And Redbox.
If vidya games hadn't all gone to shit they would've survived.
Renting a game for $5 and beating it in 3 days was a good deal senpai. But eventually they all just turned into cawadoody micro transaction bullshit so no one even wanted to rent games no more.

>bought out by Dish

Blockbuster was a cancer in the film industry. Watching them drown was simply beautiful.
They were one of a handful of influences that turned movies into commoditized corporate cuck garbage.

Blockbuster did try something else with it: Game rentals and return one at store, get another one to go home with while you wait for the other to arrive.
Both decent ideas, but still died to Netflix because of their other asinine policies and eventual lack of streaming.

Netflix is more garbage than Blockbuster ever was. Any chance of them getting cucked out the market in the near future?
