Reading the headline confused me because the only SOCOM I thought of is the government agency, which I know from SOCOM US Navy Seals on the PS2.

So it was a wild ride of thinking Gamestop had its own team of special agents for some reason.

What the fuck did you just say about me you little poor? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in business school and have over 300 confirmed moon goings. Btw, this is the top result when you search for the Navy Seal copypasta, lmao.

Its still probably the best option for buying physical games on release day without delays or hassle that comes along with bigger stores.

So if you are certain you are going to buy it and don't live in some urban sprawl where Amazon's "guaranteed delivery" actually holds, it has value.

The thing is, GME absolutely deserved to be low, GameStop deserves to go bankrupt. But on its own, not from finance faggots meddling with stocks. Catching and exploiting that shorting shit only bought them time by raising their value.

Has been going under for a while, this is typical 'do whatever we can to save us from sinking' bullshit you see from companies that tend to fail.

A company like this owns nothing. If they stop making a profit, they are worth nothing but their name. And I mean the name is GameStop, so it's probably good for $15k from China. Getting rid of employee obligations is getting rid of one of the few ongoing obligations they are not able to just stop paying overnight. It seems like pre-bankruptcy behavior rather than an attempt to correct anything. This is compatible with them swirling the toilet for a while now.

They’ll go the bed bath and beyond route and name an online store after it

I could imagine Best Buy buying the IP/trademarks/etc and doing that, rebranding their video game department.

I dunno if you can see if they are making any money, but my guess is if they stop they are gone in a week. There seems to be no reason to keep paying rent and employees to only lose money.

If this tips them into profitability that would make sense. As long as you're making something, you run it.
