Some firms targeted by followers of Reddit’s WallStreetBets forum are grappling with business difficultiesUpdated Jan. 31, 2021 5:19 pm ET

The company has been stung by mounting competition from retail giants such as Amazon.com Inc. and Walmart Inc., and the advancement of technology that enables people to download games directly from consoles and computers instead of buying hard copies.
