"GAME has confirmed job losses at its Basingstoke headquarters. A total of 46 roles have been cut as part of a restructure aimed at allowing the firm &amp;quot;better to respond to the current video games market&amp;quot;, according to MCV. The losses are around 10% of the workforce currently employed at the retailer&amp;#039;s head office.  &amp;quot;The proposed restructure will result in around 46 fewer roles at our central support centre in Basingstoke,&amp;quot; said a spokesperson. &amp;quot;Our proposed new structure will change the way that we operate and will enable us to be significantly more efficient in our relationships with suppliers and customers. &amp;quot;We are giving our full help and support to the colleagues who are affected by these proposed changes.&amp;quot; The main changes to GAME&amp;#039;s structure include former commercial strategy director Tricia Brennan becoming chief commercial officer, while managing director Tom Devine is now channel director. Dave Hughes, who recently oversaw the relaunch of GAME&amp;#039;s website, is to leave in March.   GAME recently received lender support to alleviate financial troubles following apparent concern by publisher EA. The high street retailer&amp;#039;s shares plummeted by 90% in 2011, despite \u00A31 billion in annual turnover. It was also recently forced to deny claims that its site had been hacked.
