Just read from gamesindustry biz:

A total of 19 branches will close across six Australian territories -- New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia and the Australian Capital Territory.

The retailer said: "Like all businesses, we are constantly evaluating our property portfolio to ensure that our stores mix is in-line with the ever-changing retail landscape. After careful consideration we will be closing 19 unprofitable stores at the end of January."

The statement went on to explain that more new stores will open in 2020, ones that have a larger format and combine both EB Games and sister brand Zing Pop Culture. Some stores unaffected by the closure are being converted into a hybrid of the two.
 
I feel websites like eBay, Amazon, Craigslist, and game trading sites and forums are making offline retail game stores less popular, and close down.
