GameStop announced that it will permanently close down over 300 brick-and-mortar stores in an effort to "de-diversity" its business. The company closed down 331 stores last year, bringing the store strength down to 5,500 locations. Much of GameStop's focus markets are those parts of the U.S. with sub-optimal Internet bandwidth that blunts the advantage digital retailers like Steam have over it. Besides game hard-copies and coupons for cash, GameStop also retails game consoles and accessories. The earnings call that included this announcement also had a comment about a possible delay in the release of PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X as supply-chains around the world are severely disrupted, not to mention people's disposable incomes.
 
This was not entirely unexpected and as better internet to rural regions continues to improve this will impact Gamestop revenues even more in my personal opinion. 
 

Not exactly trying to say I like gamestop all that much , .... but in the overall sense, I don't like to see any store that tries to focus on gamers being shut down.
     Gamers need to stick together
