HMV closing 37 more stores, cutting 484 additional jobs

By Samit Sarkar on Feb 20, 2013 02.20.13

U.K. retailer HMV's administrators have decided to close another 37 of the company's stores, cuts that will put 484 more people out of work, reports The Guardian. Today's announcement brings the total number of planned closures to 103 stores. Deloitte, the professional services firm that is running HMV while it is in administration, said earlier this month that it planned to ax 66 stores and 930 employees over the next two months. Initially, the firm estimated it would close between 60 and 100 HMV locations. "We are extremely grateful to the staff for their continued strong support and commitment during an understandably difficult period," said administrator Nick Edwards. The cuts of 103 stores and more than 1,400 employees leave HMV with 116 retail locations across the U.K. The...

HMV to close up 66 stores over the next two months, 930 job losses

By Jenna Pitcher on Feb 08, 2013 02.08.13

HMV may close up to 66 stores over the next two months resulting in 930 employees losing their jobs, the Guardian reported. While the news is horridly dire, closures are on the smaller end of estimated loses. The 66 stores consist of 45 stores in England and 21 stores in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. CVG reports a source "close to the matter" said particular stores could reverse their fortunes and may not be shuttered by its administrators, the financial services firm Deloitte and HMV Canada owner Hilco. HMV posted an apology to its customers and staff on its Facebook page: "As you may be aware, a number of our stores in the UK have been earmarked for closure. This decision has not been taken lightly and, though very sad and regrettable, it is necessary to give HMV the best...

Warren Spector: 'I'm not ready to retire yet'

By Michael McWhertor on Feb 07, 2013 02.07.13

Game designer Warren Spector spoke at the DICE Summit today, one week after the closure of his Disney-owned studio, Junction Point, telling attendees that he's "not ready to retire yet" and still has games he wants to make. Spector opened his speech by clarifying that he wouldn't be talking about "the elephant in the room," the closure of Junction Point, Disney Interactive or the last eight years, "other than to say I worked with an amazing team on some amazing projects." "It's all good," he said, before launching into his talk, "The Graying of Gaming," in which Spector spoke about the aging gaming population, of which he is a part. "I had a little wake-up moment last week in the wake of events," the 57-year-old game designer said, following the shuttering of the studio he...

By Dave Tach on Dec 15, 2012 12.15.12

The Indie Game Challenge is on hiatus and will not be held during DICE 2013, a representative from IGC sponsor GameStop revealed to Polygon. "The 2012 - 13 Indie Game Challenge (IGC) will be on hiatus while we take time to analyze ways to promote and celebrate the independent game movement," GameStop's media relations manager Wendy Dominguez confirmed via email. "We have been committed and continue to be committed to supporting the independent game developer community. "Post-DICE 2013 we will have more to share."
