GameStop was getting a lot of backlash for allowing one of it's creators to sell a NFT titled falling man which showed an astronaut falling and was a reference to one of the most iconic photos from 9/11 terrorist attacks.
The company probably received the backlash because of how the marketplace operates.
“This one probably fell from the MIR station,” says the NFT’s description, referencing Russia’s decommissioned space station. The artwork’s creator is selling two different versions of “Falling Man,” with the cheapest listed at 0.65 Ethereum or about $990. As Web3 is Going Great points out, GameStop operates a curated NFT marketplace. Artists must apply and pass a vetting process before they can list their tokens for sale. The company takes a 2.25 percent cut of sales.
The Falling Man NFT is no longer listed on GameStop's marketplace. In a direct message to one individual, the company said it was taking action against the creator of the NFT. "This NFT will be removed from our marketplace entirely," the company said. "This user has already had their minting ability removed from their account, and we have already been in direct contact with the creator about these actions."
