    I thought they went bankrupt 10 years ago. Certainly haven’t seen one in a long time.

      They’re inside Sports Directs, my local one has a GAME shop at the back of the store now

        Not really a great place for them to be. I never go into Sports Direct because they’re dodgy as hell (seriously if you’ve been shopping there make sure you don’t have unexpected charges on your account because they love to add things they don’t tell you about). So I’d never know that Game was in there.

        To be honest Game has basically being irrelevant for years now. They have terrible customer service, they cannot order stuff in so you just have to go in and find out if they have something which is a waste of time, they never have any deals that are any better than you can get in any other businesses, they never do any events to make themselves relevant.

        They are a brick and mortar store in the world where everyone does digital downloads. They could make that work but they’d have to add something extra to the experience, and they just don’t.
