Other UK retailer GAME ending software trade-ins

[cm2]

Read from eurogamer:

GAME, the UK's biggest high street video game retailer, will no longer allow customers to trade in physical video games from next month, staff have told Eurogamer.

The chain is expected to end its long-running video game trade-in facility on 16th February, with remaining pre-owned stock continuing to be sold until it has run out.

GAME staff have been told of the change, and Eurogamer has corroborated this with multiple branches of the retailer nationwide. We've contacted GAME itself for more.

It's still a rumor at this point, but I don't see how it can be. Used games would be their main source of income.

Looks like it is confirmed with lay-offs for their staff

This is unfortunate news for people who live close to a GAME store, and buy used games to save money, or need to quickly sell their used games for money or in-store credit to buy another game.

Hopefully, the workers who got laid off from GAME will quickly find new jobs.

Wonder when Gamestop will do this?

Brits still have CEX, which has a better selection.
