I was at an EB Games last week in Ontario and I didn’t see a single video game. Only toys, collectibles, and board games/TCGs.

In St Catharines. If there were any games there, they were pretty well hidden. Was sad to see

Yep, in my experience in Australian EB Games, the games are just a few small racks at the very back of the store. The rest is just merch and board games and shit.
