Our governor has alluded to the same if businesses aren't taking employee's temperatures upon arrival (something he mandated a few days ago). It's pretty sad that Gamestop can't take the hint. The other stores that are staying open I can see (Lowe's in case somebody needs a water heater/plumbing/etc, pet stores for vital pet supplies), but there is nothing in that fucking store that is "essential". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you ignore the other posts here saying they went yesterday? I think you are being a little dramatic here. It gets to a point that this is not worth tanking the us economy over. People preordered a game? They should be able to go pick it up. People need to sell some stuff for cash they should have a place. Sounds like to me the employees are taking precautions. Posts like this are going to look so dumb by the summer. Y2k esq. This marshall law state everyone wamts to declare is so effing ridiculous. Whether you like it or not gamestop does provide a service and they run a business. Wtf are they supposed to do? Just shutting down ismt a viable option. We are destroying businesses that might not ever recover and come back because of some asymptomatic in many resporatory illness. Old/sick people should stay out of public places. The world needs to keep moving. Public health > video games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are ways to fix the economy that don’t involve endangering the population because someone thinks they need the newest DOOM. It’s why our politicians on both sides of the aisle and medical experts are advising a self quarantine and only shopping for the essentials. Games are not essential, despite what asinine things GameStop is saying. The latter point being the reason for this thread. At some point I think people need to be prioritized over money. And I don’t believe GameStop should be exempt from that. The fate of the economy doesn’t rely on whether they remain open or closed anyway.

The world needs to keep moving. The fact that some can be asymptomatic is what is dangerous. Old people can be at home and still catch it from someone. Everyone needs to limit movement/shopping to essentials. That will keep the virus in check. Sorry, but the law says essential services only. Gamestop trying to claim to be essential is laughable. They say there's no atheists in foxholes. There's also no libertarians in pandemics. Edited March 21, 2020 by Tulpa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea definitely a shitty company, but if they want to be open for people to get some quick cash trading stuff in, then that should be allowed. If an employee doesnt want to work then let them not and come back when the ok is granted. If an employee wants to work and people want to come to the store, then they should be allowed to. They suspended trade ins. They should close like the rest of the non essential stores. It is only about money for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When its not you ots pretty easy ti say killing thousands of businesses is the way to go. From what I have seen, several of my local video game stores, mom and pop shops are staying open by delivering games to customers or just transitioning to selling online. Unfortunately, sometimes businesses have to adapt to survive a time of financial crisis. Clearly the ones I go to are trying to do just that.

This arbitrary future date thats in limbo and changes on a whim of when life might resume. People cant just stay in their homes. There is going to start to be unrest. And then you will have tanked the economy for nothing. Weve had pandemics. We havent shut things down. This is media driven hysteria. This reminds me so much of y2k its not even funny. Tons of people are asymptimatic. Most are barely sick, and the more actual tests that get administered the lower the death rate. Its already extremely low. If you are in a risk group you should isolate while the rest of us develop herd immunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kguillemette | 1,544 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 If they did not suspend trade ins I could at least buy the argument of being essential as a sort of pawn service for people who need cash. But they aren't, so they may as well close. Are they even making any sales? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
