GameStop Closing All Puerto Rico Stores Very Soon

GameStop Closing All Puerto Rico Stores Very Soon
Video game retailer exiting Puerto Rico by the end of March.

In November, GameStop announced financial results that came in at the low end of what it had previously forecast, in part because a number of key games--including Halo 5: Guardians and Star Wars Battlefront--failed to meet expectations. As a result, the company's share value dipped, before ultimately rebounding.

We will have a better idea about how GameStop performed during the holiday season--an important period during which the company historically does around 60 percent of its yearly business--when the retailer reports earnings again later this year.

The closure of GameStop's business in Puerto Rico was first reported today by CyberboxPR.

Despite all of Puerto Rico's other issues, for this alone, PR won.

GameStop should continue doing great things and close all their stores worldwide

I'm sure it's more than 4 employees per store and I could have sworn I saw that it was a total of 30 stores that were in PR and they are all shutting down. This means people aren't spending money, which means they have no money.

Nah,I firmly believe most people can't see above and beyond what effects them as a person.

So them getting slighted on selling used goods takes precedent over the negative effects of businesses closing.

People harbour these feelings about any company that they feel have slighted them.

Back in the day other companies used to pop up and the world would keep moving but thats not happening anymore.

I mean in the past year Canada has seen Target leave,redbox leave etc. Thats thousands upon thousands of jobs gone and nothing taking its place.

Its a very troubling trend. shyt my country is in a full blown recession right now with our dollar free falling. Games are now $84.99 here.

Cant come at the plug
