How GAME’s Troubles Affect You

IGN:

This morning, after years of declining revenues and months of struggles with suppliers and financers culminating in a failure to stock new titles including Mass Effect 3 for weeks now, the UK's largest games retailer froze its shares on the London Stock Exchange. Hours later, it announced that it was filing for administration, meaning that the chain's future is now very uncertain. Ultimately an administration firm's aim is to keep a company trading – but closures and the sale of assets are often a part of that process. There's no knowing now what form the GAME chain would take, should it survive – and Gamestation, which GAME Group also owns, also faces an uncertain future.
