While I doubt that any of their part-time employees will be affected that bad, if they're anything like GameStop then they have a league of disenfranchised store managers who gave up on having a life so that they could make safe money. Those are the people I feel the worse for.
This wouldn't bother me that much except they very recently bought Gameplay.com where I made all my preorders.
Eh.
They should kill the GAME brand and relaunch with only Gamestation - Gamestation was always better anyway.
...and my local Gamestation has a hotty working there....

It sucks but it doesn't bother me. If I want to buy a game then there's better places to do it. Still, it's pretty bad that 10,000 people will be out of a job.
oooooooh, I wonder if they're gonna be flogging any Rockband Guitars cheap?! - I could do with another....
I'm not going to miss GAME specifically, but my local Gamestation was the best store going, very friendly staff, such a shame they are losing their jobs. The really sad thing is some of them aren't aware they are losing their jobs.
Honestly, they could have done with a better fire sale. I knew they already made their choice, but they should have done more than to knock off £5 on their recent stuff and sell the obscure shovelware at £2. They really went all out with the trade-in front, but the rest was taking the piss, all things considered.
I feel sorry for the people working there but that place was always shit back when I was living in the UK. I'd always go to someone local or amazon for my fix.
I work at a Gamestation and have done for 7 years. 7 years I dedicated to the company and now it's all coming to an end. 7 years of joyfully turning down 18 rated products to the underage. 7 years of talking to bros (and sis's) about favorite game franchises and ps3 versus 360 arguments (oh the trolling, I have both). 7 years of getting cool gaming promos, opening a box to find a t-shirt or figure. 7 years. It's been my best times in retail, worked with some of the best people in the country, and had the most fun you can have while working. Gamestation. Gone, but never forgotten.
Testament to GAME's highly trained and aware staff....
"Hi, I'm after Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus for the Vita, do you guys have that?"
"Let me check"
"Well, it's not been added to the system yet, but it doesn't come out till Friday anyway so check back tomorrow"
"It's already out, it's been out nearly a month"
*hangs up

@sexycoco you get dumbass fucks in all walks of life.......not just game look at uk newspapers the Sun or Mail or current MP's....now they're stupid.....
Always hated Game so I'm glad it's on the way into it's coffin. I'm wiht Sexualchocolate, Gamestation has always been the cooler of the two companies.
Game's gone pretty downhill but it was a store where gamers could at least feel welcome.
Now it's just supermarkets that stock games close to DVDs and clothes.
The highstreet is now less and less worth visiting.

Okay, so what I don't get about this is that everytime GAME comes up everying agrees GameStation is a better store/chain.. So why would they be so stupid as to drop that instead of simply dropping GAME? Yeah, they're the same company, but one seems to have the better name/rep over the other.
It's true Gamestation was always better for some weird reason. Our small town had both and Games staff looked like mobile phone salesman- normal no offence but I'm not buying milk, I want discourse. Our Gamestation is staffed by a mixture of goths, more rotund people and general geeks- you could tell where the actual gamers worked. It seemed Game group must have crunched the numbers properly because they shut down the Game and kept the Gamestation, though Gamestations prices seem to have shot up to what Games were. Games storefront is a model of what marketing people think a store should look like too, it fucking gives me a headache.
