GameStop is the last company that should be criticizing another buisness.

In one instance,the Journey Together expansion had its preorders scalped for up to $500.

In another,specific promo cards were being sold for ludicrous amounts without having been released.

Elsewhere,card shops can’t keep up with the increasing demand as prices continue to skyrocket.

Will These Changes Be Enough?

Rather, beginning with the Surging Sparks Booster Bundle, it’ll be on a first-come, first-served basis.

Doing so will eliminate customers who preorder an entire store’s allocation prior to release.

Customers will also need to provide a membership account, though a free account will seemingly suffice.

These changes were later confirmed by GameStop in an official post on Instagram.

Whether these changes will ultimately work remains to be seen.

However, they appear to be a much-needed step for a hobby desperately in need of regulation.
