A) Gamestop sucks and needs to be buried

B) Every company is going to try and make themselves "essential retail"

But because of A, screw Gamestop.

to their defense, electronic stores were deemed "essential" by the government, so

they might have a case here

They are the next Blockbuster. This poor taste move won’t save them.

I've never stepped foot in one, so I wouldn't know, but I assume they sell some form of electronics and equipment other than just video games, no?

I’m sure they’re considered essential by people who have been socially distancing prior to any virus scare.

I like GameStop. I dont find it necessary to buy certain games at launch when they are $60. I'll usually go when they have the buy 2 get 1 on pre owned and just stock up on good games for cheap.

There's no way their turning profit by getting stores open right?

On second thought, with so many people staying home maybe the demand for a game store is as high as ever.

That’s really sweet that your wife’s boyfriend buys all of your switch games for you

That must’ve been some vasectomy

Digital downloads made GameStop non-essential.

Since the vast majority of college and pro athletes are gamers I would say the fans are easily the most obese.

Take away those athletes and it’s probably close.

For forcing their workers to work in potentially unsafe conditions. Why are you rooting for that?
