Full List Of GAME And GameStation Closures

Almost 300 GAME stores are closing with immediate effect, resulting in the loss of over 2,000 jobs.

The GAME Group officially went into administration yesterday and with this action came the immediate closure of 277 of its 609 outlet stores across the UK and Ireland. This series of closures will mean 2104 people will be out of a job. Below we have the complete list of the stores in both the UK and Ireland that will no longer be with us, as reported by Retail Week. This is the full list of stores that will be closing immediately. Dublin and Leeds seemed to be hit particularly hard losing a total of 5 stores each. My own local GAME here in Stirling's Thistle Centre looks to be getting the chop, so it's a good thing I already headed down there to take advantage of their slashed prices. No doubt some people reading this will be in the same situation. It'll be sad to see the stores go, especially in smaller towns like Stirling, which actually had people I knew working behind the tills. However it does seem like the local Game Station has avoided the chop, meaning that it would seem that the powers that be have made sure that the public won't be left without an establishment to buy their games. Are you sad to see the stores go?

Corey's been in love with games ever since he first met a bandicoot many moons ago. Since then he's discovered he'll play pretty much anything, except karaoke games. He spends his time writing, listening to classic rock and drinking perhaps a little too much Guinness. You can follow his Irish internet ramblings on his Twitter @Corey_Milne
