GameStop's chief executive, Ryan Cohen, is reportedly considering withdrawing the company's US$56 billion offer for eBay, made in May. Instead, he might propose a partnership or joint venture, leveraging GameStop's roughly 1,600 US retail locations. GameStop, now eBay's second-largest shareholder with 9.75%, would also seek a board seat.
