Immediately following the announcement of Bungie’s layoffs and reorganization comes another clear sign of the crisis that is affecting the video game industry: the sad news of the official closure of Game Informer is bouncing around the internet.
Founded in August 1991 by FuncoLand and acquired by GameStop in 2000, Game Informer is closing its doors for good after hosting some of the most prestigious names in video game journalism for 33 years, offering fans an infinite number of reviews, previews, insights and opinion pieces that have helped make GI a true point of reference for the entire sector, with covers engraved in the memory of millions of fans.
The Game Informer editorial team has published an open letter on social media describing the closure of this vital gaming journalism outlet as “The Final Level: After 33 exciting years of bringing you the latest news, reviews, and insights from the ever-evolving world of gaming, it is with heavy hearts that we announce the closure of Game Informer. From the early days of pixel-art adventures to the immersive and realistic virtual realms of today, we have been honored to share this incredible journey with you, our loyal readers. While our presses may stop, the passion for gaming that we have cultivated together with you will live on. Thank you so much for joining us on this epic journey, and we hope your adventures never end.”
