Reuters:

Video game and electronics retailer GameStop Corp is holding talks with private equity firms about a potential transaction after receiving buyout interest, people familiar with the matter said on Monday.
I know that this is a lot drier than the news/posts I normally share, but I felt this was worth noting, especially considering that similar firms were what lead to the death of Toys R Us.

And oh yeah, GameStop owns ThinkGeek right now too, after blocking Hot Topic from buying them.

I’m no GameStop stan or anything, just a shame to see another brick and mortar retailer get strangled like this.
