    I mean they MAY have cash on hand but looking at revenue is different. I may have 100k in the bank but if I’m unemployed and have no income that won’t last long. They need a source of income and with most game purchases going online that won’t work so they need something else.

    Ebay is probably too big of a target for them though…

      They’ve posted several back to back profitable quarters if I’m not mistaken.

        Really? Not just stock price goes up but actual profit? I know they went into funko pops and such but surprised that can cover the cost of their stores and land…

          Unless I’m reading this chart wrong, yeah:

            Interesting, seems to be very volitile but still looks overall profitable. I’m surprised, thanks for the information.
