Bad news, considering Game and Gamestation are already every bit the soulless misery holes that Gamestop is made out to be.

We don't need another chain to gouge us and pester us about buying strategy guides.

Brick and mortar retailers are obsolete for games, as far as I'm concerned. Unless I happened to be walking past one when an impulse purchase mood struck me, why would I bother? The likes of Amazon and Play typically charge £5-10 less, have a far broader selection of unused items, and don't unseal games or slather stickers all over the boxes/manuals/discs. These days I only buy from the high street when I'm getting hardware.

Game Stop is part of the problem, not part of the solution.
