2 of the 4 stores in Ottawa just closed and a 3rd one is going to soon. I donβt think Toys R Us is doing that well.
If 1 is profitable and 3 aren't and it's a matter of geography, that's a sound business decision.
What kind of a sane business model would benefit from holding onto (and paying taxes on) property/assets that aren't profitable? π§
Do we really need 4 physical stores in Ottawa, though? I mean yea itβs sprawled to shit but still. Looks like the Merivale is still going and itβs at least pretty central. There are plenty of other toy stores around as well, so the concept of physical locations, at least, is still cruising.
She's practically just as you remember her.
Except for the soft play area they're adding. She's enshittifying.

why is that enshittifying?
In Canada, enshittification makes things even better.
Excited to see the version of Call of Duty that the new Saudi owners produce.
Hopefully you won't experience it IRL.
Don't forget Trump's son in law
You mean Jared Kushner who along with the Saudis that bought EA?
Jared Kushner has a close relationship with Saudi Arabia, developing a strong alliance with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman during his time in the Trump administration. Since leaving office, Kushner has had significant business dealings with the kingdom, including a $2 billion investment from Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund into his private equity firm, Affinity Partners. This relationship has drawn scrutiny from ethics experts and congressional investigators.
Battlefield surely?
Battlefield: Ghaza
It's one of the aerial levels. :( :(
I'm sorry. I didn't create the news.
Gamer known as ea
I can't tell if they're an optimist or just naive.
I asssumed they meant it was already shit, so cant be enshitifed further.?
Challenge accexpted ?
I think they are claiming that EA is already shit? Iβm not positive.
No you're right, but they seem to think that it can't get worse... and it very much can.
:shrug: The EA logo might as well already be a big red stamp "DO NOT BUY!" Not like I could give them any LESS money
I think it's funny that EA publishes on steam now because you can see how bad the reviews are for e.g. the FC game. Most people are obviously not happy with the quality of the games. But some still buy them year after year, for reasons that elude me
Their base is casual gamers where it's basically the only game they buy each year. The cost is very small in those terms, and they don't want to be on the old version despite the issues.
I just assume most people are idiots. That really explains a lot of these things.
Where does a boycott end and "their products are just shit" begin?
In his first term, the economy didn't tank. That's it, that's the difference.
It did once his dead switches triggered. Remember that tax bill that gave everyone tax breaks for four years then jumped higher than before? Ya, that was intentional.
