Gamestop knows they serve no purpose in the gaming world anymore. What's the point of buying physical, when it's just a disc with the game version 1.0, and manditory day 1 updates? It makes it essentially a digital download with ewaste.
Ebay on the other hand has a future still existing.
Right now gamestop is a glorified novelty shop with a video games and pop culture theme. They know that business plan won't last.
Ebay on the other hand, I can't see any reason why they would be interested in anyway in this lowball offer.
I just want to point out that the offer isn’t lowball. The EBay board is still selling all their shares and GameStop is currently buying eBay shares on the open market at $105-$110 when the offer was for $125.
