The writing has been on the wall for a while but that’s still unfortunate news.
porkchop_d_clown
I mean, I haven’t read it in years, but so many memories.
mystical_ninja
Damn I just signed up for a two year subscription for my daughter.
Dry_Ass_P-word
Dang that’s sad. Another part of many childhoods disappearing.

Man I used to love getting these in the mail as a kid. The cover art was so cool sometimes.
hobbitfeet22
Well this is disheartening. I still get one every month and love looking at them
PopBopMopCop
Very sad to see
Raccoonborn
Damn that sucks.
illegalshidder
No way, what about The Gameinformer Show? They’re my favorite gaming podcast
xenon2456
so it started during the 4th console gen
Lylat97
Man I grew up with game informer. Very understandable in this day and age, but certainly sad nonetheless. Thanks for the memories, GI. o7
Docile_Doggo
Really sad the way game magazines (and magazines in general) have gone.
All these years later, and I’m still sad about Nintendo Power closing up. I’d love to have that magazine back.
jun2san
Isn’t this magazine owned by GameStop? Seems like they’re trying to cut costs in a lot of places
memeaste
I used to love getting their magazines in the mail from GameStop every month
Robby_Bortles
Well, at least this month’s EGM should arrive in my mailbox any day now!

That time I renewed my gamestop pro subscription just for the print magazine and they purposefully and unbeknownst to me changed it to a digital magazine subscription. Fuck you gamestop.
phareous
What the hell I just resubscribed because they kept sending me offers
Sumoop
I read so many of these over the years while taking a poo. Longest poo of my life.
No_Dig903
Welp, GameStop Pro goes down in value AGAIN.
jankarlothegreat
Were they not getting any subscribers or something? Why did they stop? I still loved getting these. It was my only reason in the past for getting powerup membership from GS
TheDoctorDB
Used to have a sub through GameStop but have just been getting individual issues that I liked lately, like Mario Wonder, Sonic Superstars and Frontiers.
I did like the fact that, if I so desired, a digital sub could get me access to every issue in the back catalogue. Only used it a handful of times to actually look at other issues but it was cool knowing I had the option.

Finally. I keep telling people there’s nothing more dangerous than an informed gamer. Maybe now we can have some peace of mind in the world.

I’ve gone on Game Informer’s website a couple times a week for at least twenty years. This is a bummer. A couple of my favorite internet Things ever came from Game Informer’s Super Replay series. The Overblood super replay was SO fun, and it created a Facebook community that I’m still on all these years later.
I just went to the website and it’s literally just this screen. I really hope their stuff gets archived somewhere, because otherwise it’s a massive loss.

But kotaku still lives… That’s a shame
DarkBomberX
End of an era
PikaPerfect
i understand why, given i used to read that magazine obsessively, but stopped a few years ago because i could get the exact same news online, but that’s still sad to hear
rip game informer, you were a real one for 10 – 19 year old me 😔
MundaneBaseball3
In 50 years my need to collect them will be worth something.
Pakmanjosh
No surprise given how much we’re moving away from physical media as a whole but damn that’s still a bummer. I remember getting super excited everytime E3 happened and Gameinformer would print a huge fancy issue for the event.
Swyfttrakk
Surprised it lasted this long. I thought they faded shortly after EGM’s reboot failed
Immediate_Island_474
Didn’t even know they still made these
TheShweeb
This looks to have been an incredibly sudden decision. [According to Kotaku](https://kotaku.com/game-informer-gamestop-meme-stock-gme-last-issue-1851611973) everyone on staff (except for one writer who is *actively on a work trip*) was first informed of the closing in an HR meeting *this morning*, work on the intended next issue was progressing normally, and the website is already completely shuttered with all links dead. Bizarre and upsetting situation.

Best magazines ever made.
Killahdanks1
Oh no. As a Minnesotan who used to manage a GameStop back in 2000 I knew Andy and Reiner all of those guys. Game Informer was awesome. Thanks guys.

It’s sad that gaming magazines are on their way out.
soivebeentold
Guess I should have taken upselling those subscriptions more seriously at Funcoland in the 90s
diy_a09
What a great run. I first received Game Informer as a free subscription in 1992-1993 when Funco was still doing game trade-ins via USPS…before the Funcoland stores even existed.
Reciprocitus
Feel like the end of an era, honestly.
Diehard Gamefan, EGM, Official Playstation Magazine, Nintendo Power, and now Game Informer.
We’ve lost so many good gaming ‘zines over the years.
MattofCatbell
I can’t say that I wasn’t expecting it but I’m still broken by the news. Game Informer was probably one of my favorite sources for video game info and interviews.

Go_Ninja_Go_Ninja_Go
Aww there goes my chances of getting into the GI spy photos at the beginning of the magazine.
