GameStop CEO Accused Of Auctioning Off History From The Game Informer Vault As Part Of His eBay Acquisition Stunt

Ryan Cohen drew backlash after eBay listings tied to his account appeared to include rare items from the former Game Informer Vault.

He said he was selling items to help finance a proposed $56 billion bid for eBay, but former Game Informer staff and observers said some listings matched archival artifacts.

Video Game History Foundation founder Frank Cifaldi publicly accused Cohen of offloading video game history, and sources told Kotaku several sealed retro games likely came from the vault.

Cohen later said eBay suspended his account, while GameStop did not comment.
