Manager at GAME orders entire company supply of gift cards

If you go down to GAME today you will have trouble buying a store gift card.

The UK retailer has been hit by a nationwide gift card shortage after one manager from a Scottish store accidentally ordered the company's entire stock.

A source familiar with the situation confirmed the story to Eurogamer.

Customers are currently being told they cannot buy gift cards due to the error.

Neither can you exchange items for store credit and have that credit put on a gift card for you.

The issue first came to light on NeoGAF, where users initially assumed it was a sign the retailer was in financial trouble.

Previously, GAME withdrew gift cards from sale shortly before it fell into administration back in 2012.

Thankfully, this time around, the explanation is a little less serious.

We've contacted GAME for comment and will update if they say anything.

Seems like the sort of thing to happen at such a rubbish retailer
