GamePro Magazine Ending

[Nov 30, 2011, 5:14 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

IndustryGamers has word that GamePro magazine is ceasing publication after a brief run as a quarterly. Further, the GamePro Website has a message indicating its content will be folded into PC World: "Thank you for your loyalty, support, and participation in the GamePro.com community. At noon on December 5, 2011, the U.S. version of GamePro online will shut down as an independent site. GamePro will become part of PCWorld.com (http://www.pcworld.com/gamepro) offering gaming news, reviews, and how-tos from the PCWorld team. Thank you to the entire GamePro staff for their hard work and dedication." IndustryGamers has statements from parent company IDG (who sell ads for this site) which do not indicate how many jobs will be lost as a result.

The Desslock and Mahood columns are routinely excellent, and Dan Stapleton is still a member of the old guard when it comes to PC Gaming. I generally agree with his reviews as well. Dan Stapleton quit to run Gamespy and the Desslock columns have started appearing on pcgamer.com, so any reason to read the magazine is quickly dying. I got a sub for $5 a while back, but once that ends I don't see why I would renew.
