    Growing up in late 80s video games was not a part of life but few years into the 90s i have started playing them but to some sort of limited time .back then video games were simple all around in terms of graphics and concept but all that have changed when the Sony PlayStation have reached the market and me ending up getting one all of that have set sail for a journey of playing video games which started back with PS1 all the way to PS4 . 

      

     Finishing up high school in Saudi Arabia and moving to US for higher education have introduced me to gamestop. 

I haven't herd of the store before in my life and one day I was shopping in a mall and came across one store that have got my attention as being a person who loves electronics in general so have got closer to it not knowing what is exactly at first thought it was electronic store with wide selections of cellphones.For every single step that I have walked got  me hoked with that name and looking for it whenever I change cities.

   

        it's important to realize that i'm not the only one who show up at gamestop or even stand in a line waiting for a game there is more to it. I think competition between video games studios and publishers has set the wheel in motion that got millions hoked to Gamestop.

      An industry that grown rapidly in size and revenue and became hard to ignore as part of entertainments it seemed like wild fair where started small with some dry grass to be so gigantic that every one noticed that wild fair which is the gaming industry. studios around the world have started to grow bigger in number and in size creating games to be sold in market and reached by consumers.

 Reaching out consumers have spawned game related store specialized in video games.Game stop have been around since the 80s and ever since the store chain have  reached over 6,000 stores around the world . 

            The idea of gaming have expanded from one player or at the same room to use the power of the Internet to make online gaming possible. Online multi-player have increased sales of consoles and games that features online connectivity. In mid 2000s  gaming industry have picked up on the idea of making most title to be playable online with that games like halo and call of duty popular and not only that but players start to pre-ordering them and going to stores hours before midnight just to pick them up. Moreover it became an exciting event that when asked gamestop manger he said"whenever I see long lines in front of the store I get pumped and I don't see that as abnormal change in our culture".
     
       Additionally you would think being in a close proximity to school area that would shoot the number of customers higher. At first I thought the locations of gamstop near bloomsburg will be effaced generally by the number of students during school time and and after but instead it surprised me the store get even busier when less students are around. I found about that after i had conversation with the manger of the store he said "the location of the store is weird we got busy over the summer when the are no students around".
