My local game store used to feel like a club, now it's a showroom

We gathered to play, not just buy the latest hotness.

Read a blog post calling this the gentrification of game stores.

What's the end goal if they're not selling games to be played?

Walk into my local spot now and they hit you with a sales pitch before you can even look at a game box. They cleared out the old play tables to stack up the latest unopened releases no one gets to try. Feels like browsing a fancy museum where everything has a price tag. When did game nights turn into window shopping?
