Nah Game were no fan of the Green. They wanted to make this place some kind of ghastly purple and grey affair.
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/BarrysWorldI must not know my history, why is this bad and/or funny?
I think the end of the article points out the current situation GAME are in. PC is dominated by Steam, and anything sold in a box is competing against Amazon and all the other online retailers.
I'm not sure how I feel about this though. Multiplay is a sustainable business(?), but does it really have much of an eSports or competitive gaming presence outside of the i-series events? I guess there's still plenty of opportunity for growth - look at ESL running larger events with an insane number of people watching online also.
Just as long as they don't turn it into something unsustainable.
Spit. Spit. Spit.
In all honesty, this. I hope they took everything in cash. Met a rake of the Multiplay guys way back when I was doing GamesDomain stuff and they were all thoroughly decent sorts.Back on topic, I hope Multiplay actually get their 20m; they've run their business pretty astutely over the last 10-12 years and I'd hate see them get burned if and when GAME goes tits (again)

I think the owners of Game'll be making a pretty penny either way. Phoenix companies...
And that's the business plan.Everyone knows they will be bust again shortly. We know it, they know it.
Only go in there to see if the second hand games are worth it. Tbh I get my ps4 games from the supermarket if I want them cause they give nectar points heheI don't know why they bother to speculate. Everyone knows they will be bust again shortly. We know it, they know it. The single reason it didn't happen shortly after they rose from the ashes was because new hardware was released, now that teat has dried up, they are fucked again.
They are a strikingly irrelevant company that still thinks it is the year 2000. When was the last time anyone bought a game, from game?
