GameStop-CEO soll Sammlerstücke aus dem Game-Informer-Archiv auf eBay verkauft haben

7. Mai 2026

Von KI berichtet

Die eBay-Auktionen von Ryan Cohen, mit denen ein Gebot für den Marktplatz selbst finanziert werden sollte, haben Vorwürfe aufkommen lassen, dass einige der Sammlerstücke aus dem ehemaligen Archiv von Game Informer stammen.

Am 6. Mai veröffentlichte Cohen Links zu den Angeboten, darunter originalverpackte Retro-Spiele, Statuen, eine GameStop-Kappe, ein Stück Laden-Teppichboden und weitere Erinnerungsstücke, die jeweils mit einem unterschriebenen Exemplar seines Übernahmeangebots versehen waren. Frank Cifaldi, Gründer der Video Game History Foundation, behauptete auf Bluesky, dass mehrere der Artikel aus dem legendären Game-Informer-Archiv zu stammen scheinen, das jahrzehntelange Videospielgeschichte beherbergte, bevor GameStop die Publikation im Jahr 2024 einstellte.
