GameStop has tried to buy eBay and it has all been more ridiculous than it sounds

GameStop is no longer what it used to be. It’s not just that the prices they offer do not correspond to the reality of the video game market, but in general, it seems that they are only talked about to discuss controversies. But it’s for good reason. It seems they are always getting involved in a new one. This year had not been the case yet, but their CEO, Ryan Cohen, has decided to change that, with what is probably the most outlandish idea of the year: to buy eBay.

GameStop is no longer what it used to be. It’s not just that the prices they offer do not correspond to the reality of the video game market, but in general, it seems that they are only talked about to discuss controversies. But it’s for good reason. It seems they are always getting involved in a new one. This year had not been the case yet, but their CEO, Ryan Cohen, has decided to change that, with what is probably the most outlandish idea of the year: to buy eBay. And today we are going to tell you all about this odyssey.

A seamless plan

On May 3rd, the CEO of GameStop, the already mentioned Ryan Cohen, made a striking public promise. He promised that he was going to buy eBay. Putting on the table $56 billion, the market valuation of the company, his intention was to acquire the famous online store to create a new company capable of competing in volume and importance with Amazon. A very eye-catching goal that caught the attention of everyone. Not for his interest in buying eBay, but for how he intended to do it.

His explanation was simple. GameStop already owns 5% of eBay’s shares. His idea was to invest $28 billion in cash, of which $20 billion would come from TD Bank, the eleventh largest bank in the US, with which they would buy the board’s stakes. Then, they would issue another billion in shares and thus control 70% of the company.

The problem is that none of this makes sense. To begin with, GameStop’s valuation is at $12 billion, so investing $8 billion is illogical. How TD Bank or any other bank would invest more than double what the interested company itself invests and under what conditions is something that also remained unclear and, moreover, does not make sense on paper. And how they were going to get the shares sold to them and take control of the board of directors was also not clear at any point.

So, Cohen decided to do the most logical thing in these cases: go on television to explain himself. In a regrettable spectacle lasting almost thirty minutes where the CEO of GameStop seemed not to be in his right mind, he was constantly dodging all the questions from the host and his collaborators, not clarifying any of the doubts. Leaving any kind of plausibility about the possibility of the purchase up in the air.

eBay says no

All of this culminated with eBay issuing a statement on April 12. In it, they stated that “we have considered your proposal to be neither credible nor attractive.” Not stopping there and wanting to confirm their thoughts on the matter, they emphasized that “the board, with the help of independent advisors, has studied your proposal and has determined to reject it”. Cutting off any possibility of this purchase taking place.

But to be realistic, this purchase has never been able to take place. There was no material evidence that they had the means to make it, no matter how much hypothetical interest existed. So, why did they do this? It’s hard to know. But it doesn’t seem like they are going to stop here.

Because in fact, the odyssey is not over yet. Cohen has expressed his desire, after eBay’s outright refusal, that “the eBay shareholders themselves deserve the opportunity to evaluate them.” Stating that it is irresponsible to dismiss a proposal of 125 dollars per share, “I don’t want to make hasty decisions because we are dealing with people who make a lot of money and are not owners of the business, but we will do whatever it takes to present this proposal to the true owners of the company”. Therefore, it seems he still has an ace up his sleeve. Or something to gain by continuing with this.

What is the reason for all this? No one is clear about it. Some people want to see in this movement an attempt by GameStop to increase the value of its shares, but, in reality, its shares fell in the market after the announcement of the purchase of eBay. Others have wanted to see an attempt to become relevant at a time when it is becoming an increasingly irrelevant company. But the only thing certain is that GameStop is not going to buy eBay. Not for now. It also doesn’t seem like they will stop trying even though they lack the credibility or the means for this small fish to eat this big whale.

Fans complain that nothing has happened in season 5 of The Boys and its showrunner thinks that "you are watching the wrong show"

On social media, a group of fans is furious because they believe that the fifth season of The Boys has failed to meet their expectations. Responding that the season has lacked the development of events from past seasons, “nothing is happening,” they feel disappointed by how the series has evolved as it approaches its conclusion. This is something that the show’s runner, Eric Kripke, has strong statements about. Tired of the superficiality of certain fans, he said, “What are you expecting? A fight scene every episode? First, I can’t afford that. And second, it could be so empty and hollow, and that could just be […]

Responding that the season has lacked the development of events from past seasons, “nothing is happening,” they feel disappointed by how the series has evolved as it approaches its conclusion. This is something that the show’s creator, Eric Kripke, has strong statements about.

Tired of the superficiality of certain fans

“What are you waiting for? A fight scene every episode? First, I can’t afford that. And second, it could be so empty and hollow, and that could just be shapes moving without any relevance,” Kripke stated. But he wanted to emphasize that it’s not just that they don’t have the means to do a fight per episode, but also that they don’t want to. “We think we have all these important character details. We have about 14 characters, maybe 15. And we owe it to all of them (…) I owe it to all of them to develop and humanize them in the story.”

Declaring himself furious that people reduce the narrative to moments of violence and do not understand the subtlety of character development, Kripke has ended up stating that if you think that if no one is shooting, nothing is happening “you are watching the wrong series”. Thus making it clear what he believes is the strength of his series: its characters and themes, not its violence and the impact of its twists.

This decision adds to a series of recent setbacks for the company, including the closure of its MMORPG New World: Aeternum and the more recent King of Meat, which ended its cycle just five months after its release.

It’s not you, it’s me

2024 had begun with the hope of a new alliance between Amazon and Maverick Games, announced in May and promising an AAA narrative project under the direction of veterans like Mike Brown, co-founder of Maverick and former creative director of the Forza Horizon saga.

However, Amazon has strategically changed its focus, prioritizing projects that align with its business vision, such as the relaunch of its Luna platform and a new partnership with Crystal Dynamics for the development of Tomb Raider.

In a statement, Amazon emphasized its intention to release Maverick Games from the agreement so that the studio could continue its development without the shadow of a collaboration that no longer fit the company’s direction.

Despite the loss of Amazon as a publishing partner, Mike Brown and Harinder Sangha have stated that work on their game is ongoing and that they are seeking new allies to bring their vision to life, promising more updates throughout the year.

The situation is not isolated, as last year Amazon laid off a large part of its staff dedicated to MMOs, affecting not only New World, which will shut down permanently in 2026, but also other projects in development, such as an unannounced MMO based on The Lord of the Rings.

For now, the futures of these projects are uncertain without Amazon’s backing, although the intellectual property remains in the hands of the developers.

If you're looking for an action movie for the weekend, there's a classic from 1974 on Prime Video that you shouldn't miss

Contemporary action cinema has been criticized for its excessive reliance on special effects and explosions, which has distorted the essence of a genre that used to base its strength on more realistic and tense situations. In this context, classics like Pelham 1, 2, 3 resurface, a thriller directed by Joseph Sargent that stands out for its human approach and the construction of tension in an everyday setting: a subway heist in New York City.

Contemporary action cinema has been criticized for its excessive reliance on special effects and explosions, which has distorted the essence of a genre that used to base its strength on more real and tense situations. In this context, classics like Pelham 1, 2, 3 resurface, a thriller directed by Joseph Sargent that stands out for its human approach and the construction of tension in an everyday setting: a robbery in the New York subway.

A true carousel of action and edge-of-your-seat narrative

Pelham 1, 2, 3, now available for streaming on Amazon Prime Video, is considered a key representation of New York cinema, encapsulating the chaotic reality of the city’s streets. The story follows another day in the subway, where a group of kidnappers takes 17 passengers hostage and demands a ransom of one million dollars. The film, through its relentless narrative, manages to push the characters and the audience to the brink of a situation that could be considered ordinary.

This thriller stands out for its professional craftsmanship and its ability to maintain street-level tension, something that many consider lost in today’s hyperproduction. The cast, filled with charismatic male characters, provides an atmosphere of suspense that feels credible and palpable. Despite the passage of time, Pelham 1, 2, 3 remains relevant, not only as a myth of action cinema but also as an authentic representation of a period when stories were told with a more daring and gritty approach.

Sargent’s film, through its narrative and claustrophobic setting, invites reflection on the evolution of spectacle in action cinema, making it clear that genuine emotions and real situations can indeed be more impactful than any exaggerated explosion of the modern era.

Amazon is facing cybersecurity issues… because of AI!

Recent findings from Sysdig’s threat research team highlight an alarming shift in the way malicious actors are using artificial intelligence (AI) to carry out attacks in the cloud. According to the report, attackers have drastically reduced the cloud attack cycle from hours to minutes, using AI tools like language models to automate information gathering and the generation of malicious code.

Recent findings from the Sysdig threat research team highlight an alarming shift in the way malicious actors are using artificial intelligence (AI) to carry out cloud attacks. According to the report, attackers have drastically reduced the cloud attack cycle from hours to minutes, using AI tools such as language models to automate information gathering and the generation of malicious code.

Amazon against AI?

A notable case occurred in November 2025, when attackers obtained valid Amazon Web Services (AWS) credentials that were publicly stored in S3 buckets. In less than 10 minutes, they escalated from the initial credential theft to gaining administrative privileges, thereby compromising an AWS environment that included critical services such as Lambda, EC2, and CloudWatch.

During the operation, the attackers distributed their processes across 19 AWS principles and created a user with administrative access named “backdoor-admin.” This strategy demonstrates a remarkable sophistication in the persistence of their attacks. Additionally, security evasion techniques were employed, such as tools to rotate IP addresses, making it difficult to detect their activities.

The research also indicates that the use of language models allowed attackers to produce more effective code, including a script that featured comprehensive exception handling and comments in Serbian. Additionally, several AI-generated “hallucinations” were identified, such as attempts to assume roles in fictitious AWS account IDs and references to non-existent repositories.

Experts warn about the need to implement least privilege principles for all users and IAM roles, restrict certain permissions, and enable invocation logging to prevent future incidents. With the advancement of language model capabilities, it is likely that attacks of this kind will become more common, highlighting the urgency of strengthening defenses in the field of cybersecurity.

This promotion is valid until February 6 and allows players to explore a compilation of experiences ranging from turn-based RPGs to 3D adventures in an open world.

Looking to capitalize on the series’ pull

The first two Fallout games are considered classics of the genre, with their isometric style and turn-based design that established the foundations of the series. Although they have a nostalgic feel, these titles are essential for understanding the blend of retro aesthetics and sarcastic humor that characterizes the saga. Many new players are advised to start with these installments or with Fallout 3 and New Vegas, which offer a more modern and dynamic approach to RPGs.

Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas, developed by Bethesda and Obsidian respectively, are widely praised for their immersive storytelling and real-time gameplay. These titles stand out not only for their graphics and combat mechanics but also for their deep character development and moral choices. While Fallout 4 introduced base building and resource mechanics, Fallout 76 strayed from the traditional format to offer a multiplayer experience in a survival environment, although its launch received mixed reviews. However, the game has evolved and has established itself as one of the most prominent in its genre.

With each release offering a diverse experience, the Fallout series has captivated millions worldwide and has become a cultural phenomenon. Anyone who chooses to delve into this universe is sure to find something that resonates with their inclination for video games. The sale on Steam presents a unique opportunity to enjoy these classics and more contemporary titles at an affordable price.
