GameStop announces plans to sell off French and Canadian outlets, while its CEO yells about 'Wokeness and DEI' in bizarre, self-defeating promotion

At the rate these chains are telling me to fuck off with my business and ignore them I'm gonna end up with nothing but farmer markets and crafts shows to shop at...wrote 22 days ago last edited byHonestly, is that a bad thing though?

Anyone who didn't sell after the idiocy of the NFT market is a fuckin bagholder through and through. An NFT market was stupid to begin with, because it's trying to use endless amounts of CPU cycles to enforce an "ownership" system that is genuinely unneeded and **only serves to benefit Capital and Capitalists.** Hell yeah let's burn down the planet for fuckin skins in video games! /s Later, they would shut down the same market, after barely over a year and a half. This was and is a company with no concrete plans for the future that was spinning its wheels since its core business was failing and continues to fail. Diamond hands? More like Sunk Cost Hands.wrote 22 days ago last edited by>Hell yeah let's burn down the planet for fuckin skins in video games! /s It's an apt comparison but NFTs are sooo much worse than skins. At least there's an opportunity to "enjoy" skins as well as show them off during an activity you're doing anyway. With an NFT it's just "look at this picture I own!" and nothing else

And somehow, Costco? Weird twist.wrote 22 days ago last edited byIt's not even a weird twist it's just people who understand how capitalism actually functions and realize that investing in their workers means their workers have more disposable time and income to spend buying shit at Costco. It's wild to me that we've gone from advocating for leftism to "if we are gonna do capitalism shouldn't we at least do it in a way that won't break literally everything?" Costco is simply a traditional capitalist business that doesn't want to see the economy completely implode for everyone but the rich.

An NFT is a representation of ownership on the block chain ledger. It can represent ANYTHING, houses have been sold as NFTs as well as many other things. I'm curious about the claims of the guy above you as well, I certainly don't know for sure, but I don't see why it should take incredible amounts of energy to maintain block chain, and it sounds like that user is conflating crypto mining with NFTs. Note: I am not promoting either, please don't buy crypto or pointless NFT images!

The business model that I have to go drive and interact with someone and hope the game is in stock? Who would have thought?

I thought an NFT was just a link to an image and didn’t actually contain the image itself?wrote 22 days ago last edited byYes. The data for the image isn't hosted in the block chain of the NFT. The NFT is basically an unfalsifiable digital signature of authenticity.

Are redditors still diamond hands on gme?wrote 22 days ago last edited byFrankly I think every stock-oriented subreddit is a controlled operation meant to pull value from the subscribers only. I doubt almost any thread on those subs are people authentically sharing their perspectives.

The person who got me and my friends into it doesn't talk to my group anymore and I think it's out of shame. I, in turn, feel shame not only for my part in participation in the market, but for convincing others to buy shares as well. Fucking thing sucks, I want my money back Ryan, you cock.
