Aug 2, 2024, 04:06 PM
Game Informer, the longest-running gaming magazine in the US, is shutting down after 33 years of publication. The decision was made by its parent company, GameStop, which has laid off the entire staff. The announcement marks the end of an era for the gaming industry, as Game Informer has been a staple in gaming journalism with over 330 issues published. The closure was abrupt, with reports indicating that at least one staff member was on a work trip when informed of the shutdown. The publication was reportedly 70% complete with its next issue, which will now never see the light of day. The magazine will immediately cease publication.
