Can i be 100% honest, with the internet, i haven't brought a gaming magazine since i was kid, never brought a copy of game informer

@MrMeddyman Месяц назад

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.

No real lost, game magazines have been rubbish for years so dont really care about this.

lmao i cant imagine giving a f*** about games "journalism' like at all at any point in time, yall are weird as hell!

@Mister_Phafanapolis Месяц назад

Some blog that tracks new releases and reposts press releases, sure. But “journalism” ? WTF are they journaling about and why would any single person waste their time reading that drivel? Journalists don’t report on real life news, why would they spend an iota of time on vidya games?! Games Journalism: work for those that couldn’t hack it in real news OR as a game developer.

Literally no one buys GameInformer "Why Did GameStop Close GameInformer Without Warning?" Gee I can't fucking imagine why.

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.

glad to see these "people" lose their jobs.

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.

Now now games journalism is destroying itself.

@obe22099 29 дней назад

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.

Thank you Skootish, I live in a locked, dark box, and your news videos are the only news of the outside world I see

When you have to choose between food and fuel, you don't buy games. The game industry is going to have a long down turn. So everyone in the industry is going to have issues of some type or another. Corporate greed? Lack of profits meeting expectations, sure... but the real major issue is... we just had a 'high' of gaming sales during Covid 19 and that is apparently over.
