When GAME acquired Multiplay, we knew it was because the retailer wanted to get into eSports. With such a large number of stores, and growing competition from online businesses like Amazon, it seemed an obvious way for the company to earn more money. Now, we're finally seeing that idea come to life. The company has announced an "eSports zone" that will sit inside one of its stores in Manchester. It's a dedicated, permanent fixture with 10 PCs and a virtual reality "pod" that can host both GAME and developer-affiliated events. GAME says it'll cater for titles such as Hearthstone, Minecraft and Counter Strike: Global Offensive.
