GameStop remains as controversial then as it is now. Most recently, GameStop employees found themselves confused as a handful of pre-orders of the most expensive edition of the RE4 Remake were canceled for apparently no reason. GameStop is also technically still bleeding with no signs of improving, so there's that.

If you're curious to find out how the GameStop fiasco happened, the situation wasn't as complicated as you'd think. Those behind the entire thing just found a way to beat hedge funds at their own game.

How did they do this? They looked at the price of the GameStop stock and found that it was extremely undervalued as if by design. Then, they found out that they could cost several hedge funds millions of dollars by driving up the stock price. One of the ways hedge funds make money is by borrowing stocks at a high price and returning them after they've repurchased the same stock at a lower price at a later time. So, when GameStop stock started selling for more, the hedge funds had no choice but to buy the same stocks they borrowed for a higher price than they initally sold them for, creating a pseudo-bullish market.

Ultimately, when the guys who bought GameStop stock at a lower price succeeded in driving it up, they made a killing. As for those who joined late, they found themselves making less money than they put in.
