First order of business for their new CTO - fix the website: Access Denied You don't have permission to access "http://www.gamestop.com/" on this server.

  This is from accessing https://gamestop.com https://gamestop.com right now ...

  I think gamestop blocks visitors from abroad, I missed many glitch sales because of this.

    Gamestop is in Europe though. Seems more like a mistake than something deliberate.

  Footer still shows 2020 as a copyright date, too. Not that it really matters - but i've always thought it was kinda funny when people just don't use a static start year with a dynamic {{ now.year }} so it is always up-to-date.

    There is always the chance they considered automatically showing the current year, but counsel advised them against automatically applying a copyright date later than the last modification of the work.

      I was asked to modify an application to do just this for similar reasons. The issue was that the server was in UTC and someone had noticed that the copyright date was a year in the future on one of our web apps[0], which resulted in a help desk call on a holiday. It was unhelpful that the individual noticing the problem worked in legal. We weren't told "last modification of the work" but we were told we could not display a date in the future. I wouldn't be surprised if "last modification of the work" is the correct approach. [0] Someone didn't have a date for New Years' Eve, I guess.
