GameStop will eBay kaufen. Die irre Geschichte dahinter

GameStop was practically dead: physical games were dying, stores were closing, Game Informer was being shut down, and its business model was lying in the dust among Funko Pops. Then came WallStreetBets, Roaring Kitty, Diamond Hands, and the short squeeze against hedge funds like Melvin Capital—and suddenly GameStop was sitting on billions of dollars in Ape money. Years later, Ryan Cohen wants to use it to buy eBay. For $55.5 billion. With a financing plan consisting of cash, bank loans, and new shares that GameStop isn't even allowed to issue. There's more to this than just meme madness: a CEO with a billion-dollar incentive, trading cards, TCGPlayer, empire building, and the attempt to build a new retail empire from a dying gaming chain.

At Hit or Shit, you'll find German-language gaming video essays, analyses, and documentaries every week about everything that's really happening in the gaming world. We cover current games and video games, but above all, we delve into the bigger questions behind them: Why do some AAA games fail? Why do indie games suddenly explode in popularity? Why do modern games often feel the same? Why do remakes, Steam hype, live-service games, MMOs, esports, hardware trends, and gaming controversies work the way they do? We examine the gaming industry, game design, monetization, publisher decisions, creator culture, reviews, technology, psychology, internet culture, and the mechanics behind hype, success, and failure. In short: Gaming is the starting point—but the real question is almost always bigger. If you have a topic you'd like us to explore in more detail, leave a comment.
