Segment 1 with Gary Kusin starting at 0:00.
I remember when my kids were growing up, my youngest son Daniel visited Gamestop the day it opened up near our home. He said that now since we were so close to Gamestop, our home would be more valuable. I am not sure about that but certainly GameStop has had a big effect on the gaming industry and the stock market.
