Well, I guess this is an early sign to say RIP to GameStop too.
I don't really think that's fair.
When a business is closing many of its stores and shutting down a subsidiary that has been around for 30+ years with a pretty reputable name (instead of selling it, for example), thats usually a sign that the business is going to go bye bye in the near future.
the mag has been a loss leader used to drive traffic into the stores for preorders. it was always pretty slanted, I suspect it's just been too expensive (as have all printed magazines lately) with too few subscribers to justify the outlay.
GameStop has sucked for a very long time and I’m astounded that so many people holding out hope for a meme stock to GO TO THE MOOOON again think it’s going to last.
Support local stores, death to GameStop
I'm not really holding out hope for anything, and I don't own Gamestop stock.
I just don't think that Game Informer closing down is the death knell of Gamestop.
That’s fair! I was part of the initial explosion of the stock, and sold the same day. The cult of GameStop loonies is still holding out hope to this day… it’s wild.
My local stores are less reliable when it comes to used games working. GameStop has always been reliable in my experience.
Don't be left holding the bags
