GameStop's President Resigns!

Avalith | April 17, 2008 | News | Company 
After confirming midnight launches of GTA IV, GameStop managers have learned that their beloved president is stepping down. Why? Apparently he wants to become the CEO of a company. Some of you may have been familiar with him as EB Games' president in North America, but he became the president of GameStop in 2005 after the two companies merged.

Well, best of luck to him in whatever company he decides to become the CEO of.
GameStop managers today received an email from CEO Dick Fontaine, informing them that President Steve Morgan would be resigning from the company. Morgan was previously Electronic Boutique's President of Stores-North America and President-Electronics Boutique Canada, appointed to the position of GameStop president during the merger in 2005. The following is paraphrased from said official email, the gist being confirmed by several GameStop managers via telephone conversation.

    The only changes here is the ownership. Everything else is still on course chris.

    It really doesn't matter who reigns, i just go to get games. If they disappear i'll go to another store.
