Factories are being shut down in order to try to contain the spread of the virus and leaving a lot of people out of work, and supply chain orders not being fulfilled. But what does that mean for the next generation of video games?

In Tulsa, Oklahoma and a few surrounding cities, GameStop has been testing that new model of “social concept” stores. Rather than just going to GameStop to buy or pre-order a new Call of Duty, these new concept stores will allow you to PLAY the new Call of Duty, among other fan favorites, in what is basically a glorified LAN center; a concept made popular in Europe and Asia. GameStop’s versions (of which there are currently 12 being tested), are themed around Retro Games, Pop Culture, and are very community focused, with weekly events, tournaments, and even tabletop gaming areas!
