Given recent months of bad news from Gamestop has finally led to this recent bad news, Gamestop has announced they are closing stores starting with 180-200 stores that are under preforming with more to come.
RIP gamestop.
RIP gamestop.
No way, thats crazy. So then that will mean a good possibility that a store close by me, (a 10min drive) will have a potential to close. They're not doing so hot, because people prefer to order their games online through Amazon. I've heard it from the manager himself when I was at a store recently, finding information about the new 'borderlands 3' game.
Honestly, I don't have much faith in Gamestop overall. Retail isn't doing so well where video games (and other forms of entertainment) are concerned, and things like digital distribution and ecommerce are just going to take more and more of the market going forward.
Add to this Gamestop's mediocre reputation, and I just don't see much that's positive coming from this one.
