I know of 6 Gamestops in my area. Two of them are right across the street to each other, one being its own store and the other in a mall. Three of them are spread out on the same road, and now to my surprise two that are close to me now appear to be closed. And the other was in a mall that I think is also closed, but there's another down the road. Well that sorta sucks.
That sucks, really? In the past couple of years, people have talked so much crap about gamestop bad business practices, everything is going digitsl and they wish gamestop would close doen. Now that it's happening, people are surprised and suddenly forgot that they said they wish gamestop should shut down😂😂😂 this generation is so retarded, wishy washy and senile😂
My local GameStop is closing too. Almost no warning and they didn't have a theft problem. Didn't seem like their sales were bad either. Not sure how they picked which stores to shut down.
Two GameStop stores that I lived in between of in my area closed this month. Both stores were very close to Walmart stores which probably had more video game sales than GameStop. I believe that if a GameStop store has a lease close to expiring the store is probably going to close. I heard from a manager at one GameStop store that was closing the decision to close the store was made when the lease was not going to be renewed. I believe the younger generation does not see the value in owning physical video games. Instruction manuals to video games are no longer produced.
I got a random email saying that my local GameStop was shut down which was weird because there was a constant 5 or so people there every time I was there
I went to my local GameStop on January 15th, nothing was off and looked like they were gonna close down. I went to the gym yesterday (Friday). Something was off, with the GameStop next door, the lights weren’t on and it was 6 PM and not even the Saturday/ Sunday. I looked online and realized they closed down. The closest GameStop now is 20 minutes away in a mall and another near my old college. My sister said she misses those nights I use to go to GameStop to get my preordered console or game at midnight. I miss those nights as well, I started picking my preordered things up in the morning. I am hoping a used game store takes over where that GameStop was.
Nobody should be surprised by this. They were circling the drain 5 years ago before all the meme stock hype cycle. Now local retro stores are still doing well. They do everything gamestop does and much, much more. Years of more digital transformation, PC gaming growth etc. Gamestop has always been shit to their employees and its just corporate trash now. Let them all go and the local stores take all the market share. Good riddance.

I actually only buy my games at GameStop. I am a physical collector, and i feel like digital will be the death of gaming as we know it.
It will be.

You wouldn't be talking about Gratiot Rd in Michigan, are you?

@@deathboy68what’s your pfp?

Same...I got an email saying that my location has closed...I was like wait what? 🤣
The lease to the store was probably close to renewal. To save money the lease was chosen to not renew. Then the store closes.

That's not a lot of people lol
My nearby gamestop closed too. My good guess is more people relying on digital distribution
They should change the game areas in Walmarts into GameStop areas inside the stores
That would be funny!!!😂 thats actually a Good idea, though. They tried that with blockbuster back in the days. Remember game crazy?
@redcrimson1028 lol no they didn't have that where I live

I blame the rise of digital only consoles and GameStop has started selling things that aren't actually video games just character related merch.
Almost all of the Gamestop stores where I have are closing down.
Most game stops that are not making any money are the stores that are closing. They are still taking pre orders you still receive dic versions
All of the money they have stolen from good people finally coming back to them. Karma is real and she can be nasty.
They are receiving the same energy they put out! 🤷🏻♂️ they pay us cheap and sell us games back expensive 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
The one near me closed unexpectedly as well. Didn’t know it was a trend though
Crestwood Illinois closed up just now
They always added warranty without me asking, always forced them to give me back my money
My Gamestop suddenly closed too

My Gamestop just closed in October...
Why is anyone still shopping at gamestop anyway in 2025???
So I may not be able to buy my next Xbox or Playstation or Nintendo Switch 2 at a Gamestop. That would be very very different
Bestbuy Walmart, Amazon. It just means they will have more in stock since less stores to give to.
Well, it was a good run.
We're I live there is only one game stop in my whole area.
Looks like they are taking all the stock and may become an online-only gaming shop.
Reminds me of blockbuster. We all hatw Netflix now. Lets not have this happen again
I don't trust Sony and Microsoft to do digital only. Unlike valve you always keep the games even if its pulled from the store.
GameStop in portage county 2020 in Ireland
Don’t care if their closing how many do we need it’s the workers that should care losing their jobs
This is exactly what Sony wants lmao. That's why they released the PS5 Pro without a disk drive.
Sony just stopped producing Blu-Ray discs! This tells me that PS6 will release without a disc drive! 😮
GameStop and EB games are trash, why would anybody be mad about them shutting down ?
Mine is open to 7 pm
GameStop
did he just say "height sequence"? beyond dumb.
thought they died years ago.
That's good news game stop is close down 👎
Nooooo
Rip off
Don't care.
Buy GameStop shares…….
