Game Outlet Europe, known for its unique "Game Outlet Pallet" distribution business, has been successfully distributing video games for a number of years, with a yearly turnover in excess of �20million, and year on year growth, and makes the move into publishing with a wealth of consumer data, financial stability, and access to a solid distribution network.
