In unrelated news Gamestop stocks tank, after opening up a redundant store.

In all reality, I think it is a cool idea, but I doubt it will do all that well.

Good idea, but it won't take off.

Assassin's Creed plushie, your big brother plays the game, you can have the cute plushie!

It took you longer to complain about the link not being clickable than to copy and paste it. You just wasted your own time. Congratz.

Once again I repeat that from my phone, I can't make it a proper link. Don't be lazy bro. I'm giving you copy and paste exercise.

Gamestop Kids seems like an unnecessary thing, but that doesn't mean I don't like the idea. If they made one of those around where I live I would probably be getting games from there more often than regular Gamestop. Hopefully GSK employees are nicer than GS ones, seeing as they would have to be around kids.

Special thanks to Horchata. I appreciate it so much.

Somebody on the marketing team should have asked, "why?".

This will probably cause parents to be more open about bringing their kids to these stores now, meaning sales will most likely go up.

I approve.

Can we please start posting clickable links.

Try this. Highlight the text for the link, right click, but instead of hitting copy there should be something that says, "Go to (the copied URL)", click on that. And ta-daaa! Your there!

It is a bit easier than copy paste and it will often do it in a new tab. But I understand the mild frustration in the lack of a clickable link. Hopefully this makes things easier in the future.

It's an interesting idea I think. Like the other guys said, I think it could increase their profits by some margin if parents see there's a video game store out there where they don't have to let their kids gaze at those oh-so-traumatising M-rated game boxes as they walk over to the Wii/Kinect aisle.

I can just see the awkwardness when some 18+ year old guys try to step in there to get their hands on those plushies though... Possibly even criminal charges too considering how paranoid some people can be..

Seems like a good idea, one's opening at the mall near me. Though it already has a GameStop in there ( not the one I go to), so I wonder if there's going to be two stores or they'll close one and open the other.

But aren't the majority of kids playing games that are rated for a higher age (and still being bad at them) like Battlefield, CoD and Halo. Unless the purpose of these stores is to sell games like cooking mama and well pokemon (not kiddish, just universal appeal).
