Context

Building VictorySuite (victorysuite.xyz) — a platform-agnostic shop management tool for game stores
Solving the same problems we are: memberships, events, distributor management, loyalty
Membership program: ~$25–40/mo for unlimited freeplay

Would pay $100/mo minimum for full suite (members + events + loyalty + personalization + distro management) with add-on pricing
Would pay $500–1K/yr for allocation/distribution coordination
Biggest challenge: event platform fragmentation (e.g., MTG on topdeck.gg) and syncing across platforms
Believes in-person events trend is growing and AI will accelerate it

Sends inflated allocation numbers to every distributor — percentage-based allocation means “ask 10 get 2, ask 100 get 20”
Only sells online when product hasn’t moved for 6+ months — in-person demand outstrips supply
Spends four hours on the phone every Monday managing distro orders
Validated the “tier-2 distributor” concept — big shops redistributing to smaller ones
Drew the GameStop analogy: centralized sales data → scheduled shipments → transparent allocation
