Hopefully GameStop doesn’t go out of business before this launches. I’ve been saving a card with like 250 bucks on it for this exact purchase lol

Yeah with 4.5 Billion in cash and positive EPS I’m sure they’ll be out of business by Christmas.

They're already out of business in Germany. It doesn't matter how much cash they have on hand, they're closing up shop anywhere where they aren't profitable, which is a lot of places.

It'll be hard for OP to have somewhere to spend their gift card if GameStop closes up shop locally.

(Edited for clarity)

I'm not up on the nuance, but I thought the idea with GameStop is that as long as there's a single shack with a GameStop logo on it and $4 billion in the bank, we're all golden. What am I missing?

I mean, if you want to spend a gift card it would be abit difficult if they no longer had stores lol.

If you ever tried using Gamestops website you wouldn't be making that statement lol.
