Funny you say so... apparently they changed their minds and are doing exactly that. Get those timeshare flyers ready!

Like them shutting down Cali stores due to the coronavirus on its own wouldn't have been bad because at least there is a legit reason for it. Everything they did prior to that announcement just made things look worse for them.

Yeah, they make themselves look shitty, then act surprised that people think they're shitty. Trying to classify themselves as "essential" because a handful of stores carry a few webcams and keyboards was already a tenuous proposition before you add in anything that has to do with exactly how much contact with items and customers happens on the daily. Not even counting people who trade in grody discs and roach-infested systems, just contact in general with high-touch items like controllers, physical media, and cash is not the greatest idea during a nationwide quarintine.
It would have been easier to ride this out for a couple of weeks than shoot themselves in the foot with monumentally bad PR before turning around and shutting things down anyway.
