Author: Sheridan Media May 6, 2026 Duration: 1:02:19

Welcome to Active Reload! This week, James, Grant, and Steve discuss GameStop offering to buy eBay for 55.5 billion dollars! What are GameStop's plans to transition the company, and are they trying to become the next Amazon?

Also, the Steam Controller 2 is already out of stock via most major retailers and scalpers are selling it at a 250-300% higher price. How can we stop the scalper problem and is anything worth that sort of up charge?
