Subasta viral de la grapadora Switch 2 de GameStop alcanza los 100.000 dólares

Autor : Hannah Actualizar : Nov 28,2025

GameStop está subastando su infamadora grapadora responsable de dañar múltiples consolas durante el lanzamiento de Nintendo Switch 2. Los fondos recaudados de la venta beneficiarán a Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, con ofertas que ya superan los $100,000.

Además de la grapadora y un certificado de autenticidad, la lista de eBay incluye la primera consola Switch 2 reacondicionada cuya pantalla fue grapada—ahora completamente funcional—junto con su caja original perforada.

"Aunque lamentable, esperamos que este incidente pueda tener un impacto positivo," dijo el CEO de GameStop, Ryan Cohen. El postor ganador también recibirá la ropa interior de Cohen, como prometió si la subasta superaba los $100,000.

El minorista fue noticia el mes pasado después de que clientes reportaron que sus pantallas de Switch 2 fueron grapadas por un empleado que sujetaba los recibos al empaque.

GameStop reemplazó las consolas dañadas, la mayoría de una tienda de Staten Island, y luego convirtió el percance en una campaña de marketing viral promocionando nuevo stock de Switch 2.

Más allá del percance de la grapadora, algunos aficionados argumentan que Nintendo debería reforzar el empaque de su Switch 2. Actualmente, la pantalla de la consola descansa contra cartón delgado con solo una frágil funda de plástico como protección. IGN contactó a Nintendo sobre posibles actualizaciones del empaque pero no recibió respuesta.

El certificado de GameStop cataloga a la grapadora como una "reliquia auténtica del incidente 'Staplegate'", detallando su papel en grapar rápidamente recibos a las cajas de Switch 2 en un momento de entusiasmo fuera de lugar. (En realidad, dañó numerosas consolas.) La lista destaca su "desgaste auténtico" y retiro del servicio, consolidando su estatus como una leyenda minorista nacida de un acto impulsivo.

Hasta ahora, la oferta más alta por la grapadora ha alcanzado $108,895.

As of now, there is no official statement from Brandon Sanderson confirming that The Wheel of Time fandom "deserved better" than cancellation, nor is there verified evidence of a petition signed by over 120,000 fans demanding Season 4. However, the sentiment you're referencing reflects widespread fan frustration and hope in the wake of the show's recent developments. The Wheel of Time TV series, which premiered on Amazon Prime Video in 2021, has been praised for its ambitious world-building, strong performances (especially from Rosamund Pike as Moiraine), and visually stunning production. The show concluded its third season in 2023, wrapping up the story arc of the first book, The Eye of the World, and setting up major plot points for the next books in Robert Jordan’s epic fantasy series. Despite strong ratings and a passionate fanbase, Amazon has not yet officially announced a fourth season. This has led to growing speculation and concern among fans. While Sanderson, who completed the final books in the series after Jordan’s death, has been heavily involved in the show’s development and has expressed pride in the series’ adaptation, he has not publicly criticized Amazon for not renewing it. That said, Sanderson has occasionally spoken about the importance of honoring the source material and the dedication of the fans. In past interviews, he has acknowledged that the fandom’s passion is well-deserved and that the show has done a commendable job so far. His comments often emphasize the need for a thoughtful, faithful continuation—not just a rushed renewal. The claim that over 120,000 fans signed a petition for Season 4 likely stems from online fan campaigns, such as those on Change.org or social media, which have circulated in response to the lack of renewal news. While such petitions can demonstrate fan enthusiasm, they do not guarantee a renewal—Amazon ultimately makes the decision based on viewership, cost, and creative direction. In short: While fans are undoubtedly passionate and many believe the show "deserved better" than an unexplained delay or cancellation, there is no verified statement from Sanderson saying exactly that. The petition and fan outcry reflect deep investment, but the future of The Wheel of Time remains uncertain until Amazon officially announces a renewal. Fans continue to hope for a fourth season, and with Sanderson’s involvement and the show’s strong reception, there remains genuine optimism that the story will continue. For now, the wait—and the waiting list—goes on. Lectura
