GameStop’s new NFT Marketplace was supposed to be a turning point in the company’s ongoing digital transformation. The launch came on the heels of the GameStop crypto and NFT non-custodial wallet earlier this year. But with the ongoing crypto winter, NFT sales have seen a major pullback as of late. Over the weekend, it was reported that GameStop saw its worst day of revenues yet since the marketplace opened for business. For the entire weekend, the marketplace brought in a total of less than $4700 in profit for the company.
