GameStop Announces Shocking Buyout Offer For eBay To Create "Legit Competitor To Amazon"
The latest chapter in video game retailer GameStop's tumultuous story is unfolding, as the company has announced plans to make a deal to buy eBay for $55.5 billion.
GameStop said in a news release that it submitted a "non-binding proposal" to buy 100% of eBay at $125 per share in cash and stock, at 50% each. This would be about a 20% premium over where eBay's stock was trading on Friday and a 46% premium to eBay's closing price on February 4 this year. That was the day that GameStop started buying eBay stock. Today, it owns about 5% of eBay's outstanding stock.

Resident Evil 6 didn't go over very well with players when it was released in 2012, but director Zach Cregger and production designer Tom Hammock apparently saw something in the game worth revisiting while creating the upcoming Resident Evil reboot film.
During a set visit attended by GamesRadar, Hammock noted that creatures from Resident Evil 6 will appear in the film. He also added that the team pulled some inspiration from Resident Evil 4 as well.
"You'll see a lot of Resident Evil 4, Resident Evil 6," said Hammock. "Zach and I went through and pulled specific creature elements that we like from the games, whether it's tentacles, the teeth integration, and then tried to take that language and move it over to these creatures."
