MINNEAPOLIS — In a shocking development, defunct gaming publication Game Informer is being brought back after GameStop traded it in to Gunzilla Games for $3 worth of credit.
“It was just collecting dust so we figured we may as well trade it in and put whatever we get towards buying something else to ruin,” said GameStop CFO Thomas Levendale. “I was honestly shocked at how much we got for it. I mean what kind of sucker gives three full dollars of credit for someone’s used product? I’m not complaining though, now we have $3 credit to get whatever we want. Dobson in sales suggested we use the credit to fund improvements to our customer experience and he was promptly fired.”
Matthias Price, a spokesperson for Gunzilla Games spoke to reporters about the deal.
“We’re very happy to have Game Informer back up and running under our watch. GameStop came to us looking to trade it in and we gave them a perfectly good deal. I mean we have to make shelf space for it, and try to sell copies so $3 was more than fair. We’re going to make much more money now than we would have if we had given them something close to the real value.”
When asked if the company’s interest in NFTs and the blockchain would eventually affect Game Informer, Price immediately left.
GameStop customers are excited over what the company can do with their newfound wealth.
“This is such a big opportunity for them,” said frequent GameStop customer Jeff Hawkins. “Not many people get three whole dollars of trade credit, they have enough to completely transform the store. Maybe now they even have the budget to get those space wasting video games out of there. They can put so many more Funko Pops and other nick nacks on the shelves now.
At press time, GameStop reportedly used their newfound credit to stock an extra pair of socks no one will ever buy.
