I have been thinking about this for some time, but maybe not how the question has been posed. Also I wonder if adapting if you don’t have a choice?
Anyway. Things have changed are there are a few people that I use to chat with on Facebook a lot before the Covid, and know we chat every couple of months if that. An other thing I can’t seem to get over is that in 2025 there are still people that will wear a facemask but will only cover their mouth, or but it under their Chin. We have already been through this and no one cares anymore either wear the mask or don’t.
Anyways the thing about Covid that I find interesting in 2025 is all the business that still blame Covid for their bad luck.
There is a store here that their hours are from 12-8 because they don’t get a lot of Business and they have been hit by Covid just like everyone else. but there are times that people will show up between 12 and 8. But any time you ask them about it. The only thing they say is we got hit by Covid just like everyone else. I am sorry it’s 2025 if you need to hire someone else do it. I know this lady that would love to work part time at an Adult store.
There are two games stores that went out of business and they both blamed it on Covid. Now I am not saying Covid did not have some kind of factor on the numbers, but here’s the deal.
When the first game store opened two years before Covid, everything they did was pay to Play, and I told them this was not going to work. No one is going to drive 12 miles to learn from some lady with a special degree how to play Snake’s and Ladders when 1) they could just play at home. 2) where I live there are 12 game stores in a 25 mile Radius that they can play at for Free. Now even without a business degree I could have told you that if people have to pay for everything your not going to be in business very long, even if COVID didn’t happen.
The second game store also opened before Covid, but they were more geared to the collector, and they did not support community growth very well. And if people don’t have support they are not going to come around.
Bad ownership got a huge break with COVID.
I think that is it for today. So until next time keep gaming.
