Game Informer Is Shutting Down

In a shocking bit of news this morning, GameStop announced that it will shut down Game Informer, its in-store games magazine, after 33 years. The decision seems to be a snap judgment by CEO and all-around imbecile Ryan Cohen, who is currently being sued for $47 for insider trading by Bed, Bath, and Beyond parent company Overstock.com. The final issue of the magazine will be number 367, which features Dragon Age: The Veilguard on its cover.

Living in the area of Wood Dale, I am always on the hunt to try somewhere local and support them. I remember trying Elio Pizza several years ago and I was not really impressed with the food. However, my biggest complaint was the atmosphere created by the employees. My first interaction felt very cliquey, with preferential treatment given to people they knew instead of new customers.

This Popular Italian Restaurant in Addison has lost my business for good—no more Chances.

Most who actually love gaming, rather than the tribalism that comes with it, will admit that the 'Console Wars' are silly and childish. To breathe life into them ever-slightly, it's fair to say that on the grand scale of things, PlayStation is usually the company among the big three that tends to come out on top more often than not, with the biggest swaying factor being the long list of PlayStation exclusives over the years.
