Comment on Game Informer shuts down after 33 years
RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world 4 months agoWhen a business is closing many of its stores and shutting down a subsidiary that has been around for 30+ years with a pretty reputable name (instead of selling it, for example), thats usually a sign that the business is going to go bye bye in the near future.

the mag has been a loss leader used to drive traffic into the stores for preorders. it was always pretty slanted, I suspect it’s just been too expensive (as have all printed magazines lately) with too few subscribers to justify the outlay.
