(GAME and EB are owned by Gamestop)
Seemingly they only own 25%, though I have no idea what that actually means in terms of ownership. So you're basically saying that of the videogame shops in the UK, there is EBGames, who own part of GAME, who own Gamestation? Nice to see there are no monopolies going on...SuperMse said:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_(retailer)Lukeje said:Nope, Game is not owned by Gamestop. Where did you hear that?

If Wikipedia is wrong on this one, then sorry. I have never been to a GAME as I am located in the United States. Anyways, the article states that GAME is owned by EB Games, which is in turn owned by Gamestop.
I think article said that they later bought more of the retailers, or just bought out specific storefronts themselves, I'm a little shaky on the details, but EB is involved somewhere.Lukeje said:Seemingly they only own 25%, though I have no idea what that actually means in terms of ownership.
