    Good. It was just garbage to con you into their paid club. Every month, they would announce things in it that we learned on the Internet weeks before.

    Good riddance to some bad rubbish.

        There are too many people on the planet, can’t care about them all.

          Please be(e) nice when on our instance. You can not like the publication, but it isn’t nice to be callous towards people losing their jobs

    Bummer. Game Informer was the leading game magazine when Game Pro and Nintendo Power were around, though? I think not. Game Informer was third fiddle at best.

      Let’s compare circulation numbers:

      • Game Pro: 558,269 (2003)
      • Nintendo Power: 435,000 (2005)
      • Game Informer: 1,994,488 (2006)

      I’d say they led by a few copies (edit: for the mid-2000s!)
