A. They're business practices are terrible, and have been so for years. Government by diktat from head office, with no responsibility given to store managers.
B. Renting too many stories close together. There's at least five GAME stores I know of in Glasgow, probably more, and Glasgow isn't even that big a city.
C. Retail market in the UK has been utter crap the last couple of years. Call of Duty might be breaking records, but little else is doing well. What growth there is is confined mostly to the downloadable areas (DLC, downloadable games, iOS/Android games, Steam), which screws physical retailers further.
D. Everyone hates them (publishers even hate them since they sell 80% pre-owned games).
