Report: Walmart (Not) Ceasing Sales of Most Video Games Following Mass Shootings (Update)



Update: Walmart reached out to IGN to clarify their comments regarding this policy. Allegedly the statement from LeMia Jenkins was in regards to the signage policy, despite IGN repeatedly asking about the halt of sales altogether. After their initial report was posted, Walmart reversed the stance given in the original statement. IGN updated:

We have since clarified with the aforementioned Walmart representative that the company has ?not given any directive to remove video games from the shelves.?

This still doesn?t address Erik Tyler Louden?s tweet claiming that his Walmart is no longer selling video games. It may be a decision being made on a store level to remove games from display entirely, in accordance with the previously reported signage policy.
