Even though this reminds me of the days where I would lineup to get the latest Call of Duty for the midnight release at GameStop during High School, this is just sad, 200 people lined up. Big retailers not giving a flying F about their customers as long as they made their money. I think the only one that did it right was Newegg, because at least you had a chance to win the shuffle and guaranteed a purchase. Whereas smashing the F5 button waiting for a drop would be pointless and hopeless because by the time you checkout, all cards would be sold out. Amazon, Facebook Marketplace, Ebay have done nothing about price gouging. Can't completely blame it on manufacturers because of the conditions of the past year, but better measures could've been taken by retailers to protect their customers and secure purchases.
