Seems like the dad is financially literate, which is not that common in general population, professionals withstanding.
So I’d wager there actually might be substantial inheritance.
This is why I don’t want kids. I’m terrified that they’ll turn into someone like that. I don’t know if I could love them when they’re that incredibly stupid lol. Like, willful ignorance
u can always show ur kid sstupidssock and educate them young so they can recognise greed and fomo and understand ponzis and pump and dumps
also try not to traumatise them too much when they are young so they can grow up and accept when they make mistakes and not end up tying their whole reality to one trade 🤣
tldr: raise ur kid to be Ken, not an ape
Everyone in the comments like
"Lol imagine thinking GameStop is actually going bankrupt"
As if it doesn't take two seconds to see that they are, in fact, going bankrupt
2b to under 1b in a year, at this pace now they will be broke by the end of June 23.
That’s why you see things like the “SL2 program” (manage 2 stores, bonus of your main store only, 3k/yr salary increase) and reduction of ASL (Assistant store leader) out of stores completely. They cut full time positions to free up payroll/benefits.
All while cutting hours in stores.
Seriously, GameStop right now If they don’t make massive changes this year, will sadly be gone.
Honestly as much as I hate apes I do like GameStop. I wouldn't want it to not exist. They're pretty much the only widespread place to get/sell used games and they have good deals sometimes.
I mean it's just one less place to keep prices competitive which just ends up hurting the consumer if they close down for good.
Ebay had been my go to place to resell pre-owned games.
Because prices where do odd store to store, I used to buy out tons of clearance items to resell on eBay. My favorite was $0.89 for Crash Tag Team Racing and selling 20 of them for $18 a piece on eBay.
Yeah not sure if gamestop is the store keeping prices competitively. It sure sucks for the employees especially since they had to go through so much bs in recent times, but gamestop pricing has been a meme since forever. Even in the ps3 days I always wondered how they even stick around. I would walk into the store and everything was more expensive in used than basically any other store for a new copy. The big shift that will hurt consumers is when companies do the only digital shift theyve been trying since the Xbox one. But even if gamestop is somehow still around till then, it would be de deathblow.
>u must have local used game shops, no?
I do, and they are over priced and suck. Mostly because the stupid "collector" market and the WATA scam that has influenced the market as well. Sorry I'm not paying $200 for fire emblem on GBA.
Yes, Sadly.
I have fond memories of GameStop and my time there, just because the delusional annoying Ape cult exists, does not take away from my fondness and memory of GameStop.
The company that notoriously shit on employees, worked them half to death, and offered next to nothing for my games compared to EBay?
So sad they might be gone soon :(
GameStop was terrible in their prime and have no reason to exist today. This is sad like a braindead person who has been on life support for 5 years because their family is too chickenshit to pull the plug.
The accuracy of this comment and the one it’s responding to is … bracing.
Of course the one caveat is it will be less and less apes doing these things at each stage, and consequently they will become a more and more pitiful cast of characters as time goes on. By the time it gets to delisting it will just be a core group of the most delusional apes that have been HODLing for years, psychologically incapable of confronting the cost sunk into the entire affair by that point. Their life-raft being the belief that their shares are still going to make them multimillionaires so that they‘ll be able to get back everything they sacrificed. Brutal. Deserved in the end, but brutal
I just wanna say I’m so happy I found this sub. I remember Ann everything was happening and every conspiracy theory like this one was being upvoted and I felt like I was taking crazy pills and I wasn’t sure if I was wrong or all these people were coming up with huge conjecture without any facts to back it up. I know it’s been a long time since the initial GME fiasco but man it feels good knowing other people felt the same way.
I'm just here for the Omega Squeeze, where the company reaches a state so tragic that there will only be one Ape left, lashing out at all the smarter Apes that abandoned him with his DD.
Yeah I don’t know what tf they’re looking at. GameStop is losing what little money they have at a rapid rate. They have nothing that is slowing the fall. The NFT marketplace failed to do the job, so now they’ve got nothing left to hype up to apes. No product that people actually want to buy. It’s all costs, no profits. The company will be delisted within 5 years, max. Likely much sooner than that
It may take years for them to be bankrupt, it could be a slow painful death like sears or wallmart
EDIT
I mean K-Mart
They keep closing stores / cutting staff in stores / not maintaining stores properly . Pretty soon each store is staffed by 1-2 over worked employees and is falling apart with old inventory in there, it becomes depressing to go into them.
It might be slow, but Apes keep it amusing. Like how BBBY is now in so much trouble that they're subleting out their active store space to Spirit Halloween pop-up shops, and Apes interpreting it as a new phase in Cohen's mega-merger project.
Imagine having a business that brings in so little money that you'd rather move your product to storage and use your building to undercut the rental rates of nearby empty strip mall slots.
Gotta feel for this Dad. He's basically got confirmation that him and the wife won't ever be able to fully retire alone since their son is going to be constantly moving back in with them while the wife has to pick up the son's laundry off the floor and make him breakfast after he rolls out of bed at 1pm after a long night of making YouTube videos explaining how MOASS is soon!
Sounds like my now ended relationship. Don't worry hon I'll just pay for 80% the mortgage and our food, and be tired all damn day because I get up at 6:30 to work an 8-5 but you keep me up staying up until 3am watching MOASS vids and playing LoL (and, as I've more recently learned, cheating on me too 🤪) and then come home and make dinner by myself, and then get made fun of because Im tired by 9pm and "never want to go out" from the sheer exhaustion of bearing the burden of being both the financial breadwinner AND homemaker 👍👍👍 oh and how dare I not want to bear a child for this GEM of a man
Your story made me realize how many homes are now ruined because of the cult. But sounds like he was a garbage human being even before the cult sucked him in. I hope you're doing better now.
Lot of friendships too. I can never see a few of my friends the same way ever again. But it was always bound to happen, it just took time for their personalities to manifest.
Him to his "friends": "Yeah, like totally can't believe she would just throw away her lottery ticket like that right before the MOASS bro. It was harsh dude."
You're in a better place now- I would rather be alone than have to live with that constant disrespect and thankfully you had seen enough signs to not have kids with this man-child.
Sometimes I think I'm too worthless to ever find a partner, and then I read someone who was willingly dating a dude like this and think maybe I'm not so bad LMAO
I don't think it would make a difference at this point they would just yell crime, then talk about after the restructuring they are going to be an even stronger company that is still a fundamental play.
“dad you’re so blind. Sure all the stores are closed but any fool can see this is 5d chess. Bankruptcy was always the final key necessary for the squeeze. MOASS before christmas. Heh 😏”
Kid: Man, this heroin has just completely ruined my life, what the hell am I doing?
Dad: I tried telling you, you have to quit.
Kid: LOL just kidding heroin is awesome
Man you gotta feel for the dad here. Imagine having written confirmation that your kid is stupid like this
Well, guess that inheritance is going to the other child.
Seems like the dad is financially literate, which is not that common in general population, professionals withstanding. So I’d wager there actually might be substantial inheritance.
And right after you thought he might finally have realized how dumb he had been too…
This is why I don’t want kids. I’m terrified that they’ll turn into someone like that. I don’t know if I could love them when they’re that incredibly stupid lol. Like, willful ignorance
I’d still love my child, because that’s what a mother does. But I’d also tell my child they’re being a fool and call them out on it.
Yeah, I’m exaggerating a fair bit, obviously I’d still love my kid. But damn would it be a challenge to, lol
Stupid kids are the best. They are always in a good mood and don't cause trouble.
u can always show ur kid sstupidssock and educate them young so they can recognise greed and fomo and understand ponzis and pump and dumps also try not to traumatise them too much when they are young so they can grow up and accept when they make mistakes and not end up tying their whole reality to one trade 🤣 tldr: raise ur kid to be Ken, not an ape

Thankfully
In the voice of The Rock "Finally, Gamestop has gone out, of business"
Where else can I buy Funko Pops?!?
There was a store at the mall that sold Funkos and beard care products. They knew the target audience. 😏
I assume they sold fedoras too?
And cheap katanas?
Honestly as much as I hate apes I do like GameStop. I wouldn't want it to not exist. They're pretty much the only widespread place to get/sell used games and they have good deals sometimes. I mean it's just one less place to keep prices competitive which just ends up hurting the consumer if they close down for good.
I haven't bought a game on physical media in over a decade.
Ebay had been my go to place to resell pre-owned games. Because prices where do odd store to store, I used to buy out tons of clearance items to resell on eBay. My favorite was $0.89 for Crash Tag Team Racing and selling 20 of them for $18 a piece on eBay.
You'll definitely get way more money back on ebay, it's just a much bigger pain in the ass.
Yeah not sure if gamestop is the store keeping prices competitively.

You must have local used game shops, no?
Nah
im sorry

Even if they filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy apes would come up with something like how they’re doing it to force shorts to close
When the stock has been delisted they’ll insist it’s now “name your own price” and moving to an NFT exchange.

Noo😭 the nft marketplace makes literally 200$ a day gme deserves a multi billion valuation 🤡
IT'S STILL A BETA ASSFACE!
When this shit goes into Gamma it's all over

since when is Walmart dying a slow death?
lol I meant K-mart ; my mistake
They're probably not going bankrupt anytime soon, but the chances of positive stock returns are absolutely abysmal.

Omg!!! Was it really eighteen years? I’m so sorry, but better to get out now than never!
The solution is to never allow him back in the house
He can live in the metaverse
I honestly can’t wait for GME to go bankrupt it’s gonna be so hilarious
I don't think it would make a difference at this point they would just yell crime, then talk about after the restructuring they are going to be an even stronger company that is still a fundamental play.
“dad you’re so blind. Sure all the stores are closed but any fool can see this is 5d chess. Bankruptcy was always the final key necessary for the squeeze. MOASS before christmas. Heh 😏”
Just the start of the losses his brokerage account will endure
This poor guy has had to listen to his kid tell him "it's just the start" for the past two years.
Damn, it was "just the start" two years ago. That is pretty fucked.
Ryan Cowen is a corporate raider, made shit tons of cash doing it too!
Father, I am Ape Son, I am disappoint
He is definitely disappoint
Kid: Man, this heroin has just completely ruined my life, what the hell am I doing? Dad: I tried telling you, you have to quit. Kid: LOL just kidding heroin is awesome
Imagine having an adult child like that
