OK, great, they've maybe backed off of the iceberg that was sinking them, I guess through cost-cutting and layoffs. Good for them.

That doesn't mean it's a reasonable idea for GME to buy a company with ten times their revenue and five times their market cap, that hasn't been declining every year for a decade. This is a ridiculous stunt by a ridiculous CEO, and shouldn't be taken seriously. If somehow all the grownups did allow such a merger and the insane leverage that would be required, it would sink both companies.
