American sales network Gametop, experiencing hard times in recent years, in turn, while it’s not going to close, but has already canceled the early nightly launches of DOOM Eternal and Animal Crossing: New Horizons. The management also refused night premieres of other expected games, since such events, as a rule, still attract crowds and spill out in line, which is undesirable in the context of the spread of coronavirus infection.

GameStop also asked employees to turn off all demo terminals and instructed specialists on how to clean payment terminals.

Earlier, GameStop employees complained to journalists about the lack of sanitary and hygienic and disinfectants at the point of sale. Workers are asked to acquire them on their own, which is difficult because the demand for such goods among the population has skyrocketed.
