GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen got banned from eBay after listing personal items to fund his $56 billion bid to acquire the platform in a viral stunt gone wrong.
Imagine if I offered Dua Lipa 500 quid to have sex. She doesn’t need the money, she’s doing fine in the bedroom, and I don’t have that much money to spend. We can’t try to sweeten the deal by saying I’m a good lay. Even if we’re not being self-deprecating, we both know I’d be getting the better end of the deal here. She would be insulted I even asked.
That’s what’s going on. eBay is doing perfectly fine without a physical storefront, and GameStop isn’t a catch. GameStop made an unsolicited offer, and doesn’t have enough to actually pay it. This is an insult of an offer.
