I wouldn't read much into that; to me it seems like Ian Shepard has realised that he has a major issue on his hands and is trying to quell any mistrust or disapproval from his staff by releasing public statements on how GAME will be fine, etc.


Indeed,  Games Shares plunged 20% yesterday to a little over 5p.   The CEO has to reassure the Shareholders they are doing everything in their power.   Yesterdays fiasco though says otherwise.

They held a meeting with their suppliers last week, but said they're not stocking ME3 yesterday so things aren't looking good.  Anyone else think it's ironic that the CEO of GAME is called Shepard? lol :lol:


:happy: I spotted that lol. Though his is spelled Shepherd.

Sadly he's called Shepherd - a cheap imitation. If he was really Shepard he'd have indimidated or charmed EA into giving GAME everything they wanted.

It seems that Zavvi are getting the N7 warfare pack if you check their site/blog.

Well, with points and a gift card I was looking at scoring my ME3 CE for about £7.50. There's no other games I want, and GAME could be belly up by Christmas, rendering my points and gift card pointless. Think I'll go buy a Kinect for next to nothing - certainly not worth £80, but I'd probably pay £15.

Oh, slightly off topic, I know, but has anyone here also noticed that Cerberus Daily news appears to be back up and running?

if they ever get back into the black and give EA a guarantee of credit/payment from a bank it shouldnt be too hard

The Warfare Gear pack for 360/ps3 just popped up on shopto. No PC versions available yet though.

It's not about "making up" with EA. If Game can afford it in the future I don't doubt EA will do business with them.

Sadly it seems he went pargade/renagon, it's more fun but you never quite have the points to pull out the big persuasions.

Agreed. This isn't a fall from favour, GAME just isn't an option for EA right now due to its finances. They're trying to buy on credit but can't prove that they can meet the payment. If they get back up EA won't have any issues, though they may remember this and be a little more hesitant about exclusivity of CEs.

They're starting to backtrack too. They told eurogamer that it wasn't their fault but in fact it was a "supply issue"


They have been blaming EA from the get go, because EA would not 'work with them' (give them credit) in order to supply ME3 to their customers. It's a pretty cheap tactic to be honest, they should just own their mistakes instead of trying to palm them off onto another company.

Ahh that's great! Thanks for the update, it should come with the N7 I would think imagine. Fingers crossed for you guys on PC.

I really hope Amazon offer the Warfare pack... with my luck though, they probably will not.

Edit: Zavvi are getting the Warfare pack too it seems, including for the PC.

N7 Warfare Pack seems to be filtering through - here's hoping that EA are just giving it to all retailers...
