As many of you are aware. GAME the UK supplier have been having stocking problems due to a loss around Christmas last year. (this could be wrongs so feel free to correct me) and now this has happened:

and then this:

So what do you guys think?
Update: Mario Party 9 will not be stocked either.
What does GAME's future hold?

I think your suggestion is the most likely.Killer French Bread wrote:Maybe they'll go into receivership and the creditors will sell of the profitable shops to either a rival like gamestop or some venture capitalist company.
Although there is the off chance that they might bounce back.
Either way, I'd hate to be Ian Shepherd right now.
I hope its bad for them whatever it is
Maybe if they actually sold games at a reasonable price this wouldn't happen, why would people pay £40 for a 3 month old game when super markets were selling it at £27? (Skyrim , Mw3) Hell they were still charging £18 for a used copy of COD MW2 and thats what? 3 years old now
Not to mention now with facebook "sell it in your local area" groups & ebay becoming bigger & bigger allowing people to get about a lot more money for their games/consoles than they would in GAME etc
I can see Gamestation following suit as they're just as bad (aren't they owned by the same company after all)

I like how Wolverhampton has 2 GAME stores less than 50 meters apart on the same stretch of town, and the one was refurbished just before X-mas aswell
