Is gamestop perhaps justified?

My full response of my view is above this quote. I think the two of us are just projecting different futures based on Gamestops model. You saying Gamestop is damaging to the industry, mine saying Gamestop is a part of the industry and any damage to the industry is happening mostly on part of the publishers. Here is an analogy as to how I see it:

It is the equivalent of a guy asking someone to chop off his legs because he keeps tripping over the curb in front of his house. (He doesn't think it is his responsibility to chop off his legs and refuses to do it himself in case it turns out to be a bad idea.) The justification for drastic measures like this when you ask him? He doesn't feel justified taking out the curb and placing a ramp in front of his house instead unless he is in a wheelchair.

That's an... interesting analogy.
Except, you seem to be assuming that I think either side is doing anything good for the industry.
I think they're both (gamestop & the publishers) shooting themselves in the foot; driving each other to deeper and more desperate acts of avarice and douchebaggery.
It would actually be a little entertaining if I wasn't a gamer.
No matter who "wins", it's not going to work out well for us. And if they both "win," we're totally screwed.
