Give Me All The GameStop Jokes

I’m not even going to pretend to understand what’s going on with GameStop—I’ll leave that to the excellent reporting of fellow Kotaku writer Ethan Gach. No, as with most things in life, I’m just here for the jokes. And social media has produced no shortage of silliness in response to this absurd situation.

As usual, Hard Drive is right on the money.

Dan Hernandez still has a vendetta against Electronics Boutique after all these years, and honestly, I can’t really blame him.

This Game Stop stock stuff is hilarious, but let us not forget they acquired Electronics Boutique, and Electronics Boutique said they were holding a copy of Star Wars: Dark Forces for me on the release day in 1995 and then turned around and sold it! There are no heroes here. pic.twitter.com/dY8q78ab3w
