GAMEโs collapse was bigger than many thought, new documents show the UK gaming retailer owed ยฃ15.8 million when it went into administration.
About ยฃ3.5 million was owed to secured creditors, while almost ยฃ12 million was owed to suppliers and other unsecured creditors, many of whom may never recover all their money.
The company struggled as more people bought games digitally instead of on discs, while tough trading conditions made things harder.
The UK needs the return of GameStation. ๐ฌ๐ง๐น๏ธ

What else are we missing? ๐ค
@evercaderetro A collection of bullet hell shooters from Cave, something like thay would work well on the handhelds tate mode.
Also a dual cart of Dino Crisis 1 and 2 and Mega Man Legends trilogy cart.
You know what's good about physical cartridges?
You can play any Evercade cartridge on any Evercade device.
Handheld, TV, Arcade, sceond hand, brand new, borrowed from a friend, sharing at a gaming party...
Can you do that with digital?
@PlayStationUK What about the 3rd party publishers who still want to have physical versions? Couldn't care about Sony games but at least give them the option if they still want to produce disks.
