Engadget<\/a>: GameStop reportedly trying to purchase eBay, with reports of offer being $56 billion dollars<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m not going to pretend like I have any modicum of care of what\u2019s really going on with this whole story, except that I think it\u2019s really weird that a general small coffer company like GameStop is in any position to acquire a much larger company like eBay, but I think most of the world has seen stranger things and about as improbable takeovers in history.<\/span><\/p>\n

But as the subject of this post says, I think eBay has the chance to do the funniest thing ever, and that\u2019s telling GameStop that their $56B offer, has not met the reserve<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

It would be satisfying to probably everyone remotely following this story, because I feel like every gamer in the history of existence has probably been fucked over or at least been insultingly low-ball offered by GameStop, and it would probably bring great joy to see eBay, much less any large conglomerate, basically tell GameStop something they\u2019ve been telling their customers<\/a> for decades.<\/span><\/p>\n

Seriously though, how the fuck does GameStop have the gall to offer to buy eBay?\u00a0 Their company is valued at like $9-11B, and where the fuck are they getting the extra $45B+ needed for their offer?\u00a0 Store credit??<\/span><\/p>\n

When the day is over, I really don\u2019t give a fuck what happens with this.\u00a0 I don\u2019t shop at GameStop, and my eBay usage is pretty minimal, beyond impulsive niche purposes; however, I have recently learned about the CIB retro game market, and I\u2019ve come across some clean and potentially lucrative games with boxes in my old belongings, and it would suck if a GameStop-ified eBay comes to fruition and manages to fuck up my potential earning.<\/span><\/p>\n

All the more reason why I hope eBay tells GameStop to fuck on outta here with their offer.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
