A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Well if the rent and costs are higher than revenue, it'll bleed and eventually kill the business. Bricks and Mortar stores don't make as much as before.
How many GameStop shops do you actually need near you? Sounds like your area was oversubscribed.
Many great brands have died to Amazon in the UK. One day, we'll only have these big shitty businesses. Anything that can keep bricks and mortar stores in business is probably necessary.
Didn't expect them to be buying eBay though. That came out the blue.
Yeah, I get that, I just also am not sure they're doing such great business online either, they had serious issues even before and after the meme stock craze.
Mostly just ticked at people enshitifying functioning businesses.
Edit: To your oversaturation point, definitely one in my immediate area was more than enough. They also closed one down around thirty minutes from me which is kinda rough for that town and the employees there.
