I assume most people have seen this by now. But this is very obviously dodgy.
Two obvious reasons:
the game mockups are AI junk and the overall provenance is weird yeah. Maybe just a result of a small team trying to spin up promotion of a niche product but yeah it’s not reassuring that they would make up dumb stuff for that purpose
at long last I can see a 2012 Ford Fusion parked in the E lot at John Glenn Columbus International Airport in Columbus, Ohio

The company announced the move in a brief news release on its website. While the statement did not provide any further explanation of the decision, its CEO appears to have taken issue with the “wokeness” of the two countries.
“Email M&A@gamestop.com if you’re interested in buying GameStop Canada or Micromania France,” Gamestop CEO Ryan Cohen posted to X Tuesday morning. “High taxes, Liberalism, Socialism, Progressivism, Wokeness and DEI included at no additional cost if you buy today!”
Buying GameStop canada alone didn’t seem like a good deal to me but if it includes wokeness, DEI and socialism I think I might have to reconsider. An incredible value if you ask me.
I had no idea Micromania was owned by GameStop! That shows how often I go in there haha
I thought he was insulting France lol
gamestop would be enormously profitable but all the gay Canadians keep messing it up
i’m almost looking forward to the next time i fail at something, just because it’ll be funny to blame wokeness and dei.
There’s a new Cosmo D game coming and the demo is already available!
This guy fucking sucks. Unfortunately he is also from Quebec and founded Chewy.
nooooooo!!
speaking of that sort of thing I just learned that the canadian psycho on shark tank is responsible for destroying edutainment games and thereby helping to make video games the pile of dog shit it is today
Mr. Wonderful??? I knew he seemed too damn perfect to be real….
FUCK YEAH!
Gimme that shit, Cosmo. Bury that pizza in my stomach!
Me or said CEO? I’ll always take a stab at France where possible, but alas this was not one of those times!
The CEO. It made more sense in my head, but I thought he was nicknaming the country as “Micromania France” … I don’t know what that would mean tbh
That makes more sense.
So you know, this is a Micromania store:
It’s just like GameStop inside with the identical business model. Zing was their pop culture brand and merged with shops into a single space.
That looks 100x more appealing than GameStop
It’s not because it’s French.
And I’m back!!!
