I do not understand all the negativeity for Cyberpunk. Am i disappointed that I bought it at relaese and the price sunk incredibly fast? Yes! I did enjoy it though. It is not up there with Horizon Forbidden West or Outer Worlds even, but it was entertaining. I compare it going to a "Blockbuster" movie and it being a dud honestly.

Wow, Cyberpunk is that bad of a game to be $5?
Not at all. At least, not after the 1.5 update that released a few months ago. It does feel a bit too ambitious at times and some ideas and systems are half-baked but overall I really enjoyed my time with the game. A surprisingly strong story with addictive gameplay. It was never going to live up to the hype post-Witcher 3 but it's a shame that the issues on consoles at launch forever tainted the game's reputation, along with CD Projekt Red. I get it, though. I'd have a hard time overlooking the past 16 months and trusting CDPR if I paid full price for the console version in 2020.

Just stopped into a Best Buy for the first time in a long while. Man does this chain have the vibe of a place that's about to go out of business. Store was practically empty. Not much on the shelves. Most of it full price. The door security guy was spitting time at the customer service desk. Only one guy at the register and no line. Reminds me of the last time I visited a Fry's Electronics.

Except Best Buy is actually doing very well from an investors standpoint. From Barrons (March 2022): "Best Buy stock was up 11% to $112.22 on Thursday, on pace for its largest percent increase since May 2020."
All retailers got hit hard during the holidays and inventory is still catching up. Best Buy's plan seems to be to transition its stores into warehouse-like storage centers for larger and pricier electronics (and warranties) that it can make bigger margins on. Movies and games, of course, are on their way out.
We'll see whether this works. Competition is always good so I'd like Best Buy to stick around so that Amazon has some competition. We all lose when competitors close shop, and Amazon has shown time and time again it's happy to just price match its competition rather than offer its own regular sales.
If/when Best Buy fades out, it'll only hurt us.
