My grandfather used to get Game Informer every month. It was a big part of my childhood.
- Probably before gamestop bought it and made it corporate. Used to be a rebelious magazine in the 90s.
  
  I think I still have copies of GMR around here…….from my nostalgic memory I thought they were the better publication.

Bummer
- WTF I just went into my local GameStop today to pick up the lasted issue. Only reason I sign up for Game Stop bullshit 25 dollars a year. If I can't get my Game Informer I won't be going into Game Stop or pay them 25 dollars a year.
  
  It’s literally the only reason I ever had the pro account. The only reason. Ever since Andy left….

GameStop is barely turning a profit and often records losses. This isn’t shocking, since I doubt it made money
