Opcapita deal to save remaining Game operations

More than 3,000 jobs are expected to be saved by a deal to rescue part of struggling retailer Game Group by a turn-around investment firm in a boost for the high street.

Opcapita, which recently bought electrical goods retailer Comet, is set to announce that it is buying a substantial part of the computer games chain, keeping open 333 shops and saving 3,100 jobs, the BBC said.
