Exciting to see where the new owners take this. Was bought by “Electronics Boutique Canada Inc.” and will be now called EB Games Canada… again.

The below article has more brief history regarding the personality and history of the new owner. Seems like selling toys might be a bigger focus rather than selling physical games – but truthfully that was a dying aspect of the business anyways, everything being digital now and what not.

But hey, it is fully Canadian owned and operated now. That is something at least.

Hey I need to buy the 1 switch game per year I get from somewhere, and it’s not going to be from the eshop.

I have good memories of EB Games, hopefully they can make it viable.

Any games, any hardware, any table – but with a focus on Canadian!

This community is focused on celebrating and talking about games created by Canadians or heavily influenced by Canadian culture. This can include console games, pc games, or even table top games such as boardgames or TTRPGs.

This may also extend to Canadian content creators whose channels main focus is on gaming content. Limited self-promotion is allowed.

Community discord will be incoming shortly.

DA RULES

1.Be Respectful: Gift everyone your kindness and patience. If you have none, gift your silence instead. Discrimination, hate speech, or harassment won’t be tolerated. If you see any, just downvote and report and it will be cleaned up.

2.Stay on Topic: Posts must be relevant to Canadian games and Canadian gaming topics. Comments are not relegated by this rule, they are a free for all for discussion. Exceptions may be made to this rule at mod discretion, but the idea is that this is !canadiangaming, not !gaming.

3.French and English are welcomed: We accept and encourage both official languages. French is super cool. Feel free to post or comment in either language, regardless of the OG post’s language.

4.Content creator promotions: Promotion of the same channel is limited to once a week. The channel must either be Canadian, or the content being shared must feature a Canadian gaming topic prominently in the video.

5.Memes: Memes (image macros) are allowed, but all other rules still apply to the meme itself.

The No Rules:

6.No Political posts: This community is not the correct place for political discussion. LGBTQ+ content is not political. Anyone unironically critiquing games (or calling them “woke”) for merely including LGBTQ+ content will be removed.

7.No Spamming or low quality posts: Mods reserve the right to remove posts or comments that are low quality and do not contribute to the community. Low quality content is at moderator discretion, but largely defined as irrelevant to the topic of the community, repeated topics, and reposted content.

8.No Pornographic content: No NSFW content. Keep it clean. Adult topics are allowed if they are on topic respectable, but adult imagery of any kind is not allowed. Don’t be thirsty on main.

9.No doing stuff that makes me need to make more rules: Moderation reserves the right to take action on anything seen as detrimental to the community. Just cause I didn’t write it down here doesn’t mean it is necessarily allowed.

Rules are subject to change as the community grows.
