The GameStop video-game stores in Puerto Rico will close.
The United States-based company confirmed the closure as it pointed out that the decision was made due to the government's high taxes which it alleges have affected its operations in the island.
It was reported that, unfortunately, over 500 employees will be laid off.
According to GameStop's Public Relations Director, they will leave Puerto Rico as early as March.

Well that’ll help the tax revenues.
Guess they’ll have to go shoplift their video games someplace else.
GameStop stock is a mess. I don’t get the business model moving forward
