Thats a bummer for the people with unused gift cards etc.  Sounds like they said too bad so sad you cant use them anymore.

Yet another reason not to purchase gift cards...

Tangent:
Which reminds me: I have a $50 gift card from 6 years ago that I can't find (once a year I remember its existence and hunt for it). I should have spent the money impulsively as soon as I got it, but noooooooooo...

I suppose it's time to acknowledge that I'm never going to find that gift card.  (http://junk.tg-16.com/images/pcgsad.png)

A bit late, but that's too bad. Could someone fill me in on what they did to mess up this badly...? I've heard about having too many stores right next to each other but there has to be something else too, right?

Luckily for me, however, Nordic GAME group is still alive and kicking.
