It seems Game Informer’s death was… Greatly exaggerated

    I never cared for game informer. It always felt like GameStop was trying to shill it in order to sell subscriptions to a magazine that’s basically a giant advertisement for GameStop.

    Gimme those cooler magazines. Game Pro, Nintendo Power, PSM etc.

      I understand what you’re saying about Game Informer, but it’s hilarious you name Nintendo Power and PSM as alternatives, considering that.

      You don’t want a magazine that’s adverts but you like Nintendo Power and PSM…

        Those were the best ads tho. Game informer was just a GameStop ad. And GameStop always made me feel bad.

          So you like ads, just not GameStop ads? I mean, GI had a lot of info about games, too. Beyond Nintendo and PS, you could actually learn about PC games.
