He’s right wing memeing to get another cash infusion from idiots. Solid strategy really for your average corporate sociopath.
He’s just pissed his company is on life support, and that WSB just dragged out the inevitable.
All it had going for it was the over-short-sold theory, which was sound but not enough to prevent the billionaires from just adjusting the way they play the game. The idea to become a focal point for gaming (instead of just a place to buy games and other shit) might have worked but I never saw any changes at all in that direction in any gamestops I visited. Just shelves full of products I only kinda want. And a lot of space dedicated to funkopops, which I don’t understand why anyone wants. Does anyone even still want them at this point? I don’t think I’ve every seen someone buying one.
is it me or conservative always freak out when thier R politician wins an election, did not think the things they are railing against was happening,.
after all that effort from the WSB community to save the company.
Trading in my points and cancelling my membership this weekend. 95K points should get me a few fun things before I never ship there again.
It has nothing to do with his being an abject failure as a CEO. Nope. Nothing at all.
His company is alive thanks to a meme. Get fucked, CEO
Dump the stonks!
He just needs to stop, Trumps bro-circle jerk is already full.
Whelp time to cancel my GameStop runs.
I don’t support chuds
Can’t cancel what I never did. GameStop routinely has terrible prices, poor selection (in my area), and mediocre service. I buy most of my used games from eBay, and most of my new games from Target (when on sale). Screw GameStop…
The WSB campaign to save it made no sense to me. So many better companies have gone under.
A true believer was lost
DEI is some zealous American Puritanism which has no relevance in France, so I’m confused how he made the connection?
I doubt it’s related:
The reality is that the physical side of GameStop’s business has been in steady decline for a while. In 2019, GameStop closed around 200 stores in an attempt to “reboot” the company. GameStop’s fortunes briefly rose due to its 2021 stock surge, but shares quickly plummeted following that initial spike.
They’re probably just not making a profit anymore in those regions, so they’re closing up shop, and the CEO took the opportunity to go on a largely unrelated rant.
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?)
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
Who the hell would be interested ?
Sell sell sell!
Seriously, when CEOs say shit like this they’re covering for something. Abandon fucking ship
