Littleronin Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 I have seen this in a few head-scratching places. In Fallon the local comic book shop is not only staying open and doing curb side deliveries, but allowing groups in to play Magic and other tournament games. And in Reno (even under threat of losing their business licenses) the retro video game stores and comic shops are staying open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skillzdadirecta Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 I said in another post that this will be an interesting social experiment given that this pandemic is happening at the same time that we have three of the most selfish and entitled generations of Americans in history in charge of everything. Boomers, X-ers and Millennials are not known for their selflessness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EternallDarkness Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 well entertainment is important (important not essential) especially in these trying times...I'll be running out in the morning to pick up 3 copies of Animal Crossing from BB. But from what I understand BB has instituted precautions, limiting the number of people allowed in the store at a time and the like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nokra Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Gamestop? Essential? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaxick Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Saw on Reddit one employee sent an email to higher-ups politely telling them to go screw themselves and that they're closing their doors tomorrow until other non-essential stores open again. The public is finally seeing what anybody who has worked at a GameStop already knew, they don't give a single shit about their employees.

Ghost_MH Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 At least Gamestop will stop buying used games and hardware for the next few weeks. That'll make everything better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spork3245 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Rumor has it that Gov Tom Wolf (PA) is pulling GameStop’s PA business license/operating permit and this is slowly being put on all of their doors throughout the state... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Effective March 22, 2020 – GameStop will close customer access to U.S. storefronts and will process orders on a digital only basis, moving to curbside pick-up at stores and eCommerce delivery only https://t.co/HoVyQ25e8s pic.twitter.com/WmwM6U8iin— Wario64 (@Wario64) March 21, 2020 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would definitely argue that entertainment is essential. People in true isolation without any stimulus can rapidly start developing brain damage. That, however, would be a very poor argument for keeping a Gamestop open in the age of digital entertainment, including Pornhub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not as is if people don't still have access to books/tv/their older games/etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
