I got to know the owner, Dan, pretty well. He was an extremely nice guy, and so were all the other employees that worked there. There was actually a notice on the door that I couldn't really make heads or tails of, but what jumped out was the 11 thousand dollars and change that seemed to be owed in I guess rent fees. o.o; So ya, that really sucks. =/ What's even worse is I had $30 on my account. Ironically, my mom told me not to sell my games to them because they'd probably go under. Oh well, you live and you learn. x_x; Anyways, thanks for a couple great years, Dan and everyone else that made GameNow possible. You'll really be missed.

I work literally 2 minutes away from GameNow and it was somewhere I liked to visit on those tough afternoons on which I needed to escape the office. I'm a sad panda. Wow, this is kind of a shocker.
