GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen appears to blame inclusivity for the failure of his brick and mortar gaming outlets.

GameStop is hoping somebody will buy its Canadian and French operations.

This amounts to over 500 physical stores across both nations.

The company’s CEO decried “Liberalism, Socialism, Progressivism, Wokeness and DEI” within his firm while shopping for a buyer.

Dang it. Why can't more wealthy people just be chill and not psychopaths. I get that statistically, they are more likely to succeed due to lack of morality. But damn.

It would be cool if somebody nice acquired the businesses.
- You'll never be a billionaire if you're a nice person.
  
  You'll always lose money caring for stupid shit like paying fair wages to employees, respecting laws and paying taxes.
  
  Counterpoint: Steam
  
  I’m thinking it’s more that public companies have a legal obligation to provide increasing value to their shareholders, so stay private, don’t be a dick. Grow at a reasonable pace. Avoid enshitification.
- So just to be clear I'm pulling this out if my ass, but I'm gonna go and say the main trick to be rich is to be born rich. The lack of morality is just a side-effect of your parents being capitalist vampires. Being a psychopath in itself doesn't give you a business edge.
  
  I personally know a few kids born into families for the sole purpose of their parents getting more pocket money from the government and they made millionaire by their 30s and are all nice. Stop equating america to rest of the world, thanks.
Weird, every time I went to my local GameStop before it closed it looked like a diversity fair.
Yes clearly black people that's the fault of all your problems and not the fact that you embraced being nothing more than a memestock with no real value.
Yeah man, it’s woke bullshit! Not the fact that good games are few and far between now, or that people buy them digitally, or that the PC is growing its market share. It’s DEI!!!
oh no, where will people get their funco pops now?
Can somebody short the stock now?
Welp, at least I can claim them as a loss on my taxes this year.
~~That's odd. It doesn't show on his feed. The link shows it, but it's not on his feed at all.~~

Edit: Hes trolling lmfao

Maybe went a bit too far, but he's definitely trolling.
- This is why gamers don't deserve voting rights
  
  I use to think all those satire subreddits were bad jokes about gamers but now I actually do think gamers should be kicked down a pit
