Never preordering from Gamestop again
of FC27 2 weeks ago with my son expecting to be able to play it on launch day and here I am 2 days after launch and my digital code has not been delivered and all Gamestop “care”@gamestop.com can tell me is that there is a delay and distribution and my situation has been escalated to the proper team. I have never preordered a DIGITAL game and have not been able to play it at 12:00AM on launch day. Completely ridiculous for a publicly traded company called Gamestop when I can’t even play a game I preordered and can’t even play 3 days after launch day. Last time preordering from Gamestop.

A Game Store That Doesn’t Have New Games
A new game comes out, I open the app ready to give GameStop my money, and it simply says “Not Available.” Okay, so when will it be available? Can I order it for when more copies arrive? Can I join a waitlist? Can I get an in-stock notification? Apparently not. I’m basically just supposed to keep checking the app and hope.
Going into the physical stores isn’t much better. New releases regularly aren’t available because stores seem to receive extremely limited quantities, sometimes seemingly only enough to fulfill preorders. This isn’t just my experience either. GameStop customers and even employees online have complained about stores receiving only preorder quantities or just one or two extra copies of new releases.
That completely defeats the purpose of a dedicated video game retailer. If I walk into a store called GameStop during the launch week of a new game, buying that game shouldn’t feel like hunting down a rare collectible.
The most frustrating part is that I actually WANT to buy physical games from GameStop. But if GameStop doesn’t stock the games, doesn’t let me backorder them, and doesn’t give me a useful way to know when they’re coming back, eventually I’m just going to buy the game digitally or from another retailer.
The app desperately needs proper backordering, waitlists, restock notifications, and better information about incoming inventory. And GameStop stores need enough launch inventory that walking in to buy a new video game is actually a realistic option.
GameStop shouldn’t be one of the hardest places to stop and buy a game.
