"GAME Ends Trade-Ins: Impact on Gamers and Industry"
UK High Street chain Game, owned by Frasers Group, is phasing out its pre-owned video game business, signaling the end of a cheaper way to purchase titles valued by many gamers. The decision comes as digital sales now account for almost nine out of every 10 video games sold in the UK, and as subscription services like PlayStation Plus and Game Pass gain popularity. The move has sparked reactions from industry professionals and users, with some expressing disappointment and others highlighting the potential impact on the market.
