Sports Direct, a retailer owned by corporate raider Mike Ashley, has acquired Game Digital (the UK and Spanish equivalent of Gamestop) for GBP 52m after building up bigger and bigger stakes over the last two years. He’s basically trying to take over the entire high street at the moment, having bought department store chain House of Fraser out of insolvency and having aggressive “rescue” offers rebuffed by Debenhams and various other collapsed chains.
