GameStop, the dead company that had been all but written off until a meme brought them back to life a few years ago, shut down a branch that was likely not profitable for them. Surprise surprise.
Rest in piss with the rest of inevitably closing game journos who in the last couple decades have become nothing, but cesspits for eventual Koutaku and IGN glorified bloggers. I haven't trusted the opinion of a gaming magazine since Tips & Tricks which actually did their job unlike most of these rags.
Public sales data ends in 2017. Citing data from 2017 in 2024 as if nothing has changed seems intellectually dishonest. Gaming digital media has practically fallen off the cliff within the last 5 years and logically that was probably why gameinformer stopped reporting on sales figures because the trend carried over to print media. This video is very dishonest.
Man I haven't seen someone do the jerking off sign with a smug look like that since middle school! Great to see such overwhelming maturity displayed at the Pokemon TCG championship. Lol
Wrong, game "journalists" killed gaming journalism. The industry has been infiltrated with tons of weirdos, liberal white women and simps. They are all activists for their made up causes. They don't care about video games and gamers don't care about what they have to say.
But Gameinformer was just as guilty of any other publication of turning to tabloid trends to get clicks, not as bad as Destructoid or *barf* Kotaku but bad enough that out of my tab bookmarks it got used the least. Just feels like pointless nostalgia as they're nothing like they were in the early days of publication.
I have been subscribed to game informer for at least 20 years of the 32 years I have been alive on this earth. This hurts so much I feel for every one that lost years of hard work in an instant.
i never cared about games as a whole when i got into gaming it was already overwhelming so nintendo square enix and runescape were my games now runescape costs 90% more and demanding we pay for their lives in the eu or something
