Law enforcement can only advise that you shut down. They can't force it. Unless it comes from the powers that be from the state.

unironicly, i think this is why they're staying open. Cuz they know people are gonna buy games to occupy themselves during this and dont want to lose any money off this opportunity since they're basically floundering right now as it is >_>

Digital storefronts exist. Their brick and mortar store isn't essential.

A better picture for that meme would be from the Spider-Man movie after the wrestling promoter gets robbed and when the dude asks Toby for help he goes "I don't see how that's my problem."

Is it true that if Game stop had to shut down for even 1-2 weeks, it would be enough to kill them altogether?

Based on this behavior it would appear yes.

this. walmart/target/meijer/etc is gonna stay open and sell games still. best buy is the only big store that sells games that would probably shut down outside of gamestop and used/retro game stores.

i just need best buy to stay open tomorrow after work so i can get animal crossing. not buying any other games for awhile.

My local gamestop said they would close their doors and only serve preorders and online orders at the door.

They realize if they get shut down, they are dead. Digital and mail ordering game will take over, they'll fight this until someone steps in.

WTF? FFS....

EB Games on PEI is shutting down. All non-essential stores have been asked to close. Though they're apparently doing curbside pickup of Animal Crossing pre-orders tomorrow.

The Post Office exists. Going to a brick and mortar store for physical games isn't essential either.

I love video games, but this is really messed up. And I do understand the financial position they're in, but it's hard to sympathize when they could have become a legitimately better company ages ago and this sure as hell isn't the way to do it.

So true. Plus it's survival of the fittest, something more convenient comes along and it kicks out antiquated ways.

I dunno. Funko Pops and clearance Megablocks may well be "essential" during a pandemic. Who knows?

Gamestop's gonna go out of business soon and their dying legacy is going to be forcing their minimum wage employees to expose themselves to a virus that's sent virtually everyone else in the country home.

If that's enough for their business to fold in this state, they deserve to fold or restructure into ThinkGeek (a pipe dream, I know). Shouldn't have bought so many lattes and avocado toast.

Technology obsoletes some industries. Streaming did it for video rental stores.

So I got the same kind of letter at my job, saying to present to an officer to show I am "essential service". Its eerie how similar the letter is in wording and yet I'm in a completely different industry.
