Spawn_of_Apathy Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 So they will finally stop pitching it to me the one time a year I go in there to get a Steam Gift Card for my brother. Good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, I don't think I even realized Prime had the benefit until after they removed that, then. It's still a nice benefit for games I know I'm definitely getting, like Mario Odyssey for instance. But obviously I also felt Prime was worth it without the benefit, finding out about it was purely a bonus to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see. The part of it that I'm still surprised by is that they limit it to physical copies—I'd think it's cheaper for them to deliver a digital copy to you.

Hurdyb1 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 This is NO surprise at all to me. It offered no real benefit over the pro membership. Gamestop refused to offer something with the elite pro to make it more attractive and that refusal to change is why Gamestop struggling.

XxEvil AshxX Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 I used to like the free Powerup Rewards tier. Then they slashed the amount points you got for sales to 10 instead of a percentage based on your sale amount, completely removed the trade-in points, and then restricted the B2G1 free to the Pro tier, when it used to just be a regular bi-monthly(ish) sale. Buncha geniuses, them Gamestop execs. I wonder why they're failing with such a bright group of guys calling the shots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
