Cohen Says He Isn’t Passionate About GameStop, Eyes eBay Takeover

GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen says he wasn’t passionate about GameStop and is pursuing a bid to take over eBay, proposing a mix of cash and stock but lacking the cash to fund a roughly $56 billion offer with only about $9.4 billion in assets. He’s begun selling GameStop memorabilia on eBay to raise funds, but the plan faces uphill odds as eBay remains healthy while GameStop continues to struggle with store closures and shrinking international operations.
