GameStop is still in business??? I haven't seen one in years lol! I thought they went bankrupt because of this exact kind of bullshit they always used to pull
They almost did, but then there was the whole thing with people getting stock and holding, and that actually ended up on helping GS. How long they will hold out is still debatable though. Mostly because of things like this post and the other comments. They used to be great, but because of stuff like that, i refuse to order from them at this point. And there's a retro game store near me that actually has a ton of switch games. More than any GS I've been to. So I don't see a reason to go into one in person. Not to mention the rise in digital games.
By the time the last of four (!) Gamestops in my town finally closed, I am certain it had more square footage devoted to Rick and Morty shit than it did to video games.
Don't gloss over the stock issues. That was straight up Q-Anon shit with the CEO sending them secret messages because of the SEC or some absolute insane bullshit.
Please link to the CEO’s Q connection. I tried but couldn’t find any relationship besides that time the SEC commissioner compared WSB smooth brains to the Q-morons that stormed the capitol.
It's not that the CEO himself was Q like. It's that SuperStonks went nuts about how the CEO had a plan he was telegraphing to them through coded messages. I am NOT going to try and look at that cesspool to find examples, but it's pretty much all they posted about on reddit.
You aren't kidding. I bought 2 shares at the start of the hoopla just for fun. Then I watched as that subreddit just slowly went off the rails over the next several months. People could not accept that "DRS and HODL" wasn't making everyone rich, so they started inventing looney tunes conspiracy theories.
I do appreciate the spotlight it put on the abomination of hedge funds, but ultimately there's no real change to be had out of this. That was proven when Robinhood or whatever it's called got off scott free in their lawsuit a while back.

It was a giant “fuck you” to greedy hedge funds. Pretty diverse crowd got in on it.
