GameStop officially acquires NZ's Gamesman
Even the Kiwis were no match for the armed and fully operational GameStop empire as it acquired New Zealand's largest independent gaming chain. GameDaily reports that New Zealand's The Gamesman will be absorbed into the GameStop collective and bring the company's presence in the country to 38 stores. This news confirms rumors from last month of The Gamesman's demise.On the bright side, Phil McPhee, general manager of The Gamesman, says the move will "enhance the service and experience for customers." Wow, Gamesman's customer service must have been awful! Good thing it got bought out by GameStop.
Rumor: GameStop taking over New Zealand's Gamesman
Geekpulp reports that New Zealand's largest "100% KIWI owned and managed" gaming store has accepted the warm embrace of the GameStop overlords. The site reports it has been "unofficially" told that the eight Gamesman locations will be converted into EB Games (GameStop) stores by late July.The site goes on to say that the eight Gamesman locations already have EB Games stores in the area, though the staff have been told that there won't be any job losses. Resistance is futile dear Kiwis, just accept GameStop as the rest of the world has. Now, to enjoy some soylent green for lunch, generously donated by GameStop.
