Game Informer was one of the last gaming magazines. It has been shut down after being in publication for 33 years. It was owned by GameStop and the announcement was made on Friday. As per reports the entire staff of the magazine is being laid off.
The publication did not give any reason for the shutdown, in the statement that was posted on X. The CEO of GameStop Ryan Cohen told the staff last year that“every expense at the company must be scrutinized under a microscope and all waste eliminated,” as per the email that was acquired by Kotaku.
In March of this year, the magazine introduced a new type of subscription directly to the magazine. Before that, you could only get the magazine by buying new issues or getting them through the GameStop Pro subscription
Matt Miller the editor-in-chief announced on the blog of Game Informer “We haven’t been immune to that hardship.”
