It may be convenient to just order everything off of Amazon these days, that comes at the expense of local game stores that provide not just our games, but frequently spaces for the gaming community to play and meet.
While you probably won’t get a better price (thanks to Amazon’s “Most Favoured Nation” agreements preventing anyone who sells on their platform from offering a better price anywhere else). You can at least be sure that the profit goes to a local business rather than a multinational residing offshore.
After all, when’s the last time Amazon organised or supported a local gaming event?
