Investment question: would it be a good idea to short or buy put options on GameStop stock? I feel like that stock will decline as gaming gets increasingly more digital.

My investment advice is to ignore everyone answering this and go do your own research. But if you care to know my opinion, I would only partially agree with you. While digitising games means instant access a lot of gamers, including myself, like a physical copy as they can recover a majority of the costs of the game once they've completed it. Gamestop are also diversifying such as becoming a PSA grading company partner and selling trading cards. But ultimately its up to you, business certainly would prefer customers to own digital media as they have more control over it, but customers can be stubborn.
