No, that’s not how embezzlement works. If he took $12 million from the company’s 60% that wasn’t earmarked as “bonus for Randy Pitchford”, then yes, it would be. But this was a contractual bonus.

And besides, would anyone rather that Pitchford took his $12 million from the employee’s 40%? No.

Good post

I love when game companies have these weird... whatever these are. I know it’s an entirely different universe of style, but they also just remind me how much I miss Kevin Butler in the PS3 era.

Why aren’t we seeing articles about other GameStop competitor, BestBuy?

I work for a grocery store, so yes I am a vital entity, and we are still working as usual. Gloves and masks have been labeled as “buy for yourself if you want them” and we are basically out of purell and sanitary wipes since we let customers come first (a practice that is honestly okay by me). The most recent mandate…

Yeah I do. It’s such a forced headline that it makes it seem like they have an agenda.

Holy shit do you guys have to somehow mention gamestop in every retail-based story you do. Are you trying to short them or something?

Basically there was one, but every other article about Pokemon SwSh was a cheeky jab at anyone not happy with franchises direction.

No. No no no. Kotaku isn’t allowed to criticize this after the dozen articles telling people complaining about Pokemon design decisions to sit down and shut up.

I had no idea that the fruits/colors were randomized and permanent. I got oranges and yellow, which I actually kind of like. Not restarting to switch it up because that would be insane.

The questions asked at the beginning of animal crossing have traditionally been the things that create the seed for the random things at creation.

“I swear that this one extra night will be the last time I cheat on you”

You didn’t read at all, did you? The first misunderstanding is the smaller one: She said she wanted one night with him to figure out her feelings. Not one night each week, but one literal night. Okay? Now let’s dig into it.

I feel like you were trying too hard to excuse the wife in the first letter. Whatever problems she had that led to her stepping out and starting an affair is HER problem to identify and fix, not Hbh. Her saying that she wants 1 night a week with her lover to help her figure out how she really feels is her telling how…

I will be much more impressed when it’s in my hands and working. Don’t get me wrong, I love my Xb1, but it’s less than was advertised leading up to it’s launch. I’ve learned over the years to take what Microsoft says with a mountain of salt. At this time leading up to up to the Xb1 launch Microsoft was spouting out at…

This isn’t a Gamestop issue, it’s an everywhere issue. There’s a shortage of supplies, so of course there’s going to be many places that aren’t going to have enough to do what’s actually needed to keep their store/office/home/whatever sanitized. That’s one of the reasons why people are being advised to stay at home…

Despite GameStop’s outward messaging, internal documents provided to Kotaku by a current employee show that the company is less than prepared for this pandemic

I have 100% medical, dental, and vision covered too, as well as medication and hospital stays. And I pay 0% in union dues. So by all means, feel free to throw you money away.

I can’t imagine too many developers want to give half their salaries away for Union dues.

You know booth babes haven’t been a thing for years now, right?
