By now we probably need a concept like “grief in late stage capitalism” or some such thing: The constant mourning for lost achievements/(art) works/creative teams/… because of capitalist greed.
It’s our fault. When’s the last time you bought a magazine? The last Game Informer I bought was at an airport over 20 years ago.
Although I think they could have at least tried to salvage it by letting everyone know months earlier to give nostalgia fans a chance to save it. Make it Game Informer Quarterly or even Game Informer 2024.
I was an avid Nintendo power reader back in the day, does anyone have nostalgia for game informer? Iirc it was a bit more advertisement heavy.
Ah, good toilet reading before mobile phones filled that niche. Used to get a subscription as part of their rewards or something program…it was pretty good but you had to take all the reviews with a grain off salt…
That’s a bummer, I was pretty happy to see it when I signed up for whatever the power pro club is or whatever and I got it for free, it was put together just as well as it had been 20 years ago, there was a lot of effort and talent put into its pages.
But around every corner there’s a blog with more research into any topic within that magazine and the magazine could ever keep up with…all content…so…ot’s been real, GI.
Hats off
Oh dangit. The only magazine I subscribed to. Only like 30 bucks a year. Thanks for the good content over the many years
