Go Behind GameStop’s Wild Stock Ride With The Virtual Economy Podcast

January 25, 2021 by Chris Johnston

Wonder what the heck is up with GameSpot’s wild stock ride? You are not alone. Gaming business-focused podcast Virtual Economy does a great dive into the topic which involves a daytrader/Reddit war that at some point is sure to lose some folks a lot of money (the chat begins at 1:35:54). But before they land on that topic, hosts Michael and Amanda cover a recent slate of acquisitions and studio investments, and Microsoft’s Xbox Live Gold pricing changes (and the reversal of those changes).

The Virtual Economy podcast is a year-ish old and is a very worthwhile sub if your interests lean into the more business side of the games industry. Hosts Michael and Amanda also run gaming industry consulting firm F-Squared.
