In fact, half of the customers who have bought digital content from the retailer were doing so for their first time, a trend that Brad Schliesser, GameStop’s director of digital content, hopes will continue. “I always believed if all we did was take customers who were shopping at the Microsoft storefront or the PlayStation storefront and make them our customers, that doesn’t benefit the whole,” Schliesser said in an interview withGamasutra....

There goes my food budget One of the more difficult things, for me, about being a gamer is finding ways to display my love for the medium in ways that aren’t entirely tacky. Sure, I’m wearing a juvenileMega Man 9shirt as I write this, but I attempt to be fashionable. Gaming t-shirts are nice but I’m at an age where I shouldn’t be wearing them to job interviews, dates, funerals, or into random houses I think are mine as I drunkenly stumble my way home at night....
