Staff at the magazine, which also publishes a website, weekly podcast, and online video documentaries about game studios and developers, were all called into a meeting on Friday with parent company GameStop’s VP of HR. In it they were told the publication was closing immediately, they were all laid off, and would begin receiving severance terms. At least one staffer was in the middle of a work trip when the team was told. https://kotaku.com/game-informer-gamestop-meme-stock-gme-last-issue-1851611973

I've subscribed to it before (10+ years ago) and it was a decent little mag to get hyped about new releases. Sucks to see another gaming mag / gaming site die.
 
Gamestop should know better with their share price being inflated as a meme stock from Redditors who love Gamestop. The Redditors are the reason it's at $21/share instead of <$1. And they are not going to like this.
 
Honestly, I'm surprised gaming magazines, on paper, released once a month, are still a thing to begin with.
 
yeah print magazines, especially gaming, is basically all but extinct. But also some big online sites struggle to make it work.
 
So Game Informer shuts down and the world's trading markets crash. WTF I should have bought some magazines.
