Congrats to GameStop on being described as “struggling” when I would’ve expected “defunct” by now.
Them going “retro” makes sense to me. I happened to be near one of their locations the other day and remembered that the last time I went in there it was to ask if they still had a bin full of second-hand PS3 discs somewhere. All I got was a succinct “no.”
For fun while walking by, my wife and I went into one last year. There was a small section of games. 80% of the store was those Funko dolls and “nerd” memorabilia to put on a shelf or desk.
Oh no, no, no. How could they even be struggling? They ignore all of their customers and try to rip them off repeatedly. That’s just good business, brick & mortar style. /s
I’ll never forget my brother heading to GameStop to grab me a copy of Halo 3 for like $15. Dude in front of him in line was trading in a steel book edition. Got offered like $4 and thankfully my brother is an extrovert and went “I’ll give ya $20” which is what I’d sent him with.

Meanwhile our local Game Stop is being turned into a Wing Stop.

Are they struggling? Last I checked they had like a full literal billion in cash on hand.
For a company the size of GameStop, I feel that $1B isn’t as much as it sounds like.
You would be surprised…
More than Spirit had.
