Important Notice

After serving our great customers for more than three years, the management team has decided to cease the operation of www.GamiShop.com indefinitely. All pending orders will be refunded within 48 hours. We will keep on monitoring gamishop@gmail.com so please email us if you have any question.

Needless to say, this is one of the toughest decisions to make – to admit that the website is no longer viable in the changed environment is one thing, to say goodbye to our lovely loyal customers is an even harder one. A lot of our customers became our friends and we even played in game together! In these three years, things in and out of the game world have changed dramatically. In the game world, more emphasizes have been put on quests and team-playing which make in-game currency less important. Moreover, some developers have decided to sell in-game currency directly to players and bypass sweatshops in China. These changes, admittedly, are good for enhancing players’ experience – it doesn’t make a lot of sense to use millions if not billions hours of manpower to change those ‘0’s and ‘1’s stored on game server while the developer can do it in a heartbeat.

New game mechanisms ask for new business model - we have pursued some new ideas but things happened out of the game world make new initiatives hard to pursue. Firstly, the Chinese Yuan has appreciated about 15% against US Dollars. Secondly, salary has been increasing rapidly in China – especially for experienced employees. The double-squeeze on revenue and cost renders the business no longer viable – unless we change our model to do a lot of marketing and charge our customers much higher price like those more famous websites do. We thought about it and found it against our philosophy and belief in what the Internet should provide – free flow of information and lower price for everyone.

We may come back with a new viable business model as we still believe that at least some of the experiences in the virtual world are as real as those the real world. In the meantime, please visit our sister website www.litedeals.com for some of your real world needs.

Take care in your future adventures and our best wishes for you! We love you!
