The Great Squeeze 🚀 | Play the GME Legend

THE LEGEND

The Story That Changed Wall Street Forever

In January 2021, a group of retail investors on Reddit's r/WallStreetBets discovered something extraordinary: hedge funds had short-sold GameStop ($GME) stock to over 140% of available shares.

Armed with nothing but diamond hands, meme energy, and a burning desire to fight back against the suits, everyday investors bought in — driving the price from $5 up to a legendary $483 per share.

Hedge funds lost billions. Brokerage apps froze. Financial TV hosts melted down on live television. But the apes? They held.

This is that story — pixelated, side-scrolling, and glorious.

THE CHRONICLE

A Timeline of the Squeeze

Every level in The Great Squeeze is rooted in real history. Here's how the legend unfolded.

Sep 2019 – Dec 2020

THE SETUP

Hedge funds pile into massive short positions on GameStop, betting the retail chain is headed for bankruptcy. Short interest climbs past 100% — more shares sold short than actually exist. The stage is set.

Jan 11, 2021

ROARING KITTY LIGHTS THE FUSE

Keith Gill (u/DeepFuckingValue, aka Roaring Kitty) has been publicly posting his GME thesis since 2019. On Jan 11, Ryan Cohen joins the GameStop board — the bulls have a catalyst. WSB goes supernova.

Jan 22–25, 2021

THE ROCKET LAUNCHES

GME surges from ~$40 to over $75 as retail buying overwhelms short sellers. r/WallStreetBets grows by 800,000 subscribers in 48 hours. The world is watching.

Jan 27, 2021

TO THE MOON – ALL-TIME HIGH

GME reaches an intraday peak of $483 per share. Hedge fund Melvin Capital requires a $2.75 billion emergency bailout. CNBC anchors visibly lose composure on live TV. Tendies everywhere.

Jan 28, 2021

THE BROKERS BETRAY

Robinhood, TD Ameritrade, and others halt buy orders on GME and other meme stocks. Retail investors are furious. Congress takes notice. The apes hold anyway.

2021 – Present

THE LEGACY

The short squeeze proved that retail investors, acting collectively, could move markets. Congressional hearings. New regulations. Roaring Kitty returns years later. The legend lives on — and now, so does the game.
