This has been coming for a long time.
The sad truth is that physical games are dying. The market is now mostly digital and the gap will only get bigger. Unlike film and music, games won't see some kind of physical media nostalgic resurgence either.
There just isn't a future for brick and mortar video game stores.
Nothing to do with Physical Media dying, not Game Physical Media anyway, but Music & Film and the decline in Retail Clothing Stores.
Since the likes of HMV & Virgin Mega Stores disappeared from the high street everything has been on a decline.
Music, Games, Films, Clothes, Electronics have all been replaced by coffee shops and fast food.
if you can't get those things from your local then you buy online which gives you little reason to go to those shopping centres.
Which decreases sales for others stores.
The fact that GAME still remains is shocking in itself.
You'd have to be literally traveling to a shopping centre just to visit GAME.
where as before you'd be doing a bigger shop.
