GameStop is an Essential Business? | Games ReCAP
The retail landscape for video games faced significant disruption during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, highlighted by the controversial operational decisions of GameStop.
- GameStop faced severe financial instability entering the pandemic, reporting a negative free cash flow of nearly $500 million in fiscal 2019 and struggling to compete with digital distribution models.
- During the early pandemic, GameStop attempted to classify its physical storefronts as 'essential businesses' to remain open, a move that triggered widespread backlash from employees and lawmakers.
- Internal directives instructed staff to resist local law enforcement closure orders and use makeshift protective gear, such as plastic bags, leading to significant criticism regarding the prioritization of profit over employee safety.
