Game Informer magazine closes, with all staff losing their jobs and the website wiped

operated by struggling retailer GameStop as a marketing vehicle

This part always felt a little weird to me. I can remember back in the early 2000’s often being offered a Game Informer subscription when buying things at a GameStop… I think they finally got me into one for a year by giving me some sort of discount on whatever it was I was buying. It felt to me like the GameStop employees were required to push magazine subscriptions.
