Probably just pick up more hours at their main job at Walmart or McDonalds.

GamStop won't be going out of business from this. It's GameStop Stock; you'll only get $0.27 a share when you trade it in.

Gamestop wasn't anywhere near going out of business, it was turning in consistent profits before the hedge funds started artificially driving the stock price down

Gamestop is so profitable they've been consistently closing hundreds of stores a year for half a decade.

This is because of their original policy of keeping all the eb games and funcoland or whatever stores open after taking them over, leading there to be multiple gamestops within even the same mall.

As someone how worked at GameStop for 2.5 years until they closed my store right before COVID lockdowns, they ain’t doing good. Pretty much every week was a new policy they’d revoke the next week. Upper management didn’t know what they were doing and were completely disconnected from the in store workers. They had like 3 new store concepts that probably died because of COVID restrictions. They wasted time trying to adapt to a digital and I highly doubt they’ll make it to the next console generation.

gamestop last consistently made a profit in 2011, had some up and down years between 2012 and 2018, and its last profitable quarter was q1 2019 coming out of the 2018 holiday season. gamestop needs to figure out how to be a brick and mortar niche retailer in an age of increasingly dominant online sales of its core offering. since it is far too late to shift to a digital distro platform i don't see how they can't avoid a hail mary shift to being a gaming and nerd related toy store at this point

now that i think about it, the problem with gamestop is that it is a used game resale store in an environment where digital sales means you don't have a used game to sell. sort of like how used video and CD stores all died out a decade ago

I worked at GameStop for a few years and while over-storing didn't help things, they had a multitude of other problems that lead them to thier ruin.

Are you talking about Regency? If so, I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they're all still there in that ghostly husk that wouldn't look out of place as a set for the Upside Down.

Oh poo poo, I forgot about Orange Park! My other comedy guess would've been Gateway. I actually am surprised there are still stores to close; I thought by now Regency would just be a perma crime scene.
