A company existing is not just automatically a good thing. If there weren't any Gamestop stores anymore that opens up the retail space for, say, Micro Center or Fry's Electronics to step in and fill that role and do a better job, create more jobs, etc. That's true also for all the other resources Gamestop consumes, their exclusive contracts with businesses, pre-order bonuses, underpaid labor, whatever. There's a term, 'Zombie Corporations' for businesses that are both stagnant and also generally aren't very beloved by their customers, but are still able to stay in business due to some localized monopolistic factors. Those kinds of companies exist in every sector and still 'make money' but they're usually the kind of companies short sellers target. Getting rid of them is not some fundamental ill of society - yes it could in theory make some people lose their jobs, but it also keeps the economy going. If this kind of things didn't happen it would be impossible for new businesses to come up and with those new businesses new job creation, new ideas, etc.
