> They have fucktons of capital now.

That shit will be back to normal in about a week or so once the short squeeze is over.

>>27068330
They'll probably just fuck it up with meme merchandise again because the company is ran by complete retards. I was actually happy they were going to go out of business but I'm even happier that hedgies are getting fucked.

>>27068751

They got a new CEO. Part of what triggered the initial squeeze

>>27068330
They should dramatically increase their digital space and do local events if the lockdown and social distancing shit ever stop (although it probably won't). Tournaments, game rooms, etc. Of course, this is all providing share price doesn't dip to absolute shit in a week or two.

By buying eth

>>27068330
They should unironically start developing video games

liquidize their stock and walk away.

>>27068330
3d printed cunny

>>27068330
They should at least pay off all of their debts...

companies dont actually get more money from the value of their stock right? Actual investors know this is a complete meme?

Issue a cryptocoin. GameStopCoin.

>>27068330
They should use it to buy a fuck ton of cocaine and bunch of hookers

>>27068606
I doubt it. There's gonna be hordes of people who will hold because they expected 10k a share and are stubborn. I think the new stable price after a month will be somewhere around 100-150.

>>27068330
Closing their doors like the garbage company they are lol

they should make generic brand gaming equipment i would buy that the current mouses and gaming laptops are expensive

>>27068330
They will hire hotter goth girls

>>27068330
Literally who?

Aggressive takeover of Amazon with leveraged equity.

>>27069657
Yeah I’m thinking how they could spin this publicity into a streaming service.
>>27069943
The name alone is officially priceless.

>>27068330
They're going to invest in revolutionary blockchain funkopops for the fourth industrial revolution.

>>27068330
amazon of gaming they better fucking kill steam get the fuck /vg and /v fuckers in here to consult on what they want

>>27070815
This, no one will take the l unless they need a tax write off. Look at rusted camaros, gtos, supras, skylines, etc. Boomers don't sell because they know what they got. People will hold their stock to the death if they are smart. It's not a loss until you sell.

GME stock always goes up to $50-60 after console releases. Add some new leadership with online experience, some free press/publicity. Hopefully they can revamp online shopping and ship some ps5s.

Not financial advice

>>27068330
GS needs to take the capital and do what they should have done years ago and go digital distro to compete with Steam. They could either create their own platform or purchase an existing one. Epic is too expensive for them, but GoG is not.

The could also sell their hardware and other products through the same digital distro platform. Steam is no longer the only guy in town, Epic is already trying to compete. Now with this money GS has a chance to get back into the current and future gaming market.

Video games for cats

>>27068606
Even if it goes right back, they get a percentage of every share sold, so they WILL get some of that money raised.

>They have fucktons of capital now.
You obviously have no idea how the stock market works or what a share of stock even is.

>>27068751
Nah they learned their lesson. Theu'll have an online storefront like GoG but your physical trade ins work as credit.

They'll also have a members only card for crypto purchases where you can stake their token in exchange for in-store credit

>>27068330
they will pay me more than $3 for a used first party game that came out within the last 6 months

>>27074233
imagine being able to digitally trade in games for credit, or digitally trade them to your friends for their games etc.

>>27069060
I would love to see that guys face when he goes in front of the board for his review of performance or whatever its called
Whole board knows that the stock jump had nothing to do with anything he has done
CEO asks for a raise anyway

>>27074271
this is the only logical answer in this entire thread.

>>27068330
no they don't, new fag learn the difference between primary and secondary market

>>27068330

As it turns out, the stock exchange is not the actual, real economy, contrary to what hedgies really want the 401k boomers to believe

>>27068330
they need to adopted chainlink

>>27068330
Steam of the stock market

I want a social hangout, cheeseburgers, fries, gamestop games all fucking day and night. Like Dave and Busters but for kids to have clean fun at. Would help incel kids a lot to have a place to hang out and chill instead of netflix and chill. That's what America culture is lacking right now. Social cohesion. Dating possibilities.

Gamestop to become the new megacorp

>>27075975
This. BRING BACK THE ARCADE. When Genghis Cough is over with everyone will wanna go out and have fun, and there's a lot of nostalgia for playing games together with your friends. So make a new modern arcade with modern games and space for (W)LAN parties so people can bring their own hardware in and play together on that too.

>>27073503
I think google will selloff or close stadia in the next year.

>>27074233
They should start selling pc parts and graphics cards. There's only like 12 microcenters and newegg sucks with shipping.

>>27070815
>10k a share
nice FUD, try a billion a share

>>27068330
Sell stocks from their treasury
>>27068606
You might be right, if Monday wasn't a new year. And the guy behind Chewy wasn't involved.

transform GameStop info femboy hooters, but with arcades. Done, I saved your business.

>>27068606

No they have literally 9 billion in the bank now. You are smoking some good shit friend.

>>27068330

If you spent ten minutes on tik tok, aka the most popular app in the world, you’d realize this isn’t so far fetched

>>27077413
Are you saying because there’s not a market or there will be one? Sorry not familiar with gaming though I am unironically going to a game stop today to gauge

>>27068330
last news I know on revamping their business is turning gamestop into a hang out spot where people can go to play games together. LAN setups etc.
They were also looking to diversify their stores as well. Having stores focus more on one type of business (stores more focused on collectables or on tabletop gaming)

>>27070402
StopCoin sounds better

>>27068330
>They have fucktons of capital now.
You mean if they dump on their investors or what?

It's on them to raise now.
And they are smart, they will do it right I think.

as he should, same way the jump in his stock had nothing to do with you yet you made money anyway

>>27074271

>>27082022
I didn't buy any GME
was too afraid of the IRS and SEC rats
Didn't want them smelling my link

>>27081496
Ok this is based

GameStop should buy EA!

>>27082354
Literal retard
>>27081513
Thank you
>>27081496
This. This will flip me over to gamerdom. Especially if I can fuck with vr.

>>27068330
I think it'd be smart for them to build a platform like steam.
>A virtual Gamestop
>Play with your friends and buy games
>Buy stupid collectable stuff and have it sent directly to your house
Then they could cut down on outdated brick and mortar stores

>>27075127
Scam

>>27083224
The name itself would sell any kind of new steaming vidya product. I think there’s still a brick and mortar market though, as in the video >>27081513 posted, the narrator says “this is your place to play” and mentions old consoles like N64. I’d fuck with that as well as testing VR gear.
15million people on Robin Hood bet on “Game Stop” and every single zoomed just learned about stonks through this single one. Idk, seems too big to disappear.

>>27074346

>they get a percentage of every share sold

How does this work?

>>27084128
there's a ton of people who want to see high refresh rate monitors in action but best buy has no games and they're poor

>>27084747
If GameStop were to start selling PC hardware in store, it would be a good source of income from them. They're a lot more widespread than MicroCenter is, and loads of people are trying to get their hands on PC hardware right now. It also means more highs, since new PC hardware cycles come around every 2 years, as opposed to every 5-7 years for new consoles.

Partner w/ Sunrise Bandai to make Gunpla battles fucking real.

>>27085131
Even a back room with a few prebuilts, monitors, chairs to try and you can order them delivered to your house in a week or so. For some reason I feel Microsoft doesn't want a 3090 next to their Series S and Sony and Nintendo might be mad too, so put it in the back. Then upgrade the fucking boxes on the wall to something more modern - THEN consolidate all old product to boutique locations "GameStop Retro" and treat NES, GBA, PS2 stuff like valuable product - if it's in good shape. Make it feel like a personal experience so the fragile nerds in their 40s now can feel coddled like they need to be.

3 models - GameStop Normal+, GameStop PC, GameStop Retro
