re: GAME (UK) rescued by OpCapita
A guy I work with said his cousin works for game and they are unlikely to survive the day, but I have no proof of this.
So on the way home I'm popping in to spend my £18 on my rewards card.

They are already planning on doing so. Can't remember where I saw it but am sure it was in the news recently.

Could Game (and HMV) become a online only business?
