Game Informer Closed

It's "The Final Level" on the Game Informer Website where there's the announcement that the GameStop-owned video game magazine has ended operations after 368 issues spanning 33 years. The statement does not give any indication that the website or any of the operation will continue going forward:
After 33 thrilling years of bringing you the latest news, reviews, and insights from the ever-evolving world of gaming, it is with a heavy heart that we announce the closure of Game Informer.

From the early days of pixelated adventures to today's immersive virtual realms, we've been honored to share this incredible journey with you, our loyal readers. While our presses may stop, the passion for gaming that we've cultivated together will continue to live on.

Thank you for being part of our epic quest, and may your own gaming adventures never end.

I don't think I've been subscribed to a magazine in more than 20 years. Props to them being able to hold out that long.
I’m more amazed that anything GameStop related, including GameStop, is still around.

Good old days. I remember endlessly staring at previews of games I was obsessively looking forward to, even cutting out pieces to stick on my desk and walls. One of such "previews" was Outcast 2, concept art of a game that never came.

Until 2024. And I loved it.
I thought Hollywood had hit rock buttom. Then this happened.

Do you have a single fact to back that up?

The gaming magazines have run their course, but there was a certain magic to that era that I miss.

For about 10 years I had a sub to PC Gamer and a sub to Game Informer. You know, back in the final years of the magazinic era.

Back in the hey-day I never read Game informer. I was a computer gaming world fanboy, on the rare occasion my mother could afford to buy me a magazine.

Shame to see such long lived things like these die off.
