As I am in the retail game myself, it's always sad to see a store close. I know a lot of people whom will be affected by this. 500 stores at 5-8 people a store is 2500-3500 out of work. Hopefully this isn't in Canada quite yet, I would be interested to see what locations are being hit the most. Unfortunately with everything going digital is was inevitable just like BB.
Hard to fight the interwebs. And now Amazon wants us to feel sorry for them as well — Amazon, who killed B&N, who killed the local bookstore.
500 stores is a lot. They'll need to lower used game prices and increase the amount paid to those that sell their games there, or they will be gone by the end of 2014…
500 stores x 5-8 people per store is a lot sure.. but there's also the argument that those store should never have been open in the first place. Whatever you feel about gamestop for or against. I think I can convince you that they had too many stores. Especially considering all the complaints (or lies) they would constantly spew about their lack of money and how much things cost them. You can't justify having stores every 6th block. The gaming industry is not one that needs that much presence.

You have a point there.
Even in my suburb, we had 2 gamestops in the same commercial center. The second had been open for about 8-10 months before it had to close.
