Our previous article showed another yearly loss for Square Enix and while some don’t think it is a big deal‚ they are in for a rude awakening. Square Enix Reaching Rock Bottom‚ is predicted as some to have ” begun “‚ trending on twitter is a lot of hate that their main focus is switching to smartphone‚ tablet and devices rather than sticking to creating quality games that fans want to see. Square-Enix sent out a statement when their financial loss was posted‚ their response was both humorous and something us‚ Square Enix fans do not want to hear.
"As part of the integration of GAME, we will be phasing out the trade-in, pre-owned and Game Elite offerings in the UK over the coming months," a spokesperson for the chain's owner Frasers Group told BBC News"
Seems like a blizzar move here. It's the second hand market they thrived upon.
If I'm not mistaken game are owned by the same company who own GameStop in the US?
Whaaaa
Gamestation is gone
Grainger Games is gone
CEX is shit
Jesus. The only reason we use GAME is because there’s nobody else and they get away with this shit.
eBay does well on second hand games, always works for me, always get more than I would have done trade in .
which if effectively a double con, as with a trade in you are normally offered a fair market price, on the reasoning, you are in-affect promising to buy the future product form the same retailer.
Were people even doing this these days? They offer awful amounts. The best way is to ebay or gumtree. Day ones games are generally getting 90% of my money back after I'm done with them
A high street store can not compete with online. Game prices are £59.99 for a new release. Go with many of the online stores and those games are £44.99-49.99 for day one.
The fact game charge you £5 more to collect in-store compared to their own online shop is a joke. The excuse was on the lines "it's our stocking fee."
I stopped using game around 5 or more years back. I'd pop in looking for a real bargain, but rarely find anything.
I'm not surprised they're going out of business, they could not get with the times and they definitely could not compete with online when greed was the forefront.

There losses indicate that they are slumping but they are far from rock bottom.
Hopefully the new CEO will refocus the company. Make sure Eidos is doing what Eidos does best and really appeal to western gamers.
SE needs to go back to its roots and make that classic rpg experience which appeals to Japan cause thats what made it appeal to RPG lovers around the world. Also stop milking FF theres so many spin offs and continuation on main ff itterations.
Its FINAL fantasy the story shouldn't continue.
Final get some versus info going, port Agito and last but not least get me some KH 3 info!!!
If you smell!
I think square mistakenly think they can sell smartphone games at PSN/xboxarcade prices.
But I think they will be ok looking at there tech demo's for next gen
We would require James Cameron in his submarine to determine just how low Square Enix has sunk.
