Ryan Cohen氏がマーケットプレイスの買収資金調達を目的として行ったeBayでのコレクション競売について、一部の出品物がかつてのGame Informerの保管品から持ち出されたものではないかとの疑いが浮上している。
5月6日、Cohen氏は自身の出品リストへのリンクを投稿した。そこには未開封のレトロゲームやフィギュア、GameStopの帽子、店舗のカーペット、その他の記念品が含まれており、それぞれに彼の買収提案書の署名入りコピーが添えられていた。Video Game History Foundationの創設者であるFrank Cifaldi氏は、自身のBlueskyアカウントで、複数の出品物が伝説的なGame Informerの保管庫から持ち出されたもののように見えると指摘した。同保管庫には何十年分ものビデオゲームの歴史が収蔵されていたが、GameStopは2024年に同誌を廃刊している。
