Retail may be a liability. But real estate is not.

GameStop has small stores that should shut down. However, they also a not insignifcant number bigger stores that can become "gaming places" once we get Covid under control.

Being a "Safe place for Mom to drop the kids to play Pokemon" has real value.

Not everything must be online.

Do they own real estate?

Every GS I’ve ever seen is in a strip mall, where they are surely renting.

Yes, they do. But more in areas where real estate is cheap like the Midwest.
