It has come to light this morning that troubled UK games retailer Game Group will not be stocking a number of high-profile games at their various launches, including EA's
Mass Effect 3.
An internal memo from the company,
as reported by Eurogamer, also states that Game will not be stocking any EA games from March onwards, including
FIFA Street 3, Tiger Woods 13 and
Sims 3 Showtime.
The struggling video game retailer
was in talks with lenders about its credit issues earlier this month, and
managed to reach a new agreement with lenders that allowed it to continue operating into the near future.
However, there has been a number of issues over the course of the month with the retailer not stocking games on their launch dates. Today, Game issued a statement saying that it will not be stocking
Mass Effect 3 on launch day due to a "supply issue."
"We currently have a supply issue with regards to
Mass Effect 3, which means that Game and [sister store] Gamestation will not be able to fulfil orders for
Mass Effect 3 at this time," it stated.
It is also being reported that Game will not be stocking a number of other upcoming titles, including Nintendo's
Mario Party 9.
