  • 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.

    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.
