Wow that’s a chunk of my childhood gone.
That sucks of them, Game Informer was something of an institution. I still remember buying their magazines as a kid and they had plenty great exclusives too
Sounds like a bunch of bitches.
Not very Super Stonk of GameStop.
I can understand why media sometimes stops being produced but it feels malicious to remove it the way that they have been lately. The thing is, I don’t know why they’re being malicious. Other than hosting & bandwidth costs it doesn’t hurt anything to keep it there and as infrequently as old articles get accessed I can’t image those costs are significant.

Look how they’ve massacred my boy
GameStop circling the drain if they’re counting pennies like this.
“Bet y’all wish you bought a physical copy now”
Another reminder that anything you don’t have a local copy of is subject to being removed from your access at any time. Companies are not to be trusted to archive their media and make sure becomes available to the public when they are gone. Movies, TVs, games, books, music, anything else that is published – It is up to the public to make sure things live on.
I usually comment on these articles for english practice and it was sad to see how gameinformer had no traction whatsoever on this regard, 90% of their articles had no comments at all. Meanwhile IGN publishes inflammatory articles focused on “culture wars” and that generates thousands of comments. Sometimes the internet can be a hellhole regardless if you try to avoid Twitter and other similar platforms
So, it was fine to use their articles, but not to link to them. Got it.
Oh no. However will we live without these sycophantic game previews of gun skins and 7.0 reviews of non-working garbage.
