If that is the case then that is a bad sign indeed, it means the companies that supply videogames to GAME do not have the confidence that the store chain will last to get their money back.
Brick and mortar videogame stores usually make money only on the second hand games market nowadays, and a little on the pre-order launch titles, but not nearly as much as from the secondhand market (so much even that some game stores actively push for selling secondhand games). That in itself again is a problem for the game publishers and software houses, but that is another story all together.
It sucks for those that had pre-ordered the Collectors edition the most, I'm guessing that is where you had yours on pre-order Nap? Any other stores where you can still order the collectors edition?
