Goodbye GAME?


Submitted by UnashamedVandal; March 26, 2012
It was sad when GAME were struggling, now it is more than just worries for them... Today GAME Group announced it is now pretty much over for them and that shit hadnt just simply hit the fan, its hit it again and again. After fighting and fighting to stay alive with huge price cuts, GAME eventually hit the bottom, which means Gamestation are going with them as well. GAME are or should I say were the United Kingdoms biggest gaming retail group, however now they are circling the drain and it looks like there is no escape. With no official offers to buy the company, regardless of rumours about a possible take over, today GAME Group made the decision to shut down 277 U.K stores which resulted in 2,100 job losses. This choice was made in hope that the 300 remaining stores could be saved, however without the possibility to stack a variety of new titles, will that even be vaguely possible? Let me know your thoughts.

They didnt boycott the games. EA refused to sell them any because Game owed them too much money already
