I HATE Wal-Mart, and not just a little bit!
Its big mass distribution department stores like that, that crush smaller shops like mine. They completely destroyed me when it came to selling pokemon cards.
Why you ask?
I had a better price by just shy of two dollars, I had all the same sets and stock that they did, I had singles too.
but they have umpteen billion dollars they advertise with till everyone and they're dog is brainwashed or flooded with only images of wal-mart. Small business's can't compete with marketing giants like that. Especially when the wal-mart here is just around the corner from my place.
Pokemon is completely and utterly dead in this area cause they saturated it so baddly with they're capitalist, holier than thou, market destroying flood of overpriced packs.
*Seeths for a moment before regaining composure*
I hope wal-mart and every other major department chain NEVER carry magic. They don't know anything about it and just want peoples money, they have no stake or heart in it. They'll do just what they did here with pokemon and destroy the market by flooding it till everyone has seen and got everything.
I dread living in a world as a gamer where things such as game shops can't exist because they got destroyed and run into the dirt by corporate giants.
There would be no centeral meeting place, no place to go talk about the latest news or tech, no place to check out and play other games, and no place that would run tournaments and other fun events.
No Wal-Mart will do that, I almost gaurantee it.
I'm gonna be quiet now before I start shedding....
