Bad as it sounds, they sort of are essential right now. People probably looking to get a console and some games to keep the backlog heavy to keep themselves occupied for however long this...……..thing lasts.
No use wandering into a big box store like a Wal-Mart, Target, Best Buy etc. with a shitload of people in there when you can walk into a GameStop and just be you and the clerk in the store. Yes, I know. Don't go out. But we all gotta go out for stuff sooner or later.
Online shopping obviously is the safe way to go right now. But even the e-retailers and the shipping companies can only do so much.
