    We are genuinely fucked if
    #GAME stops selling physical games. In my area, GAME is practically the only place that has a decent selection of NEW physical games.

    ASDA hardly has anything (probably). Tesco got rid of it. Lidl has never had it. Sainsbury's doesn't seem to have it. Aldi isn't going to have it either. Don't think I've ever seen them in Morrisons but I haven't stepped in those stores for years.

    Our only option for buying new physical games will be online. Sure, I'll be able to get
    used ones from CeX (better for the environment but if you want to get a game close to launch you won't be able to), CashConverters and all the second hand shops (there's apparently a game shop here and Retro Sect is about 10mi or so but still).
