While the internet continues to debate the official closure of Game Informer, it’s interesting to note that the latest video published by the newspaper features the gun-wielding squirrel from Squirrel with a Gun, an indie title now close to release.
Without taking anything away from Squirrel with a Gun and the effort put in by Daniel DeEntremont in shaping this bizarre sandbox shooter experience centered on the exploits of a gunslinging squirrel, which, we recall, will be released on August 29 on Steam and later on PlayStation and Xbox, the most debated topic among fans could only be the farewell to Game Informer, with the video game industry bidding farewell to the historic magazine.
The black screen that we can admire in the final sequences of the Squirrel with a Gun video published by Game Informer, in fact, suggests the impossibility of the (now ex) members of the staff of the newspaper to insert in the video in question the inevitable reminders to the subsequent trailers that, presumably, were in progress. It is no coincidence, therefore, that many are referring to this video to repeat the statements made on social media by some ex-employees of Game Informer who report having been fired without any warning.
There are also those, like the former Video Lead of Game Informer Alex Van Aken, who explains that he no longer has access to the GI website to back up the articles and multimedia material transferred to the database of the site of the journalistic publication founded in 1991 by FuncoLand and passed under the aegis of GameStop in 2000. It is enough to open the Game Informer website, in fact, to realize that all the contents of the portal are obscured by a homepage that only features the open letter shared by the GI editorial team to announce the closure of this historic reality of video game journalism 33 years after its foundation.
