- GameStop is hoping somebody will buy its Canadian and French operations.
- This amounts to over 500 physical stores across both nations.
- The company’s CEO decried “Liberalism, Socialism, Progressivism, Wokeness and DEI” within his firm while shopping for a buyer.
Yes clearly black people that’s the fault of all your problems and not the fact that you embraced being nothing more than a memestock with no real value.
Weird, every time I went to my local GameStop before it closed it looked like a diversity fair.
oh no, where will people get their funco pops now?
Yeah man, it’s woke bullshit! Not the fact that good games are few and far between now, or that people buy them digitally, or that the PC is growing its market share. It’s DEI!!!
Nothing to do with the fact there’s three Funko pops to every game for sale, and they price their used games pretty much as high as new ones. Not to mention every time I’ve tried to buy a new game there, they then try to sell it to me without the wrapper taking the disc from who knows where.
It’s easy to say “go woke, go broke” until you realize that you don’t make any of your own merchandise so you can’t fix the problem once you finally decide to right the ship
Welp, at least I can claim them as a loss on my taxes this year.
Ryan Cohen is cunt who talks like a valley girl, the fuck would he know about anything.
Mmm. I like your veracity.
That’s odd. It doesn’t show on his feed.
This is why gamers don’t deserve voting rights
I use to think all those satire subreddits were bad jokes about gamers but now I actually do think gamers should be kicked down a pit

Dang it. Why can’t more wealthy people just be chill and not psychopaths. I get that statistically, they are more likely to succeed due to lack of morality. But damn.
It would be cool if somebody nice acquired the businesses.

You’ll never be a billionaire if you’re a nice person.
You’ll always lose money caring for stupid shit like paying fair wages to employees, respecting laws and paying taxes.

I’m thinking it’s more that public companies have a legal obligation to provide increasing value to their shareholders, so stay private, don’t be a dick. Grow at a reasonable pace. Avoid enshitification.

So just to be clear I’m pulling this out if my ass, but I’m gonna go and say they main trick to be rich is to be born rich. The lack of morality is just a side-effect of your parents being capitalist vampires. Being a psychopath in itself doesn’t give you a business edge.

Tons of research says you’re wrong. Psychopaths and other people with mental issues that diminish their ability to have empathy are absolutely more successful in business than their counterparts. Because capitalism is could, cruel, and uncaring about anyone or anything.

I personally know a few kids born into families for the sole purpose of their parents getting more pocket money from the government and they made millionaire by their 30s and are all nice. Stop equating america to rest of the world, thanks.
