GameStop’s abrupt closure of Game Informer came without explanation, laid-off employees previously told the Minnesota Star Tribune. The company also shut down its website and removed thousands of online articles that instead redirected to a farewell statement.
GameStop faced some backlash from readers and employees over the sudden elimination of decades of work.
Reached by phone Tuesday, Ben Hanson, a Game Informer video producer from 2010 through 2019, said he is interested to see what the world looks like now that the magazine is no longer owned by GameStop.
“It’s wild. It’s a dire time for games media,” said Hanson, who left Game Informer in 2019 to create MinnMax, a company that produces gaming podcasts.
