Fallen soldiers.
As of the last week or so, 2 local video game stores have gone out of business...Play N Trade Kitsilano... is packing it in & moving their stock to their Squamish location (same owner). My sympathies to their staff (some of which were friends of Gamedeals) whom are now looking for work, but that store is one we're glad to see gone.
Cheeky Monkey Games... was a small store downtown run by Mark (very cool Brit). We liked him, and his store will be missed.
I just wanted to take this opportunity to remind everyone that the independent video game store business (or any indie store business for that matter) is a difficult one, and it's important to support your local stores (as opposed to the big chain stores) if you want them to survive. They are what gives our neighborhood culture and generally provide products/services far better than what the big box stores do. Something to think about.
