Game Informer is shutting down

Today is a bittersweet day in the gaming world as we say goodbye to the legendary publication Game Informer. After an incredible 33 years, the magazine announced the cessation of publication. It's very sad that Game Informer magazine is going away! She has been a part of our acting lives for so long. It all started in August 1991 when it was just a simple internal FuncoLand newsletter. It's amazing to think that it is now the longest running video game magazine in the world! By 2011, it had become the third largest magazine in the US, with a strong presence in both print and online.

Obvestilo je bilo za mnoge precejšen šok, zlasti glede na nenadno naravo ukinitve. Za ekipo je bil žalosten dan, ko so jih odpustili ravno takrat, ko so bili tik pred dokončanjem naslednje številke, ki je po besedah Kyla Hilliarda, vsebinskega direktorja revije, obljubljala “VELIKO naslovnico”. Zaposleni, ki so svojo kariero posvetili zagotavljanju novic, recenzij in vpogleda v nenehno razvijajoči se svet iger, so bili o zaprtju in odpuščanju obveščeni na nenadnem sestanku s podpredsednikom kadrovskega oddelka podjetja GameStop. To je bil težak trenutek za vse vpletene.

The consequences of Game Informer's closure are felt far and wide, and go beyond job losses. It's the end of an era of games journalism that has left a huge void for gamers who have relied on the publication for three decades. Game Informer was much more than just a magazine. It was the hub of the community, connecting players with all the latest developments in the industry and providing a platform for in-depth analysis and discussion.

When you think about all the amazing things Game Informer magazine has done for gaming culture, it's so clear that the publication has left a huge and lasting impact on the industry. It's a stark reminder of how the media landscape is changing and the challenges print publications face in the digital age. But the love of games that Game Informer brought to life will always remain in our hearts and in the hearts of all gamers.
