GameStop has postponed its annual shareholders meeting indefinitely due to a server crash caused by a large turnout. This was compounded by rumors that famous investor and influencer Keith Gill, also known as <a href="https://coingape.com/news/stocks/gamestop-stock-rallies-ahead-shareholder-meet-will-roaring-kitty-attend-event/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Roaring Kitty</a>, could be named to the board. The technical challenges emerged when the company’s share price was volatile and increased 12% on the scheduled meeting day.

As shareholders prepared to vote on the election of five directors, the surge in online attendees overwhelmed the hosting service’s capabilities. The official stream provider, Computer Share, confirmed to <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/06/13/gamestop-annual-shareholder-meeting-2024-servers-crash.html" target="_blank">CNBC</a> that their systems could not handle the demand, leading to a crash.
This left thousands of people needing a way of getting into the meeting, which was closed after just 50 minutes of holding music.
<blockquote>
 ”We are in the process of addressing this problem and will post information on the status of the issue as soon as possible,” said a representative of <a href="https://coingape.com/news/stocks/gamestop-gme-stock-price-braces-for-fall-as-75m-shares-selloff-looms/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">GameStop</a>. 
</blockquote>
During this time, numerous viewers and investors shifted their focus to other platforms, including Twitch, YouTube, and Discord, where people tried to stream the meeting.
Nonetheless, <a href="https://coingape.com/tag/gamestop-price/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">GameStop stock</a> held firm and ended the day only a few cents shy of 12% to trade at $28.40. Some shareholders complained they had to waste time, while others welcomed the high turnout that led to the server crash. “It is a clear indication of the strength of the community that much interest can even affect our servers,” said one of the shareholders who preferred not to be named.

Interest in Keith Gill as a potential member of Gamehost’s board has not waned since he suggested that he owns a significant stake in the company. Gill has been in the limelight, especially after the 2021 GameStop short squeeze, and is popular among the GameStop community.
His recent social media activity, such as sharing obscure movie quotes and posting about his prominent position in GameStop, has only raised more questions about his plans. Although <a href="https://coingape.com/markets/gamestop-price-prediction-gme-price-soars-124-as-roaring-kitty-plans-livestream/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Keith Gill</a> has not made any public declarations of interest in joining the board, he is felt among the shareholders. Another investor commented, 
<blockquote>
 “Keith has been an important player in the history of GameStop; his board membership may be a turning point.”
</blockquote>
The rescheduled date for the annual meeting remains undisclosed, leaving shareholders and fans in suspense about the future composition of GameStop’s board and the strategic direction the company will take. Meanwhile, GameStop remains at the center of retail trading discussions, with Roaring Kitty continuing to be a significant draw for media and investor attention.
