The retail chain Gamestop continues to focus on nostalgic thoughts: For the new Call of Duty – Black Ops 6, the midnight releases in the stores in the United States have been put back on the schedule.
Everything used to be better in gaming - that's not entirely true, but many older gamers still fondly remember the midnight releases with small release events in the shops. That feeling has long been lost due to the strong focus on digital sales channels - Gamestop, of all places, is now bringing the emotions back, at least in part.
midnight launch for Call of Duty
Gamestop has retro thoughts has long been a fool: In the USA, the retail chain own shops all about nostalgic gaming, with ModRetro the next anticipated hit is coming in the Christmas season. And for the release of Call of Duty - Black Ops 6, the aim was to lure people back into the stores for the release so that everyone could celebrate the game's release together.
Before the days of digital sales campaigns, it was mainly the Gamestop chain that attracted attention with such events. Gamers met at midnight on site, bought the games or picked up pre-ordered copies - and spent time together around the official release. You met like-minded people, equally crazy gamers, that made for a good feeling. The release of hits like GTA 5 or The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim became real events.
With the triumph of digital releases, Gamestop gradually scaled back the midnight events. Only with the new focus on the retro idea are the small celebrations returning to the shops and the minds of the gamers. Fans are increasingly criticizing digitization, games without ownership or consoles without a drive.
In the United States, not all Gamestop stores have taken part in the events surrounding Call of Duty – Black Ops 6, but the campaign is basically a first step in a good direction.
