Dumb Money, Remember when redditors defeated Hedge fund managers?

Dumb Money, Remember when redditors defeated Hedge fund managers?

, , , , , , , , , , , , 17

Dumb Money is the true to life story about the time when Redditors  made Hedge Fund Billionaires cry. In the lead role of the upcoming film “Dumb Money,” we have Paul Dano, joined by a talented ensemble cast featuring Seth Rogen, Shailene Woodley, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Ramos, Nick Offerman, America Ferrera, Vincent D’Onofrio, and Pete Davidson. Many  business owners fear the hedge funders because they can kill your business in an instant. People perceive hedge fund managers as predators due to their frequent targeting and harming of struggling companies.. They engage in risky investment practices that can negatively impact smaller investors. They use aggressive tactics like short-selling to lower the value of their prey. Their reward systems prioritize short-term profits over long-term stability, and they operate in a secretive and unregulated manner, making it easier for them to manipulate the market. The immense wealth of some hedge fund managers has also raised concerns about inequality and concentrated power. In 2021, Gamespot struggled during the Pandemic. People prefers buying videogames online

Edge Of Eternity Physical Will Be A Gamestop Exclusive

Edge Of Eternity Physical Will Be A Gamestop Exclusive

Game development team Midgar Studio was inspired by Final Fantasy (their devotion is in their very name) to create a world-spanning JRPG for modern systems. Titled Edge of Eternity, the game had an amazingly successful Kickstarter campaign and a steady Early Access launch on Steam in 2018. They’ve been building up Edge of Eternity from that point, and the full version at last hit PC, Mac and Linux on June 8. But didn’t they promise a console version too? Hold your horses, Midgar says — it’s on the way. Playstation 4, Playstation 5, XBox One and XBox Series versions of Edge of Eternity should be ready this fall. XBox owners will be able to play it on Game Pass, and if you’re a PS5 owner (lucky dog) you’ll have the chance to buy a physical copy…if you don’t mind going to Gamestop. Yup…somehow the embattled, customer-hustling, meme-attracting, thoroughly corrupt Gamestop has locked an exclusive on copies of Edge of Eternity. The copies will be cheap at just $40, and that

powered by Sounder   Scrub to 44:02 to go directly to the review. Hey there, true believers!  Welcome to another episode of The Couch Command. In this episode, me and a team of heroes venture into what we THINK is the DC Cinematic Universe, but as our discussion will uncover… it is not. What we enter with this movie is the Elseworlds intepretation of the DC Universe… THE SNYDERVERSE.  In the podcast we talk about how expectations of how everyone THOUGHT this would be the Warner Bros. answer to the MCU, but instead were not prepared for what is an alternate dimension tale through the specific artful lens…. of Zack Snyder.

Gamestonk ! Hedge Funders have undervalued Gamestop stocks ever since it struggled from the Pandemic. Michael Burry and a certain subreddit didn’t. People love David vs. Goliath stories. No wonder the hottest news right now is Gamestonk. It is the feud between the subreddit r/Wallstreetbets and Hedge fund managers. Melvin Capital is the Hedge Fund manager in question. Who would have thought that a community online will make a billionaire cry. Gamestonk  is like a real life soap opera with the underdog prevailing.   Melvin Capital see Gamestop as dead in arrival in the next few years. I can understand their sentiment because many people now buy their games digitally. Then there is the prediction that Cloud gaming services like Google Stadia will kill off consoles. The Pandemic also made it harder for Gamestop to recover. So that makes Melvin Capital aggressively shortchange the struggling  Brick and Mortar store?  They think they can bully this struggling franchise to death. If their shortchanging is successful, they will make lots of cash.

GameStop Isn’t Dead Yet, But It’s Getting There

GameStop Isn’t Dead Yet, But It’s Getting There

Trade in a $60 new game, get $10 credit, get a $55 used game….sound like a value? To an increasing number of consumers, the answer is “no.” GameStop, the gamer pawn shop corporation millions love to hate, was experiencing sagging sales before the pandemic, and the events of 2020 have just made it worse. GameStop has announced the impending closure of between 400 to 450 stores worldwide. That might sound serious, but they currently have 5100 stores active all over the world. It’ll take a lot more to do them in, but they’re working on making that happen. The execs are aware enough of the impending digital future to make a stab at safeguarding themselves, but that effort has amounted to stocking less games (at a store with “game” in its name) and more Funko Pops and other collectibles. The store’s one big selling point was the fact that they stocked the more obscure and niche titles that your average Targets and Wal-Marts did not. Now that advantage is gone.

Reggie Fils-Aime Joins Gamestop’s Board Of Directors

Reggie Fils-Aime Joins Gamestop’s Board Of Directors

, , 0

Here is something we never thought we’d be reading today, let alone typing into a WordPress document, but it’s real: former president of Nintendo of America, Reggie Fils-Aime, has joined the board of directors at Gamestop. Yes, that Gamestop. It may be the first smart decision Gamestop has made in decades. The whole operation is in a dire pickle, facing not only obsolescence but the ire of a gamer userbase that’s tired of being jerked around and shaken upside-down for quarters and dimes. Reggie has been simmering in the gamer culture for a long time and will recognize a bad decision when he sees it. Hopefully. Reggie will join the board on April 20; the same announcement also revealed two additional new members to Gamestop’s board, Bill Simon (who has held high positions at Walmart, Cadbury Schweppes, PepsiCo, and Nabisco) and James Symancyk (who has had a hand in PetSmart, Academy Sports & Outdoors, and Sam’s Club). Those two guys will join the board immediately. “We are pleased to welcome

GameChanger Kiosks Seek To Replace The Neighborhood Gamestop

GameChanger Kiosks Seek To Replace The Neighborhood Gamestop

Gamestop is so grimy, so corrupt, and so bad at basic customer service, they almost don’t need a rival to be taken down. They’re kicking their own behinds quite well, even with approaching obsolescence gnawing at their heels. But competition is on the horizon anyway, with the announcement of GameChanger — a video game kiosk that accepts used discs as currency. Yes, it’s true: according to the company, “GameChanger kiosks use a patented method to authenticate used video games for both content and playability while offering customers immediate payment via e-gift cards. It all takes just seconds.” This takes away the one advantage Gamestop could crow about, and if GameChanger ends up giving gamers a better value, this could be the end. GameChanger had a test launch in several supermarkets and malls last year, and it appears to have gone well, so they’re expanding in 2020. Fourteen new states will be getting GameChanger kiosks. Their only real competition in this exact field would have been RedBox, if those guys hadn’t

Black Friday 2019: Gamestop’s Offerings (Updated)

Black Friday 2019: Gamestop’s Offerings (Updated)

, , , 0

A few days ago we reported on Gamestop’s original Black Friday circular. They have now come out with a more up-to-date flyer that has what the original didn’t — specifics on what will be on sale during the day itself. They’re cutting it mightily close compared to their competitors, but as we repeatedly snarked last time, maybe they’re just accepting their fate. As we said earlier, they’ll have the expected 1TB Playstation 4 with the three included games for $199, and the $149 XBox One S with its own three titles (every store has both these deals). However, Gamestop is the only outlet that is advertising a sale on the PS4 Pro; It’s $299 there, while it’s $399 everywhere else. They also have an exclusive on a $349 XBox One X that comes with the awful NBA 2K20. When it comes to Switch, Gamestop is also the only outlet doing something even slightly different: it’s the same Mario Kart 8 bundle from last year, BUT you also get a $25

Who knows how many Thanksgivings Gamestop is going to stick around for, but they’re here for this one…kind of. By that we mean their flyer, released today, is shorter than the circulars of its competitors, offers less, and covers a longer stretch of time than just Thanksgiving weekend (November 24 through December 2). Is Gamestop even participating in Black Friday specifically? Maybe they’re just like “screw it, we’re dead in the water anyway.” If you bother to go, here’s what you’ll find: the 1TB Playstation 4 with the three included games (every store has this) for $199, and the $149 XBox One S with its own three titles (every store has this too). However, Gamestop is the only outlet that is advertising a sale on the PS4 Pro; It’s $299 there, while it’s $399 everywhere else. They also have an exclusive on a $349 XBox One X that comes with the awful NBA 2K20. In terms of games, Gamestop is offering the entire Playstation Hits line for just $10 individually;

Gamestop actually waited until the weekend before Black Friday itself to reveal what games they’re discounting and what the prices are. It’s late notice, but it arrived at least. Here’s what you can get from them. In terms of consoles, GameStop has the upper hand because they can offer used units at a discount. So there are more choices here than at, say, Target. GameStop is also the only place left to buy a Wii U, and this will probably be the last time you see one under $100 — there are less of these around than any other Nintendo console, Nintendo doesn’t make them anymore, and they’ll only get rarer in the years ahead. PS4 1TB Spider-Man console bundle for $199.99 PlayStation VR Creed: Rise to Glory and Superhot bundle for $249.99 PlayStation VR Astro Bot Rescue Mission and Moss bundle for $199.99 Nintendo Switch Mario Kart 8 bundle for $299.99 Xbox One S 1TB Minecraft Creator bundle for $199.99 Xbox One X 1TB Robot White Special Edition Fallout

GameStop To Begin Selling Comic Books

GameStop To Begin Selling Comic Books

, , , , 0

Experts have been predicting the inevitable demise of GameStop for over a decade now, but they’ve managed to survive and keep most of their strip-mall locations afloat despite the ever-increasing number of digital-only video games. One recent strategy they’ve employed is to diversify their inventory with geek-friendly collectibles and figures. Now, for the first time ever, they’re experimenting with stocking comic books. GameStop has begun selling comics in 40 of its 7,200 nationwide locations, with plans to expand if sales improve. “Comics are often a part of our promotional entertainment industry environment, including video games – we can learn from this tribal knowledge,” the company said in a released statement. “The comics are mostly from Marvel and DC with a focus on key series and titles.” Just Marvel and DC? So much for Goldie Vance. Or maybe she has a shot. “We really, truly have gone after Image and Oni and Boom, as well,” director of consumer products Clint Walker told iO9. “Those are some of the indies we’ll be

Black Friday: Gamestop’s Sales And Offerings

Gamestop was the last major retail outlet to release their flyer and reveal their Black Friday prices. This was probably because the last-minute cancellation of their PowerPass program required a complete revision and reprint of the flyer. But they made it before the deadline, and better late than never. As it is everywhere else, the 1 TB Playstation 4 is $199. We now know this discount was made on Sony’s end and affects all stores nationwide no matter what brand hangs above their door. In fact, the discount is in effect right now, so you could beat the crowds if you wanted to. We’ll wait. But Gamestop is also discounting the Playstation 4 Pro — and they’re the only retail outlet to do so this year. You can get the 1 TB Pro for $349.99, a savings of $50 from MSRP. Gamestop will also sell the XBox One S for $189, and controllers for both for $40, but so will everyone else. As far as games are concerned, there are
