According to gaming publication Kotaku‘s Senior Reporter Ethan Gach, GameStop CEO Matt Furlong wrote an email to staff stating the firm was “emerging from the rebuilding phase of its transformation.” The executive added,

“We’ve recently completed several projects that were part of the initial phase of our transformation and enable the business to operate with increased efficiency. In addition, we’ve continued to gain clarity regarding the right level of corporate staff needed to achieve our profitability and growth goals. These two factors informed the decision that were taken across the organization.”

Furthermore, Furlong stated that the call to lay off people was a “difficult” decision and blamed “high inflation” and “weakened consumer confidence” for the same.
