On a somewhat more pleasant note wrt the company, they've been picking up ex-Amazon(AWS specifically) leadership to try and transform the company for the modern digital gaming market.
Whether this'll be successful or not we'll have to see but I think the company definitely has the potential to turn around and offer themselves as a decent digital storefront.

- asdff 6y agoI don't see why microsoft, playstation, or nintendo need the middleman of gamestop when they all each have their own digital storefronts directly under their own control. If you are gamestop, this is the line you have to tow and tell shareholders, because there isn't a viable route otherwise. that doesn't necessarily mean what they say they are working on is going to work, or that they even believe it will work for much longer than it takes for the C-level team to have one good quarter under their belt and find a new job before the thumbs they put in the dam can no longer keep it from bursting.
