GameStop announces plans to sell off French and Canadian outlets, while its CEO yells about 'Wokeness and DEI' in bizarre, self-defeating promotion

Recall that the first quarter after the whole WSB thing, they had something like 2 billion in cash from that whole thing. A year later, they had 1 billion. Half a year later, 500 million. All of a sudden this quarter, after shutting down stores all over the place and gutting their staff, they're claiming 4 billion cash on hand, helped out by unproven social media claims growing their stock price 30%. *doubt*. Their business model relies on physical games being sold multiple times, once when new, and then multiple times as used copies. This is why they're focusing on retro consoles. New consoles have passable online marketplaces, so Gamestop cannot compete, and are completely inferior to PC gaming, which hasn't needed Gamestop in 20 years.Theyre also going against small gaming hobby stores which while not everywhere they can offer secondary services not reliant on reselling games multiple times. Such as offering LAN parties for old games, table top games, or even movie nights. These are just things I know the shop one of my kin in Arkansas goes to does.

I was locked into FOMO and sunk cost fallacy, I'm now trying to get these scumbags at Computershare to give me my shares back so I can sell them.Yeah let me know if you ever figure that out

They don't sell a lot of video games at farmers markets and craft shows... You have to go to a flea market for that, and those are rather dodgy.What ya dont want to gawk at the gangster spongebob shirts that seem to be at every stall?

I lost $300 bucks but here's what I gained: I stuck it to the man in 2021, and I am sticking it to Ryan Cohen today.

It's really greentextIt's not I assure you... I paid like 50 bucks for the Bitcoin I think maybe 100 at most... I had it for a while... I don't care about the money it's mostly written off I just let it sit at this point because you can't time the market or something
-
I think people underestimate the mental health benefits of never thinking about whether number you canโt control or predict go up or down.I already said it but my investment is less than it's worth and I really don't care about it.. if it does go back up a lot I would rather have it and be able to sell then do another Bitcoin situation

This post did not contain any content.Sell sell sell! Seriously, when CEOs say shit like this they're covering for something. Abandon fucking ship

At the rate these chains are telling me to fuck off with my business and ignore them I'm gonna end up with nothing but farmer markets and crafts shows to shop at...Do not ask those farmers follow-up questions.

Anyone who didn't sell after the idiocy of the NFT market is a fuckin bagholder through and through. An NFT market was stupid to begin with, because it's trying to use endless amounts of CPU cycles to enforce an "ownership" system that is genuinely unneeded and **only serves to benefit Capital and Capitalists.** Hell yeah let's burn down the planet for fuckin skins in video games! /s Later, they would shut down the same market, after barely over a year and a half. This was and is a company with no concrete plans for the future that was spinning its wheels since its core business was failing and continues to fail. Diamond hands? More like Sunk Cost Hands.Akchually, NFTs don't even burn CPU cycles to enforce ownership. At best it's all created and sold by a central party, and at worst the whole thing runs on his laptop.

Let me tell you a story... I sold off all my Bitcoin and put it all into GME stock right when it was starting to go up... It wasn't much like it was worth 1000 bucks or something... And then Bitcoin went from 30k to 60k in like two months... And now it's closer to 100k Long story short I make bad choices and no fuckin way I'm selling my GME for a loss just for it to double or triple again in two months

But I guess your right...

What ya dont want to gawk at the gangster spongebob shirts that seem to be at every stall?It's moreso that the vendors seem to fall into two not entirely seperate categories. - The sheistiest sheister that you would be terrified to get in a van with. - Someone who definitely has a borderline illicit script of oxy on them and think bathing is an option, and a philosophical dilemma.

>theyโre claiming 4 billion cash on hand If that's a lie then they will get absolutely wrecked by the authorities since they're a publicly traded company.
