In this panel, James Takenaka and Dan Yarrington will discuss the rising costs challenging local game stores.

In this panel, James Takenaka and Dan Yarrington will discuss the rising costs challenging local game stores. We'll evaluate margins across the industry and listen to tales from the audience of how the current climate of shrinking margins is affecting the viability and profitability of the Friendly Local Game Store. With a fixed MSRP for most products in the industry, downward pressure from discount game stores, and upward pressure for cost of goods, is squeezing more margin out of the local game store economy feasible?
