated capabilities or plan to compete with Steam. They don’t make good software, they don’t have content or publishing experience.

I mean they can say they want to, so can McDonalds. But their plan is magical thinking and not sure why folks fall for this.

The worst but though is that they have a terrible reputation with gamers. Every gamer I know hates them. Some shop there like some tolerate Comcast, but they don’t have a fan base.
