We’ve seen a lot of announcements of restructuring, layoffs, and closures from the gaming industry recently. The causes have ranged from changes in how folks get their information and games, to overstaffing issues caused by unstable growth predictions.
However, this latest one is truly the end of an era.
Game Informer has announced its closure after 33 years of operation. The publication has provided news, reviews, and insights into the gaming industry since its inception. The decision marks the end of an era that spanned from early video game development to contemporary virtual gaming experiences. Throughout its history, Game Informer has aimed to share its passion for gaming with its readership.
Game Informer started as a magazine that you could purchase at GameStop stores or subscribe to via a GameStop Pro subscription. With the downturn in GameStop’s sales as well as physical media sales, the writing has long been on the wall for Game Informer.
Here is the full farewell from Game Informer:
