GameStop has pivoted to some extent. It's incredibly rare that I go into one of their stores, but the last time I did it was less of a games store and more of a gaming merchandise store. Their acquisition of ThinkGeek and subsequent selling of those products in stores is satisfying a niche that nobody else (apart from maybe the mom & pop comic book store) seems interested in.

Their acquisition of ThinkGeek and subsequent selling of those products in stores is satisfying a niche that nobody else (apart from maybe the mom & pop comic book store) seems interested in. Maybe it's just my personal preferences, but I can't imagine myself or anyone I know buying enough "gaming merchandise" in significant numbers. If I need a game, it's either digital, or physical through amazon with same day delivery. It's the same with other gaming-related merchandise. I go for whatever's cheaper/on sale, which is usually bestbuy or amazon.
