You forgot the part about “as I, a billionaire who wastes our money on NFTs.....”.

there are exactly 9 cities with over a million people, what do you mean small?

Oh my god did he end his email with “Best of luck to us all”?

““It is not sustainable for GameStop to operate a money losing business,””

The problem is that GameStop is redundant, and no longer offers any major benefit to the consumer that they can’t get somewhere else.

I used to be a loyal GameStop customer back in the PS2 days, because GameStop would carry EVERYTHING. I couldn’t just walk into Walmart or Best Buy and get lesser known JRPGs, and the…

And the number of stores. I live in a small/medium sized city (about 1mil in our metro area) and we have more than 20 stores. There used to be a store near me where you could look out of the window and see another store. There shouldn’t be more than 3-4 stores here tops. 

“Sure I’m worth billions but I’m not getting a paycheck, so when you suffer, know that I’m right there with you, eating off-brand caviar, drinking Johnny Walker Green instead of Blue, and suffering other privations.”

The tone of that email definitely conveys positivity and optimism toward the company, it's future, and his own leadership 

“I will be straight to the point. It is not sustainable for GameStop to operate a money losing business. The mission is to operate hyper efficiently and profitably.”

So no more huge bonuses for store employees, or generous trade in values for games?

My first big layoff was from a company I had been at for over a decade and I got 6 months severance and health benefits, which was great, but it still took me forever to find a job (AND we were expecting a second kid) so there were a lot of dark moments there.
