I know GameStop brought in new leadership, but a turn around is a reach, in my opinion.
To me, GameStop is the mall store (problem), that required me to pre-pay for product expected to be wildly popular (problem), offers me $2 for physical media (problem^2) so that when I go in they can offer me used for $58 instead of new for $60 (problem).
The future of gaming is downloads and streaming. GameStop may be able to generate revenue for a while selling used last gen systems while the current new consoles launch, but there's nothing about their position or business model that has a strong future. Plus, I'd say their long history of horrible customer satisfaction mean they don't have the brand loyalty for a pivot/reboot.
I don't think it's unethical to short that.
