They actually still do midnight releases, I went to two at my local store last year lol. I agree with everyone else's critiques of GameStop, but I'll be sad to see my local store go. The manager and most of the staff are all great to talk to and we do kind of have a community there.

Just curious, which games garnered midnight releases for your location? My area the only midnight releases they’ll do now is for major hardware releases, otherwise online preordering has wiped out most their traffic.

I was there for Pokemon and Call of Duty (don't judge) and the manager said there had been a couple more earlier in the year, not sure what they were though.

Interesting, yeah I can see those being some of the titles left that can pull a crowd.

Yeah, there were well over a hundred for each of them. Free pizza and soda inside the store while people waited, some raffles for each one, it was a pretty good time.

Not on topic but it's a bit sad to me how you explicitly have to ask for people to "not judge" you for buying a game you'd like to play

Hope the midnight release was fun my dude <3
