It should have been around $20, but was pushed well under. There's a video floating around he did late last year talking about the whole scenario and him pointing out it was probably shorted, and that he'd be putting stuff into it. Not a rare thing, other stuff like AMC and Blackberry float around that sub as 'obviously shorted stocks'. The difference and what made Gamestonks what it is is how much it was shorted.The kick-off event was one of the people from the hedge fund made this big video talking about how Gamestop was going to drop in value and was awful company you shouldn't invest in, and it was, well, a pretty blatent shorted stock and honestly, kind of verging on market manipulation. He's done this in the past, this person. Done a big video on why Company X is bad, its stocks subsequently drop, oops turns out they were shorted and now hedge fund gets the cash-money. Except, this time, it didn't work. Reddit's audience skews people who went to Gamestop a ton in their youths so, they weren't happy about being told Gamestop was basically going to die. DFV chose this moment to go "YOLO" and went all in, telling folks how blatently shorted the stocks were. Subsequently, other folks from WallstreetBets also went all in, whether through bad decision making or solidarity. And then the stocks started to rise as the hedge fund tried to buy the shorted stocks back. And then it kept rising. And then more people brought in. And here we are today.The hedge fund's bet got absolutely called by WSB and now the hedge funds are complaining their free money scheme got called on, meanwhile WSB are buying billboards with their newfound profits to rub it in as they hold, because even with the price going down from its crazy heights, its still bad enough they're going to end up probably bankrupting at least one hedge fund.While I've my problems with Elon, this is revenge. Tesla's stocks apparently got shorted by some hedge funds in the past, so he's basically revelling in their destruction at the moment. Anywho, as for 6E? I predict inbuilt stats will go, each race/lineage/whatever they'll be called will have a Thematic Ability that at least goes to the idea of what the stat would previously be. I also predict half-orcs will be replaced with just orcs, but I don't think goblins will sneak in</blockquote>
