  • Yeah I agree with Domino. I know it’s not fair to ask people to do unpaid work so please don’t take this as that but I do agree that formalizing this process and setting it up as a podcast which can be hosted on multiple platforms (youtube, spotify, etc.) would go a long way for spreading the messaging. I have absolutely no idea how to go about any of that stuff however and totally understand you all have busy personal lives that may make this stuff impossible (it’s also probably a tone of work to polish to the point where you gain an audience). I listen to a few different podcasts on Spotify and youtube throughout the day (doing household tasks, taking the dogs for a walk, etc.) and absolutely love it, I imagine there’s many like me who will listen and learn when and where they can but it’s often difficult to tune into something live.




  • Sharing some of my initial rambling thoughts I sent to my IRL shrewdness after the wallet news:

    Yeah I think there is 100 percent wider regulatory games at play here. I do think it makes sense to focus on the marketplace and GameStop Playr (assuming there was an issue with running both the marketplace and the means of access (think DTCC + Broker)) then it makes sense to drop the wallet. Probably easier to partner with (and possibly acquire) the smaller companies already making this stuff than to try and bring that in house. I think we maybe found that out the hard way on the wallet side. Shitty but not largely material from a wider business perspective I don’t think (it even said in the last few quarterly reports that the Marketplace and NFT sales were immaterial at this time). Fail fast and small I suppose but I still wish I didn’t need to ditch it lol

    At this stage there is still a lack of quality Web3 gaming content…but it’s coming and I have faith that GameStoo is positioning themselves well for when it’s ready.




  • I’m sure there will be lot’s of good DRS chats and I don’t want to derail those conversations but one thing I would like to ask:

    What are the key (and brief) talking points that Kevin uses when he introduces GameStop as a potential investment to his clients?

    This is something I personally find tricky at times when talking to people irl about GameStop. It’s hard to not get caught up in the weeds at times when you have been here for 84 years and you are talking with someone who hasn’t been. I feel like Kevin might have some unique perspective around the fundamentals and key points he finds attractive and ways to effectively communicate them.

    Yeah this is a fair point and I have often wondered what it must be like working directly under RC. You definitely need to be someone in a grind and build mindset.

    I currently work under a boss that has an insane work ethic, if I’m putting in 50-60 hrs in a given week, he is easily doing 70-90. On one hand it’s motivating and inspiring to get through a push on a project and it’s nice to not have to worry that you are busting ass while your boss is sitting on theirs. On the other hand, it’s tiring when the pace doesn’t change or abate ever. It’s like dude…chill, we aren’t making any more for killing ourselves.

    Anyone in RC’s C-suite is going to have to be a very specific type of person and will need to buy into his vision to stick around long term.
