Gustaf Håkansson of Sector Insight contacted us with a crazy game request
- 'I'd like Tesla cars for obstacles, the collectibles should be cola bottles and the main character should look like the Stonks meme sitting on a rocket. Instead of water he is "swimming" in the atmosphere and jumps for cash instead of stars in space. Ugly and crazy! A scoreboard would also be much appreciated.'
Gamestonks capitalised on the The GameStop (GME) eruption that was portrayed as the product of wildly irrational investor behavior – a “frenzy,” a “speculative orgy”.
During the development process we pushed Gustaf's ideas a little further, addingin more an 80's retro feel and mash-up of the space pop tart cat with the with Stonks head.
'Don’t be tempted and crash Stonks into electric vehicles while high in space.
Safe diabetes producing soda stocks á la Buffet yield returns.
(Buffet’s Amazon Ayahuasca retreat epiphany of style drifting into the company namesake cannot be copied by mere mortals).
Can you keep Mr. Stonks within his circle of value investing competence longer than your fellow index underperforming friends!?'
One day we'll crack the code and ge to see the glorious world Gustaf inhabits.
