Same here in Europe. I dont go there anymore. The PC section was already decimated and the hardware stuff they sell is nothing more than rebadged AliExpress crap. And yea tons of merchandise.
It's not unique to GameStop, we also have a European chain called GAME which is the same. They're trying to revive themselves with second hand consoles and phones.

Looks [0] like GAME in UK is a UK-only chain, and GAME in SA is an eventually-owned-by-Walmart SA-only chain.

- wkat4242 3y agoWell yes, it's British but also active in Spain. Wikipedia says they are also active in Ireland but they left that country many years ago (it's annoying, nobody bothers with Ireland, there isn't even a real Apple store even though Apple has their own EU Headquarters there!). And apparently they were in Sweden too at some point: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_(retailer)#/media/File:Game,_Ume%C3%A5.JPG https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_(retailer)#/media/File:Ga...
- JetSpiegel 3y agoIt's much better to just go to CeX, the (original?) Charlie Brooker chain. At least they are honest at being basically a pawn shop for games.
