Despite plans to go public in 2018 with an IPO on the London Stock Exchange's AIM market, Green Man Gaming decided to delay the flotation. This decision was influenced by market conditions and the company's strategic focus on strengthening its core business operations.
Today, Green Man Gaming continues to thrive as a leading digital retailer, known for its competitive pricing and extensive game library. The company's journey from a startup to a digital retail powerhouse highlights its adaptability and commitment to innovation in the ever-evolving gaming landscape.
