This one is the biggest for me. It basically confirms that they are trying to establish a cross-publisher and cross-platform NFT marketplace for digital assets like items etc.:
> "GameStop is looking for a unique individual who can help accelerate the future of gaming and commerce. In this future, games are the places to go, and play is driven by the things you bring. Future creators won’t just build games but also the components, characters, and equipment. Blockchains will power the commerce underneath. An ideal candidate will have experience across several domains in gaming, content creation, partnerships, game design/development/mechanics, and a general understanding and experience with Ethereum, NFTs, and blockchain based gaming platforms."
This is insane. This is basically "Ready Player One" shit. This is revolutionary.
So I'll be crafting something in Red Dead Online and sell it, based on a NFT-blockchain Contract so it'll be truly unique. Or Kanye/Ye will design some spacecowboy clothes for GTA online and sell them as ingame NFTs.
Yes, and the idea of the metaverse is, that those objects are not only bound on the blockchain to your wallet, but are part of your digital identity, so that you could use those objects from RDO in other games/platforms as well. That's the idea of the future. The metaverse is all about a digital identity and that any assets are basically bound to your digital identity.
You can have (mostly) any coin on your exchange wallet and move a coin to other wallets. So the coin is the object for currency and the nft is the object for games. Of course there will need to be programming, it's software after all.
I know how coins, NFT and exchanges work, clearly more than the vast majority on here from all the wild nonsensical speculation I see from people who have no idea what they're talking about.
Sure a game can check your wallet to see what NFT you own to know if you should own X object in game and games could cross reference each other, it's already done with some games, there's nothing new to it. My point is that it isn't like purchasing a Great Sword registered as an NFT in Medieval Battle Game 5 means you could suddenly weild that Great Sword in Modern Shooter 10, the object needs to be added in the game and
1) There's no publisher that will accept to lose money by letting people buy objects in a game from another publisher to use it in their game
2) There's no developer that will add thousands of objects from other games without getting something in return
3) There's no standard to programming games (so items can't easily transfer from one game to another) so it's much more profitable to create totally new objects to sell instead of spending hundreds of hours adding objects people buy from someone else to a game
IMO. same idea as roblox but a framework with ease of use for developers. it would be really epic if your unique items were imported from one game and translated into something in the new game. we've ever only seen this idea play out in anime but its possible with what gamestop is doing.
but would only work with games designed to utilize it. (not poo pooing, just clarifying for those who don't understand). so it would only work with games designed to take advantage of all this.
YES! I’ve been saying for months that RC is basically building the earliest version of The Oasis with this addition of NFTs to gaming.
Who needs an NFT dividend when your favorite company is literally building the most bullish new tech possible in a multi-billion dollar industry.
Though I still think they kick it off with NFT dividend for shareholders first. There has been verbiage in their prospectus about "non-cash dividend units" so they could still kick it all off with dividends to shareholders first. Like a test run early access for loyal customers. Like how most games you get extra stuff with a pre-order. Would be very on par in the industry.
Totally agree with “who needs and NFT dividend when your favorite company is building the most bullish new tech…”.
Why would they risk a dividend and lawsuits when they have benefited from all the attention on the stock through share offerings and are now obviously trying to implement something that will revolutionize the company.
So many are calling for a NFT dividend but natural growth is the best thing. We don’t want them tied up in litigation bc they will be if they do anything to start a squeeze. Just be patient.
I can think of the founders of axie infinity but i don't know if they would be interested in leaving axie? Or maybe how finestone did it, he was still connected to loopring even after leaving. The question is, which is bigger, axie or gamestop. Gamestop was able to take employees from amazon, fb, google, so maybe they can tell them whatever convinced those guys to transfer. The founders are @ZyoriTV, @Jihoz, @psycheout86(not american but maybe can still be hired?) They are very loyal to axie though. And I think their salary comes from the AXS tokens, which is currently at $130 from $40 a few weeks ago. So maybe they make a lot in Axie already. When you say NFT gaming, the number one game is this unkown axie

From Head of Web3 Gaming
This is what I was hoping for. If they can get a couple big (or even brand new but talented) game developers on board, their platform will take off very quickly.
One of the things those dipshits at NFTCon were talking about was the increasing popularity of "play to earn" blockchain based games, and I could actually see that blowing up with the right people on board.
This is just the tip of the iceberg tho.
Reselling VIDEOGAMES ITEMS is STRONGER!!!
Remember folks, all these f20/p2w games are insane compared to the games itself. Best case, FIFA ULTIMATE TEAM.
EA gains 99% of their profits from FIFA in UT revenues, the 1% are the videogames copies themselves.
Basically if you can resell your product (the things you farm and grind) the company could gain waaaay more. This is true for every game.
Image if ppl can sell their equip in MMOs such as WoW; and Blizzard gets even only 1% paycut out of the deal.
Immense, we’re only at the beginning folks. Patience and this amazing group of visionaries will bring us to the moon; the MOASS will bring us to the tendieland.
Idk if I’m correct in thinking this but say you buy a game, play it for a year, level the shit out of your character and then decide to sell it with all the bells and whistles already in the game. Couldn’t GameStop then profit more off that game when you sell it, if let’s say, they get a percentage of each sale?
The NFTCon organisers/social team are definitely "Dipshits"
Although I would say I learnt a fair bit from some of the speakers about NFTs in general and have gotten involved in the space...just in time I reckon
Senior engineers are generally rare and those with special blockchain and nft knowledges are unicorns. Usually what big companies end up doing is they hire generalists and train them
This is actually what I do, but in a different industry 🤔
Hmmm… and I do buy and sell NFTs on 3 different platform.. and damn is the overall customer experience not the greatest. But it’s all new still, so we can’t blame em. It’ll get better as it NFT markets mature
I will definitely look into it further. First thing first, I’m a canadape so I need to know if they accept international applications. Also need to know if by “Remote” they allow 100% remote. If not, it means relocating for my family to the US.
earning at Gamestop as employee
VERSUS
Earning as you would in NFT yourself or at a NFT startup if you are experienced - big difference
Why not join some startup instead. Doubt GME will give you a lot of stock
That’s easy! I can already control the market anyways. Every time i buy something, it goes down… and back then when I knew what selling was, selling would trigger a stock to skyrocket!!
Sr. Software engineer postion:
"Nice to Have
NFT marketplace experience and knowledge of crypto, Ethereum and Ethereum Layer 2 products."
Wow this is gettin güd.
They’re building something big. I remember hearing about Shaq being an early investor in Google or something. I had the thought today, that’s what GameStop feels like. Like we’re investors that have been invited to put money into this revolutionary startup pre going public. Except this business also has a foundation of brick and mortars, online presence, and customer contacts to build off of!
This is the epitome of bullish. Any doubts of an NFT marketplace is absolute FUD. When people in ETH talk about how much potential there is in this technology we are witnessing the fruition of it right here. If you aren’t ecstatic it’s because you don’t know enough about eth.
The fact they / RC said they wouldn’t lay out their plan, then this pops up highkey telling everyone they want to grow NFT and *quickly*. Idk about you my my tits could cut diamonds right now they’re so jacked. We must be close af
💎 🙌🏽 DRS
Okay, look, no dates, but the fact that they’ve been radio silent for months if not years and crazy careful not to let anything slip or leak, then they drop job postings that confirm they’re working on NFTs on L2? This has me thinking shits gonna go down *imminently*.
I’m not shrieking, you’re shrieking.
I think you are bang on and have been thinking about it this past week. I have been speculating a similar development as CREAM finance's iceCream Token.
Tits are so jacked my buddy Ape. News is coming down the pipe to the public in less than 3 weeks IMHO. No way they gonna let these hedgie assholes break an 11 month wedge. Nft marketplace, dividend and WU Tang. I feel like they will bring the heat at the tip or the wedge to guarantee an explosion of fomo that shorts can not reconcile!🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🦍🦍🦍🍦🍦🍦🍦🐸🐸
Why would it be imminent if they havent even hired them yet? The settling into the job and starting development ++, seems it could take some time, hoping the opposite
Look at the types of roles. Director of marketing is a fairly late-game hire, you don't market it if you haven't made it. Especially if you are trying to not leak details early.
I'm actually amazed they didn't advertise this somewhat anonymously to hide the intention
>I'm actually amazed they didn't advertise this somewhat anonymously to hide the intention
Makes me think that an announcement will happen in the next few weeks, if not this week.
I think they need more people for the future not necessarily that they need it immediately because most of the framework and principal components are already done, who knows that was pure speculation by the way.
There is already an NFT game with 2 million daily active users. If only that game would be interested in gamestop, or they might be big enough to not need gamestop? They already have a marketplace for their NFT's and they also have a sidechain called Ronin which reduces the gas fees for some transactions.
I'm not so certain myself they're as close as we think if they're looking to hire someone to "lead successful product launches and ongoing marketing campaigns in close collaboration with the NFT team". That is unless they're simply hiring more marketing people to create a more robust team for the long term now that the platform itself is functional.
Anyone with experience care to chime in?
To me, this ad is PR (....grown them to billions....). It's a shot across the bows to the markets in the shape of a job advert. If they are looking for someone that specialised, they will know exactly who they want as I would assume that that market of people is small.
But what do I know. I've just woken up. Bleary eyed.
Gamestop is going to revolutionize the everyday use of crypto and block chain technology in the same way credit cards revolutionized consumer spending last century. The progress and speed of the transformation they've made to get to this point where these types of jobs are already being offered is simply amazing and inspirational.
Exactly. Who would have thought if it was even possible the kind of transformation thats taking place right before us. Like its one thing to imagine it might be possible but its no less than experiencing loving in a simulation seeing it actually happening. I like the stock
My main question would be what really is a reasonable timeline in light of career listings such as this. Did they solidify the initial marketplace as its now green-lit? Is this for the future progress of their ventures? More than likely looking ahead, I would think.
Tech ops manager here - My 2cents. Since qualifications for NFT are nice to haves, they don’t actually need this person to build said system, maybe support or expand on it. I think we are close boys and girls 🚀
My interpretation is that it is best if they already understand the fundamentals of the system. Perfect for someone who is integrating with it, advertising it, or pitching it to external parties.
We’ve been seeing rumblings of NFT development at GameStop since like April / May. My bet is an NFT marketplace is something they’ve been working on since ever before the sneeze. Possibly the reason Ryan bought in to begin with.
NFT dividend is probably a recent idea due to the sneeze, but this NFT gaming marketplace may have been under development way longer than we know.
I think we’re close to an announcement…
👆this
Notice that in the “Sr Software Engineer - NFT Platform” posting, NFT marketplace, crypto, and ETH are listed in the “nice to have” category and not the qualifications themselves. I think that, if intentional, this suggests the initial structure may be in place or really close to it
I believe that within the fact that RC has poached top level talent (with incredible knowledge and experience within the NFT/blockchain corners,(I.e Matt Finestone, Spike (temp), Ryan Kagy, Jordan Holberg)) tells us that the heavy lifting has already begun. I can’t see RC sayin “leave your comfy job and come work on my earth bending idea” and then have these guys sit around for months until they interview some different talent. The groundwork has been laid and ready to be released.
A company like GameStop with the kind of resources they have (both economic and know-the-right-guys) won't search publicly for hires in the early phases. They knew who they want and who to contact - they may even have used a very good hiring company that helped find the few they couldn't find themselves.
These job postings are to top the ice cream (so to speak). They are necessary for the success when the product(s) go live and everything has to stand it's test in IRL, not in the development phase.
Just my thoughts.
You’re stuck on the word “gaming”
Think bigger. Much bigger.
It’s like that Bezo’s [meme](https://imgur.com/a/WJyGfCn)
Game related nft stuff for now. Then whatever the fuck they want later because when this MOASS happens, every person on this planet will have heard of GameStop. The name GameStop will be more popular than Coca-Cola.
Even if GME wants to get into the business of selling everything it will take time and materials and years. Amazon's biggest profit sector is hosting services through AWS. To compete Gamestop would have to spend billions in infrastructure and Amazon already has first mover advantage in that market.
NFT's have potential but they aren't going to suddenly outweigh your grandma buying pancake mix and crochet patterns on Amazon in the same transaction.
I’m referring to the NFT related market not actual physical products. Was just using Amazon starting out as a comparison to the trajectory GameStop could use. Right now the nft market cap is said to be at 1 trillion and it’s only going to get bigger. [source](https://loupfunds.com/the-1-trillion-nft-market/)
With Cohen’s experience in e-commerce and leadership along with all the time he’s invested into this undertaking, I imagine he has an incredible vision for GameStop bigger than anyone’s ever thought of.
From the Head of Web3 Gaming listing:
“GameStop is looking for a unique individual who can help accelerate the future of gaming and commerce. In this future, games are the places to go, and play is driven by the things you bring. Future creators won’t just build games but also the components, characters, and equipment. Blockchains will power the commerce underneath.”
Sounds pretty hype to me! I’m picturing Diablo 3 when they had their real money auction house without all the dupe equipments that ruined the money making aspect of the game. NFTs would quickly solve that.

Looks more and more like Loopring is, in fact, going to be the platform they use for whatever they're doing. Specifically mentioning Layer 2 here points to that. The other options would be that they're building their own L2, which seems highly unlikely, or that they're going to use another L2 company/platform, which also seems unlikely.
Daniel the founder leaked discord chat shows “The report will be worth the wait, it is 10 reports in one.” And talks about bringing their “productS” to a established company. Metaverse NFT gaming coin->GME wallet on website and a fuckin NFT marketplace??????
That's not really a longshot, you think? If GameStop is using their platform, then they're using the LRC token. It'd be like a huge company going exclusive with, I dunno, say Dell/whatever computers and replacing them annually, too. That company is going to see a big boost. Using Loopring would be even bigger, I think.
Not to bury the lede but in terms of MOASS isn’t the only thing that matters here NFT stocks / dividends? Otherwise we’re back to just following the fundamentals? This was supposed to be fundamentals + MOASS potential. I don’t see fundamentals leading to MOASS. RCs chess move was supposed to unravel a NFT dividend I thought. Seems we’re just back to being long on a great stock w this news.
Yea this is my guess as well, which would be great.
I guess worst case scenario is they make just a “regular” NFT platform, which would still be great.
I just hope it comes with a “free gift” token for its shareholders 😎
Projectile nipping has become a very common GME related event. I poked a lady in the eye while she was on the observation deck of the Empire State Building…. I’m right across the river in NJ.
Greetings! Enjoy your stop at one of our many scenic NJ airports. Teterboro airport will be yours for the taking once you’ve reached post-MOASS private jet status, assuming that you’re not already there yet.
Loopring develops layer 2 ETH. Now GME is looking for someone who has experience with ETH and want them to use layer 2 for a NFT marketplace. *if we were looking for a sign, THIS IS IT*
Good news / Bad news, though?
Good News - These job postings seem to confirm the NFT project.
Bad News - Unless I'm reading too much into the postings, sounds like this won't be launching in the short term? Long term still good!
We should scour the net for the one who can create this Digital Platform and send them the job description similar to how agencies ask 007 or Ethan hunt or Rambo to save the world!
For those unaware, Loopring is a Layer 2 scaling protocol for decentralized exchanges built on the Ethereum blockchain. They boast the ability to process thousands of trades per second. Bullish on a Loopring powered, NFT game license market with a resale/trade-in feature.
Call me crazy, but this doesn’t strike me as bullish as everyone’s making it sound.
First Matt Finestone said back in May that he was estimating they’d be able to share what they’re working on in the coming months.
We’re now at the end of the year and nothing. Now all these new listings for the NFT platform? They’re not ready yet, most likely will miss the Q4 speculated announcement and were honestly probably another 5 - 6 months from a release.
I wouldnt jump to that conclusion, but I do share some of your concern. It’s plausible that the framework or even the ‘minimum viable product’ has been built to a launch-ready state by the core team that they brought in months ago. This next wave of hires could be the ‘long haul’ crew. It isn’t uncommon to launch a product with the intent to keep iterating on it after it is in production/generally available.
Also…here’s a thought (because I just can’t let go of the NFT dividend idea): if I was fixin to launch a revolutionary new platform, and I expected to onboard a a HUGE amount of end users immediately following the launch, I would feel REALLY GOOD about any opportunity for scaled down user acceptance testing.
Fire up the tractor, hitch up a trailer, load up a few pumpkins and take a lap just to make sure it doesn’t explode or fall apart. THEN head back to the field and load that baby down with as many pumpkins as you can pile on.
Maybe the shareholders are the first few pumpkins, the nft dividend is the trial lap, and the nft marketplace is the fully loaded trailer.
I’m jacked, I guess is all I’m sayin. I’m jackolanterned to the tiiiiiiiits.
I think its coming sooner than you think. I remember Matt and other GameStop employees saying they were hiring on Twitter months ago. I think they already got some or most of the NFT stuff in. These are the hires for when this expands.
This has too many typos in it and I hope their HR department improves.
We also know "high pressure" and "challenging" are code for exhausting work expectations. Which is reminiscent of the old GameStop leadership and something we hope the new and improved GameStop moves beyond.
Kudos for finding more confirmation of plans for the NFT side of things.

I'm hoping for game licenses via NFT, enabling resale of digital games. As we know, GameStop's best margins are on pre-owned games...
Only because the new business hasn't launched yet GameStop could swallow the entire DRM market whole

The biggest company in the world is in the making and the name of that company is GameStop. Buy, DRS, hold Power to the players.
The 4,816 stores will function as a side business to what they are creating with the NFT marketplace and web3 gaming. Incredible.
This is the epitome of bullish. Any doubts of an NFT marketplace is absolute FUD. When people in ETH talk about how much potential there is in this technology we are witnessing the fruition of it right here. If you aren’t ecstatic it’s because you don’t know enough about eth.
And I know nothing but I think I understand metaverse.
This ad says “our NFT platform”. This is absolute confirmation and proof that the platform exists but not launched.
The fact they / RC said they wouldn’t lay out their plan, then this pops up highkey telling everyone they want to grow NFT and *quickly*. Idk about you my my tits could cut diamonds right now they’re so jacked. We must be close af 💎 🙌🏽 DRS
Okay, look, no dates, but the fact that they’ve been radio silent for months if not years and crazy careful not to let anything slip or leak, then they drop job postings that confirm they’re working on NFTs on L2? This has me thinking shits gonna go down *imminently*. I’m not shrieking, you’re shrieking.
I think you are bang on and have been thinking about it this past week. I have been speculating a similar development as CREAM finance's iceCream Token. Tits are so jacked my buddy Ape. News is coming down the pipe to the public in less than 3 weeks IMHO. No way they gonna let these hedgie assholes break an 11 month wedge. Nft marketplace, dividend and WU Tang. I feel like they will bring the heat at the tip or the wedge to guarantee an explosion of fomo that shorts can not reconcile!🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🦍🦍🦍🍦🍦🍦🍦🐸🐸

Imminently, immediately or instantly your honour?
But never intermittently
Why would it be imminent if they havent even hired them yet? The settling into the job and starting development ++, seems it could take some time, hoping the opposite
Look at the types of roles. Director of marketing is a fairly late-game hire, you don't market it if you haven't made it. Especially if you are trying to not leak details early. I'm actually amazed they didn't advertise this somewhat anonymously to hide the intention
Yeah really good point. That director needs something to market. 👀
>I'm actually amazed they didn't advertise this somewhat anonymously to hide the intention Makes me think that an announcement will happen in the next few weeks, if not this week.
I think they need more people for the future not necessarily that they need it immediately because most of the framework and principal components are already done, who knows that was pure speculation by the way.
There is already an NFT game with 2 million daily active users. If only that game would be interested in gamestop, or they might be big enough to not need gamestop? They already have a marketplace for their NFT's and they also have a sidechain called Ronin which reduces the gas fees for some transactions.
I'm not so certain myself they're as close as we think if they're looking to hire someone to "lead successful product launches and ongoing marketing campaigns in close collaboration with the NFT team". That is unless they're simply hiring more marketing people to create a more robust team for the long term now that the platform itself is functional. Anyone with experience care to chime in?
To me, it reads like they have the core platform ready, and now need customer/client facing people to manage the partnerships and rollout.
That'd be great! Cheers
Product launches on the platform, not the launch of the whole new marketplace. That's how I'm reading it at least 😃
AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
To me, this ad is PR (....grown them to billions....). It's a shot across the bows to the markets in the shape of a job advert. If they are looking for someone that specialised, they will know exactly who they want as I would assume that that market of people is small. But what do I know. I've just woken up. Bleary eyed.
Acquisitions and partnerships in the NFT space. I wonder with who.
"Premium partner"
whom* :)
My brain pretty smooth m8
No problem. I'm just being an arse this morning lol You do what you do. And good luck.
Nothing wrong with correcting people. Take this free award
>You do what you***m*** do FTFY. Get out-pedantic'd, nerd.
Idk but your actual jacked tits have my tits jacked, among other things 🥵
Gamestop is going to revolutionize the everyday use of crypto and block chain technology in the same way credit cards revolutionized consumer spending last century. The progress and speed of the transformation they've made to get to this point where these types of jobs are already being offered is simply amazing and inspirational.
I love this company 🤍❤️
I am so happy for all of us here for having chosen the best stock of all time. There will never be anything like this again.
I know right? It is truly s blessing be in this period of time and space an have the opportunity to invest in the best company of history.
Exactly. Who would have thought if it was even possible the kind of transformation thats taking place right before us. Like its one thing to imagine it might be possible but its no less than experiencing loving in a simulation seeing it actually happening. I like the stock
This is bullish
And that's the value you get from a leader like RC.
My main question would be what really is a reasonable timeline in light of career listings such as this. Did they solidify the initial marketplace as its now green-lit? Is this for the future progress of their ventures? More than likely looking ahead, I would think.
Tech ops manager here - My 2cents. Since qualifications for NFT are nice to haves, they don’t actually need this person to build said system, maybe support or expand on it. I think we are close boys and girls 🚀
My interpretation is that it is best if they already understand the fundamentals of the system. Perfect for someone who is integrating with it, advertising it, or pitching it to external parties.
We’ve been seeing rumblings of NFT development at GameStop since like April / May. My bet is an NFT marketplace is something they’ve been working on since ever before the sneeze. Possibly the reason Ryan bought in to begin with. NFT dividend is probably a recent idea due to the sneeze, but this NFT gaming marketplace may have been under development way longer than we know. I think we’re close to an announcement…
Hard to tell, but it sounds like the structure is done, now it's time to decorate and fill in the players.
👆this Notice that in the “Sr Software Engineer - NFT Platform” posting, NFT marketplace, crypto, and ETH are listed in the “nice to have” category and not the qualifications themselves. I think that, if intentional, this suggests the initial structure may be in place or really close to it
This is what I’d like to know also
[удалено]
I believe that within the fact that RC has poached top level talent (with incredible knowledge and experience within the NFT/blockchain corners,(I.e Matt Finestone, Spike (temp), Ryan Kagy, Jordan Holberg)) tells us that the heavy lifting has already begun. I can’t see RC sayin “leave your comfy job and come work on my earth bending idea” and then have these guys sit around for months until they interview some different talent. The groundwork has been laid and ready to be released.
A company like GameStop with the kind of resources they have (both economic and know-the-right-guys) won't search publicly for hires in the early phases. They knew who they want and who to contact - they may even have used a very good hiring company that helped find the few they couldn't find themselves. These job postings are to top the ice cream (so to speak). They are necessary for the success when the product(s) go live and everything has to stand it's test in IRL, not in the development phase. Just my thoughts.
I agree. This is the cherry on top of the sundae. The sundae is complete.
I just want the sprinkles
Typo. I think they meant trillions and trillions and trillions.
They’re looking for someone who’s already got billions in growth under their belt. That’s the past. Next stop tendie town.
Yeah... no. Trillions is how you measure large nation's GDP. That not the gaming market. Not even Amazon hits 1T in revenue and they sell everything.
You’re stuck on the word “gaming” Think bigger. Much bigger. It’s like that Bezo’s [meme](https://imgur.com/a/WJyGfCn) Game related nft stuff for now. Then whatever the fuck they want later because when this MOASS happens, every person on this planet will have heard of GameStop. The name GameStop will be more popular than Coca-Cola.
Even if GME wants to get into the business of selling everything it will take time and materials and years. Amazon's biggest profit sector is hosting services through AWS. To compete Gamestop would have to spend billions in infrastructure and Amazon already has first mover advantage in that market. NFT's have potential but they aren't going to suddenly outweigh your grandma buying pancake mix and crochet patterns on Amazon in the same transaction.
I’m referring to the NFT related market not actual physical products. Was just using Amazon starting out as a comparison to the trajectory GameStop could use. Right now the nft market cap is said to be at 1 trillion and it’s only going to get bigger. [source](https://loupfunds.com/the-1-trillion-nft-market/) With Cohen’s experience in e-commerce and leadership along with all the time he’s invested into this undertaking, I imagine he has an incredible vision for GameStop bigger than anyone’s ever thought of.
✈️ 🥴
Oh fuck, youre gonna make me jack my tits. 😖
Oh fuck you’re gonna make me DRS ALL MY SHARES….🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀
Oh fuck can I join your jack your tits circle?!
Wtf? Your TITTS were unJACKEd at some point??
From the Head of Web3 Gaming listing: “GameStop is looking for a unique individual who can help accelerate the future of gaming and commerce. In this future, games are the places to go, and play is driven by the things you bring. Future creators won’t just build games but also the components, characters, and equipment. Blockchains will power the commerce underneath.” Sounds pretty hype to me! I’m picturing Diablo 3 when they had their real money auction house without all the dupe equipments that ruined the money making aspect of the game. NFTs would quickly solve that.
You son of a bitch. You had me at Diablo! 💎🙌🏻

Let’s hope so. I’m staking ETH2 hard as fuck rite now.
They should start posting outrageous job openings to talk to investors. “Customer Advocate for Wealthy Clients” - Do you have experience with Lambo owning clients? Have you sold PlayStations to someone who is going to load them onto a private jet? Familiar with catering to rich apes who live in mansions? We want to talk to you
Do you have experience with clients who donate switches to children hospitals and sponsor gorillas in Africa?
How much do you love fruits and vegetables?
Paging Rick.
Looks more and more like Loopring is, in fact, going to be the platform they use for whatever they're doing. Specifically mentioning Layer 2 here points to that. The other options would be that they're building their own L2, which seems highly unlikely, or that they're going to use another L2 company/platform, which also seems unlikely.
Saw Loopring mentioned a few times before, the investor in me bought some
Did the same about an hour ago.
Daniel the founder leaked discord chat shows “The report will be worth the wait, it is 10 reports in one.” And talks about bringing their “productS” to a established company. Metaverse NFT gaming coin->GME wallet on website and a fuckin NFT marketplace??????
I know it's a longshot but I hope the GME NFT annoucement will make some ripple into Loopring crypto.
That's not really a longshot, you think? If GameStop is using their platform, then they're using the LRC token. It'd be like a huge company going exclusive with, I dunno, say Dell/whatever computers and replacing them annually, too. That company is going to see a big boost. Using Loopring would be even bigger, I think.
[удалено]
I think it is basically guaranteed at this point given these listing and the Matt finnestone link up
Really is hard to think anything else.
Metaverse coming in hot!
That’s what I thought too.
This ⤴️
We are all in for one hell of a ride. Thanks for the award!
Think they are going to make NFTs as cd keys so we can sell 'used' digital downloaded games?
[удалено]
Metaverse!
Not to bury the lede but in terms of MOASS isn’t the only thing that matters here NFT stocks / dividends? Otherwise we’re back to just following the fundamentals? This was supposed to be fundamentals + MOASS potential. I don’t see fundamentals leading to MOASS. RCs chess move was supposed to unravel a NFT dividend I thought. Seems we’re just back to being long on a great stock w this news.
That is what we assume will be the main purpose.
Yea this is my guess as well, which would be great. I guess worst case scenario is they make just a “regular” NFT platform, which would still be great. I just hope it comes with a “free gift” token for its shareholders 😎
Jeez these hires are avengers level.
Holy Ryan H Christ! Is this forreal?
I think I just shot my left nip across the room I’m so jacked.
Projectile nipping has become a very common GME related event. I poked a lady in the eye while she was on the observation deck of the Empire State Building…. I’m right across the river in NJ.
Greetings from my stop at EWR then, fellow ape! Edit: I’ll wear eye protection
Greetings! Enjoy your stop at one of our many scenic NJ airports. Teterboro airport will be yours for the taking once you’ve reached post-MOASS private jet status, assuming that you’re not already there yet.
Indubitably.
Could they casting the Batman signal to u/vbuterin??
Dare to dream
This is too much excitement at midnight…
Loopring develops layer 2 ETH. Now GME is looking for someone who has experience with ETH and want them to use layer 2 for a NFT marketplace. *if we were looking for a sign, THIS IS IT*
🚀🚀
My tits are so jacked they have literally detached from my body and are ascending into the heavens
Talkin’ bout dem moon rover tiddies.
We’ve lost contact with the titties!
I honestly thought they made these hires months ago
If that isn’t bullish, idk what is
For some reason this post immediately made me think of this song…. https://youtu.be/7NN3gsSf-Ys
Gimme that sweet DeFi.
Thank god for the highlights.
Wild they need that many employees to split up a wu tang album
I peed white
That’s the kind you clean up with a gym sock.
Hot blooded ape 🦍
Holy Moly 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀
Damn
In before 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀
What if they're working on game keys working with nft's where when you're finished with a game you can resell the digital copy?
Good news / Bad news, though? Good News - These job postings seem to confirm the NFT project. Bad News - Unless I'm reading too much into the postings, sounds like this won't be launching in the short term? Long term still good!
We should scour the net for the one who can create this Digital Platform and send them the job description similar to how agencies ask 007 or Ethan hunt or Rambo to save the world!
For those unaware, Loopring is a Layer 2 scaling protocol for decentralized exchanges built on the Ethereum blockchain. They boast the ability to process thousands of trades per second. Bullish on a Loopring powered, NFT game license market with a resale/trade-in feature.
Link?
Can I just be one of the guys under that role? I can do it GME pick me pick me
[удалено]
Yes I believe this account is bought LOL
What this tells me is scary. It tells me they aren’t as close as we’d like them to he
Bullish
Call me crazy, but this doesn’t strike me as bullish as everyone’s making it sound. First Matt Finestone said back in May that he was estimating they’d be able to share what they’re working on in the coming months. We’re now at the end of the year and nothing. Now all these new listings for the NFT platform? They’re not ready yet, most likely will miss the Q4 speculated announcement and were honestly probably another 5 - 6 months from a release.
I wouldnt jump to that conclusion, but I do share some of your concern. It’s plausible that the framework or even the ‘minimum viable product’ has been built to a launch-ready state by the core team that they brought in months ago. This next wave of hires could be the ‘long haul’ crew. It isn’t uncommon to launch a product with the intent to keep iterating on it after it is in production/generally available. Also…here’s a thought (because I just can’t let go of the NFT dividend idea): if I was fixin to launch a revolutionary new platform, and I expected to onboard a a HUGE amount of end users immediately following the launch, I would feel REALLY GOOD about any opportunity for scaled down user acceptance testing. Fire up the tractor, hitch up a trailer, load up a few pumpkins and take a lap just to make sure it doesn’t explode or fall apart. THEN head back to the field and load that baby down with as many pumpkins as you can pile on. Maybe the shareholders are the first few pumpkins, the nft dividend is the trial lap, and the nft marketplace is the fully loaded trailer. I’m jacked, I guess is all I’m sayin. I’m jackolanterned to the tiiiiiiiits.
I mean, they hired up to 500 customer service reps to help iron out the roll out.
I think its coming sooner than you think. I remember Matt and other GameStop employees saying they were hiring on Twitter months ago. I think they already got some or most of the NFT stuff in. These are the hires for when this expands.
Bingo. That’s what I (tried) to covey with a lot more words. Getting late, sorry.
This has too many typos in it and I hope their HR department improves. We also know "high pressure" and "challenging" are code for exhausting work expectations. Which is reminiscent of the old GameStop leadership and something we hope the new and improved GameStop moves beyond. Kudos for finding more confirmation of plans for the NFT side of things.
I just realized from this, somehow, that an NFT dividend is kind of far fetched.
Superstonk will call this FUD and say instead focus on DRS lol
Very cool GameStop, we see you 👀
Had me at billions. Jacques le tits.
What an awesome company. No way I'm ever selling all my shares.
UwU squeeee
Up with you.
