When I was around 8-9 I could walk into a GAME store (the company doesn't exist anymore) and the aisle would be packed with both new releases and classics. There was also an even spread of pc games in relation to consoles. I went back to one of their central locations in my country back around 2020; they had a few new releases on display, but no real order other than that. Their 'bargain' aisle was a complete mismatch of different discount console titles, and the oc games were practically nonexistent. I found an expansion disc for D2 and asked the klerk if they also had the base game in store, he just shook his head. They were literally selling expansion discs which were unplayable without the base game (unless you pirate the base but then what's even the point of buying the expansion...)
