Everyone knew the company was in trouble obviously, but there was so much talk of multiple companies being interested in buying Game, plus that investment firm that sunk huge sums into shares I don't think anyone was expecting half the stores to be gone. Especially places like Blackburn. When that went we realised no one was safe, despite our rationalising about us being the safest store on the region.
I decided to hang about after my shift and wait for the news there rather than sit at home hitting F5 on MCV, and we all jumped whenever the phone rang. When Gamestation rang us to tell us they were closing, we knew we were safe as they had to put up a sign redirecting customers to us. Still though, it was another 2 hours before anyone told us we were actually safe. Going round to GS after seeing how gutted everyone was was horrible, because we knew it could have been us.
tldr; Similar happened to me, we all felt the same, it's shit but normal.
