The differences between GameStop and Blockbuster are huge. Blockbuster had billions in debt, and no way to pay their bills. GameStop has lots of cash, no debt, improving cash flow due to store closures of unprofitable locations, and a modern thinking Ryan Cohen at the helm. You're comparing apples and oranges, or more like, comparing a basket of apples to a single dried up prune.  $GameStop(GME)$
