I'll bite... What is it...
I don't live in USA, But the Toys R US is also available in the Philippines and other countries in Asia.
Toys "R" Us was a large chain of big warehouse-type stores full of toys. You could go there for all kinds of things, and many in the U.S. under the age of 50 have fond memories of going there as a kid and seeing all the exciting stuff.
In 2005, investors made a leveraged buyout of the company that didn't work out. That put Toys "R" Us under an extreme debt load it was never able to escape. As a result, it liquidated and closed all of its U.S. and U.K. stores earlier this year. It still operates some other international locations as a licensor.
The lenders, who received the brand name in the liquidation, have announced they will be relaunching something in the future under the Toys "R" Us brand. What exactly gets launched remains to be seen.
Lots more details at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toys_"R"_Us if you're interested.
But- but my English teacher says that Wikipedia isn't a reliable source! Are you trying to feed me lies, sir?
Hold on, lemme call Jeff Bezos real quick, see if he can give Telltale $1B
Please do, you will be the savior of the company.
Meanwhile at the Telltale HQ
If that happened.
I think nowadays Wikipedia seems hilariously tame on a scale of relability. It's funny how Wikipedia almost works well now despite the insanity of the idea. It does have biases, which is far more of a problem than vandalism, but for noncontroversial topics it's as good a starting point as any.
