Think they'd consider selling us the old domain names yet?

£10?

The retail network was always going to shrink.

Can't trade in a download, so what use is Game?

I do actually feel bad for them. I really do. However, I see this all the time and it makes me scream:

It seems like the company only cares about profit and not its employees.

I mean, anyone who thinks it's the other way round needs to be de-selected from the gene pool.

It's up there with "I've a problem at work, so I'm off to talk to HR". Who do you think HR works for?

Anyway. Yeah. What @Raven and @Wij said.

Anyway, hope everything is well for those still there.

Bring back Jolt.

Quite frankly I'm surprised they didn't implode years ago, also no one needs such a job when there are plenty of jobs out there with at least some regular work and paid more no doubt.

They did, this is the second go around

They did, this is the second go around

I meant permanently.

Only a matter of time. In Ireland GameStop exited last year so Smyths Toys is now the only retailer selling games in stores. It's actually taken longer than I thought but physical media will be gone by 2030.

Alright then, Blueyonder. Bring them back.
