Retailer Pat Fuge (Gnome Games, Green Bay, Wisconsin) has requested that GAMA, the Game Manufacturer’s Association, organize a campaign to convince Facebook to add a category of business for game stores, and to create a category of event that will work for tabletop gaming events.  Fuge asked that the organization’s board take up the issue at its meeting at Origins Game Fair next week. 

Fuge told ICv2 that he reached out to GAMA because it will take an industry-wide effort to generate sufficient contacts with Facebook to get them to make the changes.  

The action would be “a major accomplishment for the entire industry,” Fuge wrote.
