GameInformer was awesome in the early 2000s.

Then they started trying too hard to modernize it and make it more professional and it became a boring read.

Well I think he's retiring from game journalism, not necessarily from all journalism.

Damn that's crazy. Probably knows Game Informer is dying and just getting the fuck outta there.

Kinda figured he'd go down with the magazine.

I had a subscription for a few years in the early '00s. Threw them away during a move a few years ago, and I kinda regret it. I had stuff like the GTA San Andreas reveal, for one.

Im the exception then. Ive read quite a few of McNamaras editorials. I appreciated that he kept them fairly short and to the point.

Wow, that's big news. I wonder why he's leaving? I still remember when he was Andy, the Game Hombre...

I miss when there were three or four responses for every game.

I still have stacks of those in my basement going all the way back to when they first did Aladdin for the genesis.

I was wrong. Turns out he's still going to be in the games industry hes just going away from GI and journalism.

Game informer is the last one. They only survived because they are owned by GameStop. Yet I figured with GameStop's financial problems they would have ended GI by now.

EGM is still around. They only do like 3 issues a year though, all web-based.
