I've never liked GameStop, they've always been worse than other stores in my experience, including some of their policies. The only downside to this is that it means people losing jobs, but maybe the stores will be replaced by better retailers...
@TriforceBun I actually feel like that may have made the problem worse. Their stores are generally small, and all that merchandise meant much less space for actual games. One of the reasons I stopped going there a few years ago is because they carried a lot less pre-owned games than they used to, to make room for all that junk. I wonder if doubling down focus on used games would have been a better approach, even if it meant closing a few stores as I don't feel like they need as many locations as they have.
