Aldana v. GameStop, Inc.

A class action lawsuit, Alejandro Aldana and Scott Gallie v. GameStop, Inc., Index No. 500772/2025, has been filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Kings.

A settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit claiming that Defendant, GameStop, Inc., disclosed its online video game customers’ personally identifiable information (“PII”) to Facebook via the Facebook Tracking Pixel without consent in violation of the Video Privacy Protection Act (the “VPPA”). The VPPA defines PII to include information which identifies a person as having requested or obtained specific video materials or services from a video tape service provider. Defendant denies that it violated any law but has agreed to the settlement to avoid the uncertainties and expenses associated with continuing the case.

You are included if you purchased a video game from the GameStop website from August 18, 2020, through April 17, 2025, and, at the time of that purchase, (i) were a member of Facebook and (ii) maintained a public Facebook profile using your actual name.

If approved by the Court, Defendant will establish a Gross Settlement Amount of $4,500,000.00 to pay all valid claims submitted by the Settlement Class, together with notice and administration expenses, attorneys’ fees and costs, and incentive awards. Under the terms of the Settlement, you may elect to receive either a Cash Payment of up to $5 or a Voucher of up to $10 for use on GameStop’s website.
