GameStop is a dying game store desgined to take all your jew-gold. The employees are hired while their souls are sold to devil, in exchange to give the boss more cash. The employees can then only harass people to buy their membership with very little benefits.
You also turn in shitty games that you stopped playing to get a tiny bit jew gold, while GameStop keep making more cash.
Since stores people can digital games or buy them from online stores, GameStop has been slowly dying as desperately tries to save itself.
History
Two rednecks in Texas were bored and decided to create a store to sell video games called "Babbage's" selling Atari 2600 games, but then the Nintendo Entertainment System came took over the video game industry. So in 1987 they started get with the times and start selling NES games, which gave them a shit load of profit.
Some company that no one has ever heard of called Software Etc. that created personal computer software was merged with Babbage's to create "NeoStar Retail Group". Then in 1997 some rich person bought the companies and pwnd Neo Star to turn them into a new group known as "Babbage's Etc" and launched its' "GameStop" brand in the 1999.
Barnes & Nobles booksellers bought them and later Game Informer. To destroy competition they bought FuncoLand in 2000, and Babbage's is now subsidiary of FuncoLand. FuncoLand was later renamed "GameStop Inc".
Eventually they fucked off from Barnes and Nobles and went Independent in 2004.
Xenoblade Chronicles Incident
In 2010 Nintendo released a game called Xenoblade Chronicles that wasn't localized as Reggie Fils-Aime thought Western audiences wouldn't give a shit about it. But then the weebs created a campaign called Operation Rainfall for it other games to be localized, which Nintendo didn't give a shit about. Then GameStop decided to step in and sell the game as a limited release which caused scalpers to mass buy all copies and sell them for shit loads of money for jew-gold.
COVID-19 Pandemic
When the pandemic came around, GameStop were scared they were going to be fucked and kept themselves so they get money from Doom Eternal and Animal Crossing New Horizons and tried to justify itself as an essential business they saw through.
