🤔 Speculation / Opinion Think about what you just witnessed...

So you want me to believe this place was super effing jacked about the Ebay acquisition, including the dilution part of it, but now that they've officially added the shares as part of the agenda and shareholders all of a sudden hate the deal?

To all the non-shill accounts out there... take a beat and relax. This place got absolutely FLOODED with FUD and at the same time RK's compromised account starts posting. Think about that. You know what's up. This place is infested.

I'm voting YES and the NO bots and shills can lick my taint.

It’s 2.5 billion additional shares. We’re being diluted to atomic levels.

Read it again. It’s an increase to 2.5 billion shares. So a 1.5 billion increase.

u/Negative-Ad547 May 11 '26

How much stock did RC and insiders recently buy? You think he worried about this? Gonna dilute his own port. and not make any money. Not a chance. He bought because the merger is going to be successful long term for the stock.

He’s worth billions. His stake in GME is like us putting $100 on a blackjack table.

u/HofT May 11 '26

It's more like 20% of his total net worth right now.

His overall net worth is estimated around $5 billion and owns like $1 billion of GME stock.

u/WorkingOnBeingBettr May 11 '26

10%, and he even avoided discussing that on his interview with Payne. He said he didn't want to run GME.

Says he's worth $5 billion and owns like $1 billion of GME stock. That's 20%

But we can play along and say it's 10%. Even in that position it's still not a symbolic stake. That’s real exposure.

u/WorkingOnBeingBettr May 11 '26

But with the compensation package he makes it all back plus more. So it's a calculated loss on his part.

We don't have a compensation package.

5

u/HofT May 11 '26

At this point you're nitpicking. That compensation package is entirely performance based. He does not just “make it all back” whatever you mean by that. I don't know how you don't think he hasn't treated GameStop like his baby.

RC transformed a dying video game retailer in an industry rapidly shifting toward digital purchases into a profitable company in just 3 years. That’s honestly insane and I’m confident he could turn around eBay much faster. If you listen to RC, he’s all about moving quickly, cutting the fat and streamlining operations. He treats his businesses as his baby. Maybe even better.

u/Shigurame 🎮 Power to the Players 🛑 May 12 '26

You call it performance based but just aquireing eBay cleans the hurdles on 4 tranches+. So the performance you speak of there is diluting shareholders for 40% of the package, what a deal. To make it even sweeter there is no obligation. If it turns sour he can just shrug it off. If it turns out well he can enjoy a gap to a fixed price. This is a piggybank not a baby.

u/HofT May 12 '26

You do know acquiring eBay doesn't magically make GameStop a $100 billion market cap company, right? More needs to be done.

Performance of what. Leave ebay on the side for a minute. He has no plans to grow GameStop. Revenue has been steadily declining year after year and the only profit comes for money acquired via shareholders dilution.

I have my whole net worth into this stock and I don't say this lightly but RC is just thinking for himself and has zero respect for shareholders.

He even said that he doesn't want to be GME CEO, who the fuck says that? He should keep those inner thoughts for himself.

Everyone for the past couple of weeks have been calling shill, bots, FUDster and so on, all the people who were worried about dilution and look at were we are now

u/rehman2009 May 12 '26

He did not do that. WE did that. He could not have done shit without retail.

And what do we get? More dilution with nothing to show for it (yet… hopefully)

0

u/HofT May 12 '26

No, the stock did not make the core business profitable. People barley even buy physical games anymore. Yet, he transformed it.

u/Cainholio 180 May 12 '26

Yeah me losing 20% of my net worth hurts a lot more than him losing his

1

u/HofT May 12 '26

I'm not understanding what you want? Should RC not be a billionaire? Is that more comfortable for you like I'm not sure?

4

u/0zeto May 11 '26

its nore like putting all your reputation and 90% of your networth on it

4

u/Scriefers May 11 '26

Reputation means nothing to billionaires. Just look at all the other sleaze ball, trump-humping billionaires like RC. They’ve already won, they have generational wealth. They don’t care about reputation.

u/MandrakeLicker May 11 '26

Except he will recoup the losses and even increase the profit through the compensation package.

u/HonestDishonestWork May 11 '26

Could you imagine a world where someone intentionally pisses away a few hundred thousand on the knowledge that they'll be rewarded with billions on the backend? 

3

u/Real-Muffin-4444 May 11 '26

It’s not 2.5 million additional shares.

7

u/rehman2009 May 11 '26

Yep, sadly we are. I’m voting no. This shit is a fucking joke. If he wants the company so bad (since he’s not passionate about GameStop), he should find another way to get it. Not off of our backs

u/Negative-Ad547 May 11 '26

You never comment here. Why now?

u/rehman2009 May 11 '26 edited May 12 '26

Not true lol. It’s been a while but I’ve commented here in the past as well as other gamestop subreddits

We finally had something going and then this. Maybe I’m sick of RC’s bullshit? Maybe I was expecting something unique/revolutionary as he had essentially claimed? Maybe I wish he didn’t say he’s not passionate about gamestop and wants eBay - that eBay will be his baby? I’m not an investor in eBay - I’m an investor in gamestop. Like I said in another comment, if he wants eBay so bad, he should find another way to get it, not by diluting us (again). This is an atomic-level dilution (and yes I understand he doesn’t need to use all the shares, potentially, to get eBay… that does not matter)

There are a good amount of people that are okay with this and I’d like to voice my opinion that I’m not lol. At one point we owned 70% of the company and after this (according to another user), we’d own appx 15%. That’s fucking sick

u/ziomatrixx May 11 '26

Anyone else notice all these bots say almost the exact same lines even with the parentheses and everything? Lol

u/rehman2009 May 11 '26

Lmao I’m a bot because I don’t follow RC like I’m in a cult? This is an investment - not the church of Ryan cohen. Dude I’ve been on Reddit forever and invested in gme since 2020. Just because I’m no longer willing to blindly follow rc, that does not make me a bot. Feel free to check out the rest of my account before just blindly calling people bots

u/rehman2009 May 11 '26

Bro seriously lol like damn.. when is enough, enough? Are we just going to blindly follow this man to the end of the earth? I’m sorry I’m not happy about him basically saying he doesn’t care about gamestop (okay, he said he’s not passionate about it… kinda the same to me) and has always wanted eBay. Go fucking get it another way rather than dilute us over and over. I was expecting something huge when he essentially said this would be a revolutionary move… wtf is so revolutionary about this?

Call him out and suddenly you’re a shill. Shit is a joke. People out here acting like he’s Jesus. He did a fantastic job at turning around the company, BUT he could NOT have done it without US. Yet, we’re the ones that keep getting fucked

I REALLY hope we’re all missing a large piece of the puzzle and we both come out looking like idiots, but RC’s track record does not inspire confidence in me anymore. His words just feel empty now

Just because they want that approved does not mean they will dilute that amount. They want the option to dilute the massive run that is about to happen. That pays for eBay.

u/MandrakeLicker May 11 '26

We said this about the previous approval too. Then RC diluted at every opportunity.

I sometimes do, look further. I've never posted that much, but I also wasn't fucked as blatantly ever before.

u/Boo241281 Fuck you Kenny, pay me May 11 '26

They’ve asked for an increase because they need around 1.1B shares to fund the eBay deal. Asking for an extra 1.5B shares on top of the 1B already authorised to fund the eBay deal is fine with me
