GameStop TV features programming designed to speak to the consumers shopping in GameStop stores.

Bonuses typically include extras such as exclusive characters, weapons, and maps.
For example, GameStop included an additional avatar costume for when it was released in November 2010, and a pictorial Art-Folio for. Soundtracks, artbooks, plushies, figurines, posters, and T-shirts have also been special bonuses.MovieStop GameStop founded in 2004 as a standalone store that focused on new and used movies.

The locations opened in 80 malls as for the holiday shopping season. GameTrust Games In January 2016, GameStop announced a partnership it had made with with their 2016 title. GameStop executive Mark Stanley said the concept was to help the chain have more direct communication with players, and would expect to expand out to other similar distribution deals with other developers if this one succeeds. Subsequently, in April 2016, GameStop announced that it was formally creating the GameTrust Games publishing division within the company to serve as a publisher for mid-sized developers. In addition to Insomniac Games, GameTrust Games is working with, and to prepare more titles to be published by the end of 2016.

GameStop acquired the remaining 50.1% that it did not own in November 2013. GameStop tried to target areas for potential new Simply Mac locations in slight smaller markets that did not have an existing within a reasonable driving distance.In January 2017, GameStop closed a large number of Simply Mac locations.
The chain had as many as 70 locations at the time of the announcement. After the closings, a few recently vacated Simply Mac locations were replaced by sister company. Criticism Opened copies of game titles The company has a policy where some copies of newly released games are opened and the game discs stored behind the counter so the cases can be put on display. Purchasers of the game receive a factory-sealed copy unless the opened copy is the last copy of the game in stock, where they'll receive the opened copy sold at regular price.GameStop's check-out policy allows employees 'to check out one item of store merchandise for personal use for up to four days', with the intent being to allow the employee to evaluate the game and learn about its content. This check out policy does not apply to new as well as used merchandise, but sometimes managers abuse this system and it does happen, which has been a hotly contested practice among the community.GameStop came under fire from critics when customers discovered that content had been removed from the original packaging of. GameStop had instructed employees to remove coupons for a free copy of Deus Ex: Human Revolution on, a service.
GameStop stated that the coupon promoted a competitor of its subsidiaries, Spawn Labs and, which it had acquired in April 2011. Later, GameStop entirely removed the PC version of Deus Ex: Human Revolution from its stores., the publisher of Deus Ex, said that it 'respects the right of GameStop to have final say over the contents of products it sells and to adjust them where they see fit in accordance with their policies'. Used games market GameStop has been criticized by game developers and publishers for the retailing of used game titles. By reselling used copies at a small discount on the same shelf space as new copies of the game, it is argued that GameStop is taking profits directly from organizations such as developers and publishers which are solely dependent on their for revenue.
In effect, this means that companies such as GameStop can resell used copies of a game within days of the title's release and keep all of the profit, thereby cutting directly into the critical initial sales which would otherwise go to publishers and developers. Fingerprint identification It was revealed in early August 2014 that GameStop was required by the Philadelphia Police to provide when customers traded in games at Philadelphia GameStop locations. The policy had been in place since early July of that year and did not apply to the suburban areas of Philadelphia. This caused some heavy criticism from video gamers living in the affected area. Philadelphia Police asserted that the fingerprint identification would help track thieves. By August 4, 2014, the policy had been reversed in all Philadelphia-area GameStop stores.
Circle of Life policy In February 2017, it was revealed that GameStop enforced, on all of its retail employees, a program known as Circle of Life. The policy itself was made to ensure that each employee would allot a certain percentage of their sales to pre-orders, rewards cards, used games, or have a customer trade in a game. Upon revelation of the policy, many GameStop employees including current and former, brought up their stories of how the policy has led to them lying to customers. Many more claim that the policy had led to poor working conditions and emotional distress. Later into the month, GameStop reformed the program to solely focus on the store as a whole instead of the previous individual employee basis, though still maintaining a heavy emphasis on the individuals performance to maintain strong store metrics.
