GameStop vs EB Games

It seems like GameStop is being rebranded as EB Games in CA. And some point in the last month the website did flip the logo.

Once the shops start being rebranded we should thing about rebranding them all, also NSI can be updated.

There is a similar situation in IT happening now

FWIW, as of two weeks ago, my closest store was still signed GameStop with no sign of work on changing the name, but a couple of days later was already renamed in OSM.

Per comment in Changeset: 171592869 | OpenStreetMap apparently that wasn’t the only one

OSM brand contributors creating their own realities again… And maybe someone can explain to me how it squares up with automated editing guidelines?

In fairness to @wolfy1339 , the rebranding announcement webpage which CjMalone linked to earlier at “www.gamestop.ca” is now redirected to ebgames.ca. If you go to https://www.gamestop.com/INTL/choose_site_ca.html you’ll be prompted to pick a link to either the American or Canadian site, and the Canadian links to gamestop.ca are redirected to ebgames.ca. In this respect they’re already d/b/a EB Games again, even if the storefronts haven’t been updated.

Here is the EB Games in Dufferin Mall today:

Likewise I was in Chinook Centre in Calgary last week, and the location there is still a GameStop. Frankly I have no idea if any of them have changed physical signage yet.

Still a GameStop in Dufferin Mall :hourglass_not_done:

I only took notice of the change two weeks ago, but I still haven’t seen whether the local GameStop at Spruce Grove have flipped back to EB Games, so do the locations in Edmonton and area.
