I don’t know much about Game informers business, I think it was only in recent years that they allowed people to subscribe to the magazine online, instead of needing to visit a local game stop.
I don’t know if they were already doing this, but they should have made a app, so anybody who subscribed to get print issues, also got access to their archive of issues.

Game Informer's entire staff was fired by Gamestop without notice. According to Alex Van Aken , he backed up important files but that still leaves thousands of materials spanning years on the site that's inaccessible and unable to be backed up. Also speaking general people will manually have to request a refund if you purchased a subscription. Don't give the ghouls at Gamestop who did this to GI's staff any more money on that app.

I'm curious about the huge vault of physical games they had, plus merch. It sucked they didn't get to do a farewell magazine.
