"I don't think retail is going away. But I think retail will evolve. Or the smart ones will evolve. I think it's consumer behaviour is changing, number one. Number two, Apple has set the bar real high for retail experience. So if you don't have a great physical retail experience I think you'll suffer. Buying physical things online, people have become more and more comfortable with that. There's digital, and it's also, and I don't know GAME's management, but it's also how was the business managed? Was it managed well? I think it's probably a bunch of those things." - Gamefly co-founder Sean Spector
I really do enjoy the retail experience, so I'd hate to think that it would disappear. I like being able to buy things online as well, but there's just something about walking into a physical store and buying a game that can't be beat.

Um...what? Coming from a long time iPhone user, I have no idea what this man is talking about.
Unless the "high bar" he is referring to how overpriced their retail goods are and the "great physical retail experience" refers to getting gouged, having to jump through too many hoops, and dealing with "experts" who know absolutely nothing, I don't agree with him one bit.
Apple has a horrible retail experience.
Loving is great, Evoloving must be even better.
