According to former Stardock business developer Larry Kuperman, retail chain GameStop was once convinced that the digital distribution of video games was merely a “passing phase,” and that once the fad was over, brick and mortar stores would continue their dominance in the industry. This would be the same GameStop that right now is selling your second-hand Funko Pops, price gouging on Pokémon cards, and riding memes as it closes down hundreds of stores. Pretty much anything but selling video games.
