Forget about the Trojan GameStop, ... they are, as you say, Confirmed Roadkill

I've seen surprisingly few people point out the obvious problems with Gamestop. As internet speeds increase, particularly with the ps5 being download only (I think?) isn't it a rather bloody obvious short, that if the market moves digital, Gamestop will become another kodak/VHS company? ..... low_resolution_foxxes

The eventual fate of GameStop in this epic shorting saga is of no lasting significance or of great interest to market players/investors/daytraders/whales/sharks/minnows/pirahnas ... call them whatever you will ...... for they are/were simply a very convenient and timely conduit, [or not so, if one suffered massive unexpectedly devastating losses in a recklessly speculative bet against competition and opposition realising both your fundamental greedy weakness and vulnerable position taken,] allowing market access to another unsuspecting high value target with more money than sense to extract for profit and fun.

You know, nothing really new ..... akin to business as usual and just like a good ole brokers day in the hood rather than confined and constrained in a high rise of a Wall Street office block .... although that might be a little different and something new to get used to if nothing fundamentally changes in the sector.
