DVD Empire Stops Selling Games

Online retailer DVDEmpire.com is no longer selling games, the company revealed. The site, which specializes in selling DVDs over the Internet, is now clearing out its inventory of games by selling titles for 20 percent off. Believing that the game industry “only cares about mass merchandisers” and “completely ignore[s] the needs and wants of the medium to small game retailers,” DVD Empire says offering games to customers actually ends up costing them money.

This is a sad situation because it forces gamers to to go the huge chain stores to get what they need. Personally, I cannot stand going into the likes of a Wal-Mart for various reasons, so I love purchasing games or music online. After reading the writeup on their website, it’s hard to understand why even more e-tailers are not doing the same thing.
