| NotStan said: That's funny, the guy at GAME the other day - like yesterday actually was assuring the customer that GAME will be there for a long time, "They've said that we're going under 8 months ago.. and well, we're still here, so don't worry" those were his exact words, ironic that it's official that they're closing less than 24 hours later. |
Same thing happened to me the day after I found out they weren't going to stock Mass Effect 3. Went in the cash-in a £25 gift voucher and after commenting that I was doing it before they went bust, he said due to Game's position in the market, GAME not stocking Mass Effect 3 was more likely to cause EA to go bankrupt.
A few weeks later I went back to cash in my last few loyalty points (by now the company was about a week or 2 from administration). Coincidentally, he served me again and I was tempted to ask him if he still thought it was EA who were more likely to go broke (especially after all of GAME's pre-oreders went straight to other stores and Mass Effect 3 had before first week sales than the first two games combined). I resisted the urge as I didn't feel in the mood for provoking a pointless arguement.
