Crytek agreed the second hand games market should be killed.

Saddening really. I could live with games publishers opting for a take in the second hand biz but to completely rid them selves of it would be annoying to say the least. I doubt they would be happy to bring the wholesale price down on the games in expectation of higher sales?

GAME UK gets a small lifeline.

Looks like OpCapita has agreed to buy the remaining stores and deal with a large potion of the companies debt.

I personally think the publishers should be doing what they can to help out (obviously if they get certain financial assurances) as this has the large benefit of retail space providing free advertising for them. GAME will need to focus on competitive pricing though as they really flag there.
