Being bought out isn't going out of business but ok.

There's a decent chance if they get sold to that private equity firm. The deal is still being decided upon.

They aren't going to be GameStop anymore. Their assets will be liquidated and merged into something else. The business is done.

Sounds like there will still be stores just with a different name.

They were dead to me when I went to my local GameStop the day before Thanksgiving to buy a SNES Classic and they said they were saving them for Black Friday sales. That shit wasn't part of any BF sales! They had over 30 in stock. A sale on Wednesday would have been the same as a sale on Friday.

I'm glad they are going out of business. Fuck them.

They were most likely expecting to make x amount of money on Friday which was significantly more than the x amount they were supposed to make on Wednesday.

I dont mind gamestop especially right now with their 25 percent off elite pro on used games. Best deal in gaming for newly released games. Get a brand 59.99 game for for like 45 bucks. About 5 bucks cheaper than best buy. Like right now they have up to 50 percent extra on trade ins. Just have to know when to go there is all

I just don't see much point of GameStop outside of buying a console itself as 8 go digital only with all my games and even then you can go else where to buy a console.

They are thinking of selling themseles, that doesn't mean the stores will close if someone buys them just that things will change.

Why would someone buy them out then just keep them around in their current form which is a failing business model. Think about it.

It seems you are failing to understand what I'm saying. I said nothing about current form. Why would anyone buy GameStop if they had no value. No you let things with no value die.

Wanting them to go out of business is pretty harsh, and pretty counterproductive too.

Wouldn't the better alternative be to hope they start paying more for tradeins or whatever it is you're upset about?

They're going to liquidate the assets. That's it. There's companies whose entire business model is just buying dying companies, liquidating their assets/squeezing what little they can out of them then moving on to the next one.

True you could in Theory go to a Walmart but who wants to be seen going to a Walmart that's some peasant level shit.

Their business model has an expiration date. The lion's share of their profits is on trade-ins/used sales and reserving games. Selling new systems and games has a fixed profit margin and it's extremely low. Which is why they've never cared if you wont buy new games cause they're gutted. They werent gonna make any money on that sale anyways.

They cannot exist without the used game market, and digital distribution is already drying that up. It is only a matter of time, but personally I'd like to see them last one more generation.

Gamestop isn't dying. It's just looking to become even more soulless.
At the very least, we'll all be able to buy even more clearance Star Wars merch and Funco pops during the transition.

Always.
Go in there, right now, and wander to the back of the store, near where they keep the Vita games. There's going to be something on clearance, usually McFarlane lego knockoffs.
