It's the only game store in many places, and a social hub for people who see being a "gamer" as a core part of their identity. Many of them are too young to remember a time when other game stores existed.
who the fuck is hanging around a gamestop socially? That sounds like a great way to get caught up between a disgruntled employee and a customer pissed off at being offered 40 cents total for 18 games.
"Gamers". Seriously, this is a lot of people's entire social life. Including people who work there. Their shift ends and they spend the rest of the day hanging out.
