No joke I used this thing every week even after leaving GI. Such a workhorse post that took a lot of dedication to keep up to date. What other lists do you like using to stay abreast of new releases?

Rest in Peace the Game Informer 2024 game release calendar. You were a workhorse of this industry

The aftermath of this story is wild.
8 Aug 2024
Several Game Informer cover story games never saw the light of day, including Rainbow 6: Patriots.
Here's a video (from 2020) with @mattbertz where we talk about seeing the controversial game early and its wild journey. youtu.be/RMw9xrtj9EY

don't forget that with Game Informer gone, GameStop has also taken the most important game journalist of all time from us all: Darth Clark

What a tasteless final act from a craven, soulless company.

We can’t access the website to backup our years of work. It’s just a landing page now.

This is the worst. GI was a special place filled with special people. Many of them would dramatically improve your gaming company, so scoop them up! Their skills and understanding of the industry make them ideal fits for brand, marketing, research, and comms positions

Last week I flew to Boston to play 6 hours of Judas, and then @geoffkeighley, who joined me, and I interviewed @levine for over an hour about the long wait since BioShock Infinite, Judas's bold narrative bet, and more.
The full interview drops on IGN tomorrow at 9am PT/12pm ET!

💖Unfortunately, I was one of the Rioters who was impacted by today's layoffs. I absolutely love my team and my heart goes out to everyone else impacted.
If your team is looking for concept artists, here's my portfolio, feel free to message ~

I'm a talented editor/writer ✨looking for work✨. I was one of the many laid off from Fanbyte a few weeks ago. Up until the last few days, I was supposed to have a good job lined up in games media, but the offer was rescinded due to them not wanting to sponsor my work visa.

Love this idea and can't wait to read it and find all the typos for Javy, emailing him every time I uncover a new one.
