Today Lik-Sang announced it would be closing its doors.

The reasons? Not enough money to compete with a megacorporation (I refuse to write the 'S' word now) on an european-wide lawsuit. All their business was legal, but they couldn't spare lawyer money on many different countries.

Now, it's gone, the largest import store online, where you could get all those weird games and accessories for your consoles/handhelds/pcs, or people like me on countries not officially supported by gaming companies could get gaming hardware and software LEGALLY.

But, of course, that's not the end of it. By winning said lawsuit, this megacorporation got the precedent to sue ANY importer. Not only that, the precedent extends to ANYONE who doesn't want to see their products being sold to other countries. Including other gaming companies.

So much for a globalized world. I hope other gaming companies don't follow suit; and we may see import stores stop selling products from said megacorporation, in fear of the same imoral legal tactics.

Ultimately, this will only hurt gamers that can't get the games they want, and those who don't sell their products because they made it illegal to sell those.
