Game Informer, the longest running video games magazine in the United States, will shut down after 33 years of operation, the publication announced.

Damn. I grew up with print media, there was a great feeling in reading about games that were coming and seeing the photos long before they were available.

Waiting for fatality guides for the new MK’s, seeing what Sushi-X’s and Quarterman latest rumors were.

Wondering what next months Nintendo Power cover would be.

Nostalgia is a hell of a drug but print media never stood a chance in the modern climate. Especially as resources get more constrained and readers continue to decline.

I will always miss real, written journalism though. It feels like we are never going back to that, even online.
