Game in danger of collapse Retailer Game has said it is in danger of collapsing after several suppliers refused to provide it with new products. The group employs 10,000 people and says it is now considering options in its battle for survival. That may include the sale of its UK business which has 600 stores. The group's quarterly rent bill is due in a fortnight and failure to pay could push it into administration. It has also failed to stock new titles such as Mass Effect 3 and Street Fighter X Tekken. Game has agreed fresh lending facilities with banks last month but the loan was not enough to reassure suppliers. Christmas sales were down 12.9 per cent in the eight weeks to January 7 which was blamed on a lack of new consoles and a squeeze in consumer spending.
