The chain of stores GAME has announced that it has made new layoffs in the United Kingdom after a decrease in the sale of physical games.
The company has announced a reorganization that will deal with the decline in sales of games in physical format and the consequent reduction in the volume of revenues from stores.
Among the plans to compensate for this is to strengthen its position in the eSports business and the Belong system, in which players can pay to use high-end PCs to play competitive titles with them. The company has 20 locations and wants to reach the hundred.
The truth is that video game sales in the United Kingdom have dropped to a global level with 8.2% less than in 2017, and revenues have dropped by 6%. For the total of the year, GAME expects financial results to be lower than those of the previous year.
The dismissals have been small-scale, but the company has not given specific details, the information we have comes after the departure of Natalie Amosu (advertising director) and David Rimmer (commercial director).
GAME's business in other countries shows positive results: the company has indicated that its sales are growing, so there is no fear for this division of the company.
