Guess Who Owns GAME Australia’s Old Domain Name?
GAME may have shut the doors on its local operations almost a year ago, but bits and pieces of the company still exist. Take for instance the domain “game.com.au”, a valuable chunk of online real estate. Rather than sit dormant, the name has been picked up by a large player… just not one directly involved with video games.
All The King’s Men: How GAME Australia Fell Apart At The Seams
The Rise And Fall Of GAME
Last week, after months of speculation, it was finally announced that GAME, Australia’s second largest video game specialist retailer, was going into liquidation. Today, Scott Parbery, GAME’s ex-ACT Regional Manager writes about his experiences, from the initial acquisition of Game Wizards, until the day he left GAME’s employ.
GAME Officially Goes Into Liquidation
After the news that GAME was closing all remaining stores, going into liquidation was almost an inevitability, but PwC, GAME’s administrators have just confirmed that the creditors have voted, and the company will officially be going into liquidation. Kate Warwick and Greg Hall of PwC have been appointed as liquidators.
GAME To Close All Remaining Stores
Gamespot has just gotten word from PwC that all remaining GAME stores are set to be closed. 16 stores will be closed immediately, with the remaining 15 being closed in the coming weeks.
The GAME Sale Now Up To 60%
First it was a 25% sale, then that sale was cranked up to 40%. Now as the sale moves to a close, presumably in time for the next GAME Creditors meeting on June 19, they’ve upped the sale to 60% in-store and online.
GAME’s Administrators To Recommend Liquidation At Next Creditor’s Meeting
Documents cited by Kotaku Australia state that PwC, the company placed in charge of GAME’s administration, will recommend GAME go into liquidation after the next creditor’s meeting on June 19. Creditors will vote to decide GAME’s fate, but PwC explicitly states in its Administrators report that “absent of any other options, it is our opinion that the Company be placed into liquidation as the Company is insolvent”.
