GameStop Makes $55.5 Billion Bid To Acquire eBay - IGN Daily Fix

GameStop has offered $55.5 billion to acquire eBay, with CEO Ryan Cohen aiming to make eBay a strong Amazon competitor. The deal would be funded by GameStop's cash and up to $20 billion in debt financing from TD Securities. GameStop plans to cut $2 billion in annualized costs within 12 months and integrate eBay's business into its 1600 US retail locations for authentication, fulfillment, and live commerce. Cohen, who would forgo salary and bonuses, stated he'd approach shareholders directly if eBay rejects the offer. This move follows GameStop's recent store closures and attempts to diversify revenue after exiting crypto and NFTs. Capcom views the negative reaction to the DLSS 5 AI version of Grace Ashcraft in Resident Evil Requiem as positive, confirming fans preferred her original design. Producer Masado Kumazawa noted this proved they "got the design right" initially. Meanwhile, a modder has restored the beloved merchant character to Resident Evil Requiem, replacing the supply box in Leon's sections. The mod, by Nexus Mods user Fantique, currently features limited voice lines but aims for more dialogue and animations, pulling the character model from the Resident Evil 4 remake.
