How do they manage to stay in business?

With digital distribution, do you think Gamestop will still exist by 2020?

They'll die soon unless they find a way to get in on that digital distribution, or some new console comes out that requires physical copy only, but I don't see that happening, so yes, they will die, not sure about 2020, but before 2030 for sure, will face same fate as Blockbuster.

They'll stay around for at least the next ten years. ISP's are being assholes by capping data transfers and throttling connections, so downloading a 100gb game isn't always super practical. It's a lot easier to bring a disc to a friend's house than it is to wait several hours for a game to download. Also physical media allows for a used games market.
