    GameStop is still in business??? I haven’t seen one in years lol! I thought they went bankrupt because of this exact kind of bullshit they always used to pull

      They almost did, but then there was the whole thing with people getting stock and holding, and that actually ended up on helping GS. How long they will hold out is still debatable though. Mostly because of things like this post and the other comments. They used to be great, but because of stuff like that, i refuse to order from them at this point. And there’s a retro game store near me that actually has a ton of switch games. More than any GS I’ve been to. So I don’t see a reason to go into one in person. Not to mention the rise in digital games.

        Don’t gloss over the stock issues. That was straight up Q-Anon shit with the CEO sending them secret messages because of the SEC or some absolute insane bullshit.

          It was a giant “fuck you” to greedy hedge funds. Pretty diverse crowd got in on it.

      Come on. People actually believe this guy believes GameStop went out of business? There are 2500 of them in the US and like 8 around Columbia SC where this guy posts pictures from in the reg. Stop being suckers.

        Well they did close many, many stores just before the whole stock market shorting thing. Like my area had like 12 and now there is only 1 still in operation. Some areas probably have 0 stores in operation, making it seem like they went belly up.
