That subreddit was simultaneously the funniest and creepiest subreddit I’ve ever visited. It’s hilarious how sure they are that they will all be billionaires but I always got the creeps when thinking about how I was reading the comments from a bunch of people just throwing their life savings down the toilet.

I bought a few thousand dollars because I could and I’m just sitting on it because I’m very curious what’s going to happen. I really believe the float has been locked up for a while and there’s some serious shenanigans going on. I either will strike it rich or at some point throw in the towel and write off the losses on my taxes. But I look back at when everyone wrote off Bitcoin and look at it now.

The move to digital sales is killing their business model.

They can’t buy and re-sell used digital games.

Pre-orders on digital content can be done through the respective app stores.

Gamepass renders the buy, sell, re-buy consumer behavior irrelevant.

I mean, all that was intentional…

But this was a dying business years ago, it was propped up by a few people who made a shit ton of money and a whole bunch of idiots they convinced to hold the bag.

GameStop was never going to last long, it was just delayed

At the very least, two bag holders have read your comment.

It should have ended years ago, it’s a crap company who were annoying to do business with, it became a meme and got to live a few extra years. But I say good riddance

It could if they were willing to modify their business model. They could have leaned into the game merchandise more but relying on used game sales was never going to be sustainable.

They should merge with RadioShack and that company that rented DVD’s out of ATM’s in front of gas stations.

I thought it said “understandable,” and I was like, “yeah.”
