"Gamer-rider.com writes-- All of that is set to change with the PlayStation 4 and Gaikai, as Sony has promised that every single PS4 games will be available digitally, and instantly. Meaning that the minute you want to play a title, it becomes a simple matter of “click and play”. One can imagine that this is the last thing that execs at GameStop wanted to hear. Numbered are the days when gamers would line up in the cold winter nights outside their local GameStop for midnight releases of big titles. To make things worse, Gaikai and the PS4 have the potential to completely destroy the used game supply that GameStop heavily depends on, as digital copies of games are tied to a specific user account."
This article explains how to link your Steam and PlayStation Networks accounts, which is becoming a must for Helldivers 2.

Steam is changing its refund policy, but you probably won’t be affected
Should have happened a long time ago. People wanting refunds after 50 hours in game.
I'm not sure why you're getting disgrees. Whilst not all PC gamers are petty, an awful lot of them are lol
Entirely untrue. Not any more petty than console gamers. The only large difference is console gamers don't have much of a choice.
Not sure why you're getting agrees. an awful lot of console gamers are overemotional twinks ready to go to war over a plastic box, I'll take being a pc gamer then.
Speaking about overgeneralizing much.
Daily reminder that 'TheGamer' is a corporate-generated, anti-gamer, anti-consumer, clickbait web site. They are mostly A.I. generated articles that villainize gamers. They provide nothing positive and actively try to provoke and divide the community through extreme view points and politics. Do not give them any clicks.
Only scumbags? As if people don't play their games on console put in the most amount of hours and return it to GameStop and trade it in for another game. But also how many people are actually do this? And what games have been allowed to be refunded?
You can refund any game you've purchased as long as it hasn't been longer than two weeks, and you've played less than 2 hours. I wish they would change it to 3 hours because some RPG's have so much exposition that you may only get an hour total of complete gameplay. That's my only knock on it. I've refunded plenty of stuff I was just curious to try. I typically stay away from Early Access titles which are the only ones affected by this policy change.
Apparently early access doesn't count, only complete games with a play early preorder bonus.
I never liked refunding anything. Even if a film is bad, i dont want my money back. Sometimes things just aren't for me, and it's not the creator's fault necessarily.
I feel you and i have never walked out on a bad movie cause I payed my money. I also don't refund games cause I'm a gamer and I know what to buy lol. I think having a digital refund is great.
Certainly not from Sony.
not facing extinction. It's a retailer, they sell games, no platform is currently download only. I personally perfer physical copies of my games, cases purchasing the walkthroughs ect it's like a collector's item to me. also I don't the "no used games rumor coming to frutation soon". With both sony and nintendo supporting the secondhand market, microsoft from a business standpoint would avoid isolating their console
You no before when people would hate on gamestop I would think they were just on the bandwagon, but yesterday I called them to see how much they buy back Wii U for. The guy told me 80$ credit and 50$ cash. When he told me this he almost seemed embarrassed. That is unbelievable that they would only give someone 80$ credit for a system that cost 299$ and just came out 3 months ago. So now I officially hate game stop so they can go to hell. I will never buy from them again.
Not anytime soon, I think Gamestop beefed up when there was a boom in the industry pre-smartphone and tablet. I'd often see 3 Gamestops on the same road only a few miles apart.
I think they should never have gotten out of the retro business, there is huge money in retro, they should still be selling Gamecube, PS2, PS1, Xbox, Gameboy ect.
I think they are evolving a bit as well,they sell tablets, MP3 players and things like that.
GameStop will be ok like Jek_Porkins said "they are evolving", Gamestop deals in more than just games they buy and sell used devises as well and let me just say you would be hard pressed to find a digital copy of an iPad.
