(operator of Funcoland stores) was acquired by B&N in 2000, there was a corporate restructuring, and Babbage's Etc became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Funco. The name at that time was changed to GameStop, Inc. GameStop went public in 2002. The company acquired the Electronics Boutique chain in 2005 for about $1.44 billion in cash and stock.
