Yah, they should just read the writing on the wall and cut they’re losses.

I’m Canadian. Never heard of VGP. Looked them up, they have one location. By not huge you really mean inconsequential. Negligible.

They do a lot of online sales as I understand it. Given there’s not a lot in the Canadian market online for physical resale, they are really only behind EB Games in that regard.

We have Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy here too. They all ship. And I don’t think it’s a stretch to say they outsell this little shop.

I realize now it was not at all clear, but I was speaking about secondhand market, which VGP and EG Games both do, and not the others that I’m aware of.

I didn’t acknowledge that point because it’s not entirely relevant to choosing not to carry a new launch title. The resale market makes up an even smaller portion of impacts to the publisher and they would never see a dime of those transactions regardless. I understand why they’re doing it, but I’m not sure this is really newsworthy or “stand” relevant.
