RIP GamePro Magazine

After 20-plus years of continuous publishing GamepPo magazine is closing shop on December 5th, as well as closing down their website the same day. I know for many people out there with a love for video games, before the internet GamePro pretty much one of the only sources for video game news and reviews. The magazine drastically deteriorated in quality over the years, but it’s still sad to see such a long running publication close house. There’s not that many places to write about video games professionally, and with GamePro calling it quits, there’s even fewer jobs in the video game journalism field.  Thanks for the memories GamePro.

Oh, this is sad. This is far worse than Napster.
