โGameStop is well positioned, in my opinion, to be able to capitalize on that they have hundreds of millions of people that play video games that least recognize GameStop as a credible brand.โ
The GameStop marketplace will provide virtual video game products such as in-game character cosmetics and weapons. According to a WSJ report, the company has built a small but strong team of 20 blockchain specialists to create the marketplace.
The company is calling all NFT creators to joinย the NFT marketplace.
