GAME Dun Goof'd


Submitted by UnashamedVandal; March 22, 2012


GAME Groups recent struggle with finances have been a sad sight for gamers everywhere, now the situation has now turned from bad to worse... The term Ya Dun Goofd was started by a viral YouTube video in recent years, and the phrase is now thrown around by people that have made somewhat stupid errors or mistakes. Well, when it comes to errors, I would suggest this is a pretty damn big one. UK retailer GAME Group has been struggling recently with finances, I know this because Ive picked up shit loads of cheap games as a result. However no amount of sales could seem to save them, as they have now filed for administration. This news came after the UKs biggest gaming retailers delisted themselves from the London stock exchange. Few offers have come by to suggest new ownership of the company but unsurprisingly, Walmart are favourites to take control. GAMEs huge price drops as of late have been completely in vain because without the support of Nintendo, EA, Sega, Capcom, Tecmo Koei, Microsoft and Activision, they had no chance of offering a lot of new titles and buyers simply went elsewhere. Let me know your thoughts.

Will this affect their stores here in Australia? because they are like THE leading console/games store in this Country...well them and EBGames! Hope this wont shut them down over here, they have some pretty good deals from time to time when i live, i sure wouldnt like to be forced to shop at EBGames....they overcharge and rip you off with their pathetic low as hell trade values on games and consoles! Wanna trade your 320gb PS3 Slim to EBGames? they would have the balls to offer you 50 bhux for it LOL.

 

Please for the love of god GAME, stay in business, i dont want to be forced to shop at EBGames!
