GameStop is terrible for the industry. GameStop is chock full of terrible business practices. Fuck GameStop.
He's only saying this about disc drives because six months ago he was saying "You'll be buying all your games as NFTs from GameStop!" (notice he didn't give one fuck about physical media six months ago?) and then when that went tits up and they closed their cryptocoin and NFT wallets, they need another way to get people to keep buying stocks. They've got those Gamestonk idiots still in a frenzy and they haven't yet woken up to being taken for a ride since the NFT dream turned bust.
Yeah, I was interested to see what became of Gamestop after all the retail shenanigans, it was a pretty neat thing to see Wallstreet take a giant shit in their own pants in broad daylight.
But once Gamestop leadership started talking about NFTs being their big strategy to capitalize on becoming debt free etc. I knew it was going nowhere.
What cryptocoin?
They were selling the idea to Superstonk investment idiots that the "future" of game sales was in NFTs where you would "really own your copy of the game." Which... to anyone who knows how NFTs really work is such a sick fucking joke as to pawn that idea off on to consumers.
Nvm I misread your initial comment as saying they were shutting down their cryptocoin (as in a coin they launched themselves). Seems they’re shutting down the wallet bc it’s the most vulnerable to violating the vague regulations currently in place. They’ve still got the marketplace and recently announced a project called PlayR that looks to be a game streaming platform.
I ask again. What cryptocoin?
