Gamestop actually has some unique ideas to restructure the company that I like, but their management and practices have put them so far in the hole I don't know if they'll even get there.

You cant have a functioning society without games. And that is why, Mr. President, we must stay open.

Now if youll excuse me, I have to go to my local GameStop to pick up my preorder copy of Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Reggie out

unironicly, i think this is why they're staying open. Cuz they know people are gonna buy games to occupy themselves during this and dont want to lose any money off this opportunity since they're basically floundering right now as it is >_>
They're not floundering, they're collapsing. No bullshit. Internally, things are not good.

I read a Business Insider article a while back where employees revealed that upper corporate management supposedly had no idea that full digital downloads even existed until after the PS4 and Xbox One launched.

I understand brick and mortar stores aren't doing as hot, but in Gamestop's case, they are ludicrously more out of touch and disorganized compared to others.

People are going, because they don't take the virus seriously. Plus way too many people hooked on pre-order bonuses and getting a discount, etc.

Is it true that if Game stop had to shut down for even 1-2 weeks, it would be enough to kill them altogether?
I bet so. It's no secret they've been dying for years.

@Solar_Crimson

Pretty much, yeah. Hopefully Reggie gets a nice multi-million dollar compensation for when the Gamestop ship sinks all the way down. Granted, he doesn't start till April 20th and Gamestop might be filing for bankruptcy before that if enough of their stores are legally forced to shutdown.

They've suspended all trade-in and trade-in promos across the entire company (like, including the international stores).

This is actually kind of nuts. I know they reported they had $1.6B in *actual* cash last year (which was actually an insane amount considering a company like Walmart only had ~$9.5B in their last report), so not sure how much that's fallen this year because I don't think their Form 10-K is out yet.

I don't think closing for two weeks would put them out of business, but they're clearly being short-sighted and trying to cash in on this.

This is fucked up because GameStop is actually a dying company you'd think they'd actually save money during a time like this shutting down for awhile and not paying their employees but no I think this is there way of punishing their employees, like 'fuck you, you are the reason why we're not succesful here why don't put your lives at risk and sell video games!'
