The Death Of Game Informer
Games media has been through the wringer this year, and one of the most tragic examples of this was the death of Game Informer.
GameStop, historically known for being unable to run a business, officially closed down the world’s longest-running print video game magazine back in August. If uprooting the lives of its workers wasn’t bad enough, the company also took down the official website, wiping decades of video game coverage from the internet in mere seconds. Going to the Game Informer site now takes you to a statement not written by anyone who worked at Game Informer lamenting the closure of one of games media’s institutions, as if this wasn’t an entirely avoidable tragedy. -Kenneth Shepard
