The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Please also avoid duplicates.
Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, ableist, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

Imagine if I offered Dua Lipa 500 quid to have sex. She doesn't need the money, she's doing fine in the bedroom, and I don't have that much money to spend. We can't try to sweeten the deal by saying I'm a good lay. Even if we're not being self-deprecating, we both know I'd be getting the better end of the deal here. She would be insulted I even asked.
That's what's going on. eBay is doing perfectly fine without a physical storefront, and GameStop isn't a catch. GameStop made an unsolicited offer, and doesn't have enough to actually pay it. This is an insult of an offer.
