That's happening. I just tried to short GME and my brokerage gave me an error message that it was "hard-to-borrow" and no shares were available at this time, and to check back tomorrow.

That's what I figured might be the limiting factor. At some point, nobody wants to take the other end of the short, so it becomes impossible to short further.
