While I understand the death of physical is a problem for the entire industry, Walmart specifically I vaguely understand doing it.
They already put their entire game section behind locked cases forever ago, meaning they require often multiple keyholders on staff nearby to keep just that small section functioning. And the section itself just kept shrinking. Not to mention they are allergic to putting their games on sale so they end up having still full priced games that are years old taking up space that gets nowhere until it gets thrown away.
Its really an issue of the demographics who shop at Walmart made them put it under lock and key to prevent theft, which started this entire downward spiral.
So, as always, we suffer the effects of letting niggers exist in our country.
This is a potential answer to the question that I came here to ask: Walmart doesn't want to make extra money? The criminals could be making it unprofitable. Surprising that it could come to that, still.
The Walmart video game section was the first place I ever saw to employ that locked case method. Which tells me it was one of the first places to see enough theft that they couldn't just write it off as the normal level in the budget anymore.
Because those things are an otherwise net loss for both the customer and the company. Customers will pass up on impulse buys because of the extra hassle, and the company has to basically tie a bunch of employees to a small section of the store (with its own checkout) and devote their time entirely to that purpose.
So it must have been that bad of a situation to make them do it anyway, which has probably only gotten worse like everything else.
Every store budgets for shrink/theft, but you can tell society is getting shittier as all Walmarts now have that annoying, one-way alarm barrier, nevermind the exodus from leftist shitholes such as Portland or San Francisco.
