That's pretty messed up.
O.o
That's bad news.
Cheap pieces of crap to the very end?
wow they have have downsized considerably soon they will fade and they aren't even trying to give good customer support they wont be remembered
Not sure of Australian law, but I believe in most places, that when a company goes in to Administration all assets are frozen.
This means they can't give the money back even if they wanted to.
Individuals who have given money to GAME will need to get added to a list of people owed money. This should be announced in due course if a rescue deal can not be put together,
The worst case is that the Administrators have to sell off all the GAME assets to raise money to pay people back - why this is unfortunate is because normally those owed the biggest amount of money are paid first (i.e those company's who have sold stock to GAME and are awaiting invoices to be paid etc); also, it can take a long time to sort out.
So considering that there is likely to be a shortfall between how much the Administrators can get for the GAME assets, and the total amount of money owed to people, there's a chance that the 'little guys' may never see a penny back.
