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

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.You can get them online for free

This post did not contain any content.I was entirely checked out on gme until a few weeks ago, when I remembered it and decided to drop the bag. Turns out I pretty much broke even. Glad to see I was making the right move

>they’re 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.

My local stores sell steam games and PC parts, I don't think you understand the business model.. When was the last time you visited a store?

Not to mention now they're doing pokemon tcg, that just prints money.Oh yeah the trading card business too, plus all the homewares now. Currently eating dumplings out of a pokemon licenced bowl manufactured by gamestop

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.Holy fuck, it's obvious you don't feel comfortable around people you perceive as "less than you" lol. "illicit script of oxy on them and think bathing is an option" Do we have a Lemmy Uppity Award for fake narratives? If you actually walked around a flea market, as a human being, you would see it's mostly families and senior citizens. You've selected a few "characters" for your narrative and have grossly stepped into some pompous position of enlightenment. Anyone that loves cheap electronics to tinker with absolutely gets thrilled to go to a flea market with some disposable income. It takes a special kind of drug induced "sketchy" person to wake up at **6am on a saturday** to try and make some income, damn shame there's people like you out there that wouldn't give the location a chance but will walk into any corporate store without a thought to "**all the shady, drug ladened CEO's you don't want to get into a van with**". But you can't see them so I suppose that might make it better for you.

Neither of you are correct, technically, although you shouldn't feel bad about that as it's what 99.9% of people think. An NFT is a representation of ownership on the block chain ledger. It can represent ANYTHING, houses have been sold as NFTs as well as many other things. I'm curious about the claims of the guy above you as well, I certainly don't know for sure, but I don't see why it should take incredible amounts of energy to maintain block chain, and it sounds like that user is conflating crypto mining with NFTs. Note: I am not promoting either, please don't buy crypto or pointless NFT images!I'm glad some people understand beyond the headlines, I think NFTs could be really neat as a way to have some sort of in-game item or w/e, fully transferable and all that
️ Especially since most nfts I'm aware of are on the ethererum blockchain, which now uses orders of magnitude less electricity from the switch off of PoW

DEI is some zealous American Puritanism which has no relevance in France, so I’m confused how he made the connection?I don't really know much about French politics, but surely there is something similar that right wing reactionaries can get upset about there. For example a Dutch friend of mine who has been radicalized by Joe Rogan, Twitter, and Facebook tells me that you can't say anything bad about Islam in Holland, as he sends me link after link with fascist anti-Muslim propaganda. (Like... you can't say things that the "news" that you just sent me is literally saying?)

guess it's time to finally sell my GameStop stonk. Carbon hands, everyone.I bought a share at $350. Still holding. Tbh it's just not worth the effort of resetting my Robinhood password to sell it.

I bought a share at $350. Still holding. Tbh it's just not worth the effort of resetting my Robinhood password to sell it.Even if it's not worth it to you personally, it's still a good deed to sell stock in a company when their CEO does something like this. Every sell sends a small message.

I have some bad news about farmers for you...But good news about crafters. Time to double-down on making ironic kitsch that say violent things but in a cute, folksy way. Like a pretty sign with script letters and flowers adorning the edges, saying *Deny, Defend, Depose* instead of *Live, Laugh, Love*.

Impossible at this point. I'm not even remotely joking when I say I have never seen a more powerful misinformation campaign in my entire life, for anything political even, as I did for brainwashing the masses into believing that NFT = JPEG. Literally almost every human you will encounter knows the term NFT and thinks as a fact that it's just another image file type, but in particular one that was heavily memed and morons/criminals moved incredible sums of money over. They don't understand that a lot of the extremely high dollar NFT sales are just money laundering or other criminal loopholes, they just think really rich people are paying millions for monkey pictures. It's the most lost cause of anything. You might as well try convincing the world that religion isn't real; right as you may be, it's impossible to accomplish. -
