Sounds like a CEO who is out of his depth and should be removed.

I actually *do* buy physical copies of console games, and I occasionally buy Gameboy carts. Gamestop is not a monopoly. If they feel the need to directly court incels, I can happily continue to forget they exist.

I buy physical games and it honestly never occurred to me to buy them at Gamestop. Them buying and killing ThinkGeek was only one reason I don’t consider them a game store.

that's not even the real problem either. Barely any games in the stores; mostly filled with toys and merch no one wants; and the employees are forced to coerce you into buying subscriptions and rewards programs.

So the CEO of the company, presumably a conservative based on his comments, is NOT at fault for his company going under? It's...wokeness? I'd argue it's conservatism that broke the company. Conservatives really don't know the meaning of accountability. It's always someone else's fault.

Ryan Cohen is a disgusting piece of garbage who only cares about money. He has all these people holding onto shares and holding and holding. How many shares does he have in the company? Since he did not take a salary, does that affect his ability to sell shares, and if so, by how much?
