... so then the question becomes “Why should we come to your no frills spare every expense shell of a store when Walmart is right there and also sells food?”

It’s a typical rallying cry of new CEOs to trumpet efficiency and extreme cutting our way back to profitability.

I love Gamestop. Or I should say I loved Gamestop. I continue to patronize just so they stay around. But here’s my experience from getting Jedi: Survivor.
I didn’t get a notification that my game was available and what store I could pick it up from (They used to do this). Went to the store on release day to pick up my…

Lol...what a great speech.  I have no plan..but dont waste time and money.  umm..or else..yeah!

Dude really got up there and pulled a Farquaad...

Does this mean they’re distribution system will stop sending stores cases and cases of shit they only sold one of?

So was it his idea to kill Gamefan magazine and switch to email-only “news” which is just a shitload of ads with maybe a single article or video?

I’m so glad there is a mom and pop video game store only one block from the gamestop near me and it’s thriving.

Insert Shrek meme with Lord Farquaad saying “some of you may die, but it’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make” here 

I havent shopped at gamestop for years. This isn’t convincing me to give them another try.

Is there a bigger line of bullshit than a CEO saying “I’m not even getting paid”?

“It is not sustainable for GameStop to operate a money losing business,”

GameStop employees: Leave now. Get out. Take any other job if you can find one. Warn others to stay away.
If you thought your life was miserable before, you don’t want to see how it goes with that CEO attitude.

And that frugality will, naturally, apply to himself, right? Right???

What a huge asshole.

It is not sustainable for GameStop to operate a money losing business.

The tone of that email definitely conveys positivity and optimism toward the company, it's future, and his own leadership 

“I will be straight to the point. It is not sustainable for GameStop to operate a money losing business. The mission is to operate hyper efficiently and profitably.”

If I ever recieved an email.like.that I would sharpen up my resume asap.
