GAME could be out of Administration Tomorrow A new rumour has appeared in the GAME administration saga that suggests tomorrow, 30th March, could see the troubled retailer exit administration thanks to a buyout from a collective of banks led by Royal Bank of Scotland. While several other companies were in the running for the purchase – of at least part – of the long standing video game seller, RBS has emerged in recent days as being in pole position. Walmart and Hilco have remained quiet since early rumours of their involvement surfaced, while OpCapita’s offer was supposedly turned down. GameStop on the other hand made it seem quite clear it wouldn’t be striking a deal, since it was claimed its main focus in the UK was digital – suggesting a focus on the Impulse digital download platform. However, even if RBS does swoop in and save GAME, it has been irreperably changed by the administration and recent financial issues. Nearly half of the UK based stores have closed, with a total of 277 being shut down. In Ireland, all but three shut up shop, with some employees staging a sit-in in protest of the only one week notice they received about the closures. As MCVUK points out, an exit from administration should please the remaining several thousand staff – even if there is no hope for those that have been let go throughout this brief saga. It will also be interesting to see what changes will be made to the business beyond a downsizing to help it stay profitable from now on. One thing that should be mentioned though, the hundreds of news stories that have been written about the business is the most publicity it has received in years. Maybe that will help.

D'fhéadfadh a bheith CLUICHE as Riaracháin will Tá ráfla nua le feiceáil sa saga riarachán GAME a thugann le fios amárach, 30 Márta fhéadfaí, go raibh maith agat an miondíoltóir trioblóideacha riarachán scoir a fheiceáil le buyout ó comhchoiteann de na bainc faoi stiúir an Royal Bank of Scotland. Cé go raibh roinnt cuideachtaí eile san iomaíocht do cheannach - ar a laghad cuid - an díoltóir seasamh fada físeán cluiche, tá RBS chun cinn le cúpla lá anuas a bheith i riocht cuaille. Walmart agus Hilco gur fhan ciúin ó dromchla ráflaí go luath ar a rannpháirtíocht, agus tairiscint OpCapita ar diúltaíodh supposedly síos. GameStop ar an láimh eile a rinneadh dealraíonn sé soiléir go leor nach mbeadh sé a bhualadh go leor, ó d'éiligh sé a príomhfhócas sa Ríocht Aontaithe a bhí digiteach - mholadh ag díriú ar an ardán íoslódáil impulse digiteach. Mar sin féin, fiú má dhéanann RBS swoop i agus a shábháil ar CLUICHE, tá sé athraithe irreperably ag an riarachán agus saincheisteanna airgeadais le déanaí. Beagnach leath de na siopaí atá bunaithe sa Ríocht Aontaithe a bheith dúnta, le iomlán de 277 á t síos. In Éirinn, stoptar go léir ach trí suas siopa, le roinnt fostaithe staging a suí-i mar agóid den fhógra ach seachtain amháin a fuair siad mar gheall ar an dúnadh. Mar a MCVUK pointí amach , ba cheart slí amach ón riaracháin le do thoil na foirne atá fágtha míle roinnt - fiú mura bhfuil aon dóchas dóibh siúd a cuireadh in iúl go fud an saga gairid. Beidh sé suimiúil freisin a fheiceáil cad a bheidh ar athruithe a dhéanamh ar an gnó thar a laghdú méide chun cuidiú leis fanacht brabúsach as seo amach. Rud amháin ba chóir a lua áfach, go bhfuil na céadta de scéalta nuachta atá scríofa faoi ghnó an phoiblíocht is mó a fuair sé i mbliana. B'fhéidir go mbeidh a chabhróidh.
