Walmart Want GAME?

Popular US store Walmart is considering acquiring doomed retail store GAME, that’s according to MCV. Investors believe that Walmart is currently prepared to offer 12p per share to buyout the GAME Group. MCV also reported that Comet owner OpCapita has offered a buyout bid that the GAME board is currently evaluating. Nintendo revealed earlier today that Kid Icarus: Uprising won’t be sold at either GAME or GameStation.

        1. Yes good luck, be careful of syphilis. Oh wait actually, no I hope you do get it. What a pathetic specimen you are.

            1. No your really not. You proved how much your worth when you made that comment and now there’s no redemption for you.

                1. You did nothing to redeem yourself fool. An immature comment such as that has proved how much life you are worth. Not much apparently. Have fun with syphilis.

                    1. No you didn’t. What a fool, you remind of everyone in my neighbourhood. That comment has proven that you are childish scum that is not worth anyone’s time.

    1. You know what’s easy to do? Ignore the first comment and move on to relevant conversation.

      You know what’s not easy to do? Ignore a fucking page of “you troll” and “you piece of shit fag” comments.

      For fuck’s sake, guys, if someone posts first, let them have their moment and move on.

        1. All “first!” comments are fail. I wasn’t even sure people did them anymore, then I found this site.

    2. LMAO At the pointlessness of that ENTIRE conversation Wow, you’re really gonna start an argument over the internet? What are you gonna do? Caps lock me to death?

      1. Walmart is ASDA in the UK right? ASDA are actually decent with games, but this whole Walmart thing just gives me a sour taste.

      2. I wouldn’t exactly call GAME a small business. They’re the only chain in the UK that’s dedicated to games. They definitely have the monopoly on that market.
        Walmart buying them could be good or bad, could go either way. Need to wait and see how it plays out.

  1. Oh god. The way walmart runs their game division…… Poor game. Might be better just to close.

    I mean they still sell games for full price 2-3 years later, because they don’t know gaming trends.

    1. They have a bargain bin and a rack dedicated to “platinum hits” or whatever the companies choose to call their heavy-hitters. Games get a markdown if they don’t sell well or if the game’s price is dropping elsewhere. They are pretty attuned to this sort of thing.

      But really, most titles will sell for $50 or $60 no matter how old they are or where you go. It usually takes a sequel or plateauing sales to knock a game’s price down.

  2. Aren’t Walmart the ones who own ASDA? But I doubt they would have the games as cheap. Unless they merge the stores so the entertainment section in ASDA will be using the GAME brand.

    1. I think this would be the situation, the Game brand is still pretty big, and with the finance of Walmart they really could make it work, so long at least they leave them to it, and bring cheaper prices!!!

  3. Isn’t walmart that shop in america where fat and lazy people shop in their pyjamas and shit? That’s what most americans have told me, and that Walmart is bad.

  4. I want someone to save GAME so our friends in Europe would still have access to their services. Hope it turns out well.

    Leave luck to heaven.

    1. GAME is the only main retail company specializing in games here… they own GAMESTATION.

      That would leave us with a digital store still here which sells games and movies and stuff called HMV.

      The part i hate most is theres going to be no proper gamestores here now if this happens.

      Game and Gamestation know about games… ask about Kid Icarus

      Game Cusumer: Hey I wanted to know how good and how is Kid Icarus is like.

      GAME: Oh yeah, I played it on my 3DS… EPIC game, if you like Starfox you would like this… some sort if principle with the flying.

      Game Cusumer: Wow thanks, BUY!!!

      Game Cusomer buys, PEACE!

      Now here is Tescos and a guy asking what Kid Icarus is like.

      Guy: Oh hey! your in the game section and I want you help of this game, is this game good and what is kid Icarus like?

      Tesco: Oh that game sucks, you should go buy an Xbox their way better. Don’t go and buy an kid’s console with 1st gen graphics! Pachter is my leader! He is our LEADER! And Wii U and VITA is a retarded name for a console and Sony and Nintendo sucks. Buy Xbox.

      Guy: GET OUT OF HERE NOW YOU PACHTER FOLLOWING IDIOT! VITA IS A GOOD NAME AND WII U IS A GOOD NAME! PACHTER IS AN IDIOT FOR SAYING THAT! AND ALL I ASKED ABOUT IS WHAT THE GAME KID ICARUS WAS LIKE! NOT HOW MUCH NINTENDO AND SONY SUCKS!

      The guy never goes to Tescos again

      Now here is an online buyer. Searching and about to buy Kid Icarus of a gaming website.

      Online buyer: YEAH! Kid icarus is now out! waited years for this! lets get buying! lets see the cheapist website!

      Buyer finds a cheap bargin website.

      Online Buyer: Wow bargin! thats so cheap! BUY!

      a few days later.

      Online buyer: Oh where is my damn game!? it’s never arrived yet! Oh I need to look at my credit card bill now.

      Online buyer looks at credit card bill.

      Online Buyer: WTF! WHAT THE! I’M SCAMMED! HATE YOU ONLINE! ONLINE YOU SCAMMY! WHERE IS GAME! GAME FOR EVER! NOOOOOOOO IT CLOSED DOWN!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

      The online Buyer was scammed and was owed lots of money for his credit card bill.

      And thats the story why GAME and GAMESTATION should never go.

      1. Lol. Sounds awful. I hope Walmart buys GAME and stops it from closing so you wouldn’t have to go through that again.

      2. That’s pretty far fetched. :P

        I think if you went into tesco’s and asked about game they’d just tell you they don’t know, since mostly old people work there.

      3. Lolz! I love the part with the tesco and that Tescos guy said he followed Pachter.

        Really all 3 stories show the reason why GAME and GAMESTATION should never go ;)

    1. Depends what you typed in your comments.

      Sometimes it would never show up for me but then it eventually when i change my comment.

      Type something else!
