Every Single Gaming Storefront Is Terrible

Toys R Us and GameStop are still doing well here in Canada. So my proposed solution: move to Canada :D In all seriousness, I still enjoy physical games for consoles, and still enjoy supporting those businesses. Just personally find it easier to use my eyeballs and quickly scan my shelf for a game; sometimes not even necessarily one I was thinking of, just something that I looked at and thought "hell yeah let's boot up this game." I don't get that effect with digital.

It’s so true… there is so much garbage on the eShop. And it does nothing with algorithms based on games I’ve purchased or how much I’ve played them

Total agreement on this one; I think all these platforms are missing out on more targeted sales by presenting a decent, usable storefront.Here's an obligatory recommendation of dekudeals.com -- I've found it to be a competent and helpful secondary storefront for all platforms.

Dear Steam: I am shopping on a Mac. Please do not show me Windows-o my titles.

Mildly amused at EGS not even being given a mention, despite it clearly wanting Steam's crown

I wonder if doing games journalism makes it harder for the algorithms to get a hold on your preferences? If you're basically obligated to try whatever's popular anyway, how can they tell what you really like?
