Looks like GameStop is on the chopping block again. Be prepared to see a bunch of people coming out and mocking things like "wall street bets" (I didn't really follow it other than wall street panicking that they were going to get fucked over some put's, which was funny).

Then again, I have not walked into a gamestop for at least 10 years at this point. Even the "used" stuff was stupidly overpriced and I am not a "console player". They really have nothing to offer since I also don't collect random figurines and crap.

From the post:

>GameStop has announced that it plans to shut down more stores amid dwindling sales. The retailer said it is struggling to sell new and used video game discs in-store as Americans shift toward digital downloads, streaming and online shopping. Following the announcement of its second-quarter earnings this week, bosses said they are identifying stores for closure. Worryingly, they said they would shut down more outlets than it has done in the past few years. In March, GameStop announced it had closed 287 stores worldwide over the previous 12 months, leaving it with just over 4,000 physical locations.

Once games went digital the writing was on the wall. I expected it to go the way of Blockbuster years ago. Guessing their other services and merchandising was enough to keep them going this long. Expect them to be gone in the next 5 or so years. Lot of that going around these days.
