Not too much sympathy.

Gamefly has been a better service. Blockbuster had ridiculously short rental times which meant (since I rent before I buy) that I would have to make the game my life for it's rental period. At my age, that isn't a viable option. (I understand that they lengthened the rental times AFTER I switched to Gamefly but that was too little, too late ....... much like their deceptive "No more late fees" campaign or their abortive attempts to launch their own Netflix-like service only to kill that through insistence on retaining iron-fisted control over everything.

It is sad to see it go in a nostalgia way but they've been digging their own grave for years.

Plus, if Extra Credits is right, the idea of physically renting games will become moot soon enough.
