If any British folks here used GameStop, they're still offering online services to the U.K. Just... they've ditched retail.

I don't live in the UK, so I could be asking a stupid question, but why move all GameStop operations online except (apparently) for those in the Republic of Ireland?

I don't think I've ever seen a GameStop. I've seen GAME and GameStation, but never GameStop, so I guess this doesn't affect me too much.

If there aren't many of them here, it doesn't seem too hard to find a possible reason why they're shutting them down.

I only see GAME and EB Games but maybe that's because I'm in Australia.
