To be fair, GameStop has essentially become an overpriced merch retailer.

“Software, it mattered in the past. Software today makes up less than 12% of the business, and collectables makes up over half the business. So, it’s totally, totally irrelevant.”

12% of your business is no way anywhere near "irrelevant."

Idk why everyone is making fun of this. Sony made it very clear that games are going all digital. Gamestop has to take it seriously and they have been pivoting to collectables for a while now, so they are clearly on top of this. Maybe the pivot works, maybe it doesn’t, but they aren’t just sticking their head in the sand and pretending everything is fine.

Coincidentally, GameStop is also irrelevant to Games.

Game? Stop!

Used games account for over 20% of their revenue.

This information is publicly available as they are publicly traded.

This claim is a an insult to the average readers intelligence.

They honestly could just become a merch store and only carry plushies, shirts, other nick-nacks and hardware. The one nearest me is already pretty much just an authorized dealer of FuncoPop garbage as is. I'd be more inclined to visit if they carried other general video game related stuff so I wouldn't have to wait for shipping.

No worries, our plan is just to become to games what Hot Topic is to music.

I guess they're just "Stop" then.

What the hell even is our economy anymore?

Just change the store name to Stop.

Likewise, CEOs are irrelevant to game quality.

Who needs scalpers when GameStop is marking up Pokémon cards by more than 300 percent?

What happened with them being a meme stock?

This is a sad timeline where used games are becoming irrelevant and you can only pay for games that you don’t actually own and therefore can’t sell. At least the Funko Pop market is alive and well. 🙄

I mean I can’t remember the last time I purchased a games let alone at GameStop, that place is for stocking stuffers, random merch, and maybe a used controller.

They are a collectibles and trading card company. The games have stopped

This is the same one who thought he could buy ebay right? Doofus.
