    People will really blame a vague “liberal agenda” for anything , huh?

    “My business model no longer makes sense in the current market? Nah, it must be wokeness.”

    Ya know, when the whole GME squeeze drama was going on, it was real tempting to ride the wave, but I always smelled a rat, and IMHO, their business model was mortally wounded once direct downloads became a viable means of purchase. Without games being reliant on physical media, inventory shrank, and it seemed like most of their floor space was more focused on selling FunCo figures than games.

    It didn’t surprise me when Cohen started cutting jobs, and I honestly think that the stock has only been kept afloat by the Reddit Apemind and /r/wallstreetbets long past the squeeze has been squoze.

    Blaming woke DEI is just a smokescreen and an excuse. Those stores were failing. All of Gamestop is failing, and Cohen’s looking to blame anyone but himself.

      Yeah, I had been holding on to one last one after selling the rest (I made a whopping $13 yaaaaaaaaay)

      Selling that shit the moment I can get to my laptop.

    Haven’t stepped foot in one of these stores since I realized I was being scammed with console purchases constantly.
