An unknown former Game Informer staffer has posted what they consider a “genuine goodbye” on social media after the magazine surprisingly shuttered last week after 33 years. The new message implies that the farewell shared on August 2 wasn’t written by anyone at Game Informer.

On X, a “former Game Informer member” wrote that the magazine’s legacy deserved better than what was previously issued to the public. The new social media post ends with words from former editor-in-chief Matt Miller: “Be well. Play well.” Additionally, two images are attached that show off the “masthead from issue 368,” which was in production but won’t be finished. The screenshots highlight everyone on who staff who lost their jobs last week. The actual Game Informer X account was closed shortly after the message was shared, but GameSpot screen-grabbed it first.

Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier posted on X that he asked ChatGPT to create a “farewell for Game Informer” and it spit out a similar message to the one shared by Game Informer last week. Schreier also added images that compare the two goodbyes, though it hasn’t been confirmed that parent company GameStop used AI to make the message.

GameStop closed down Game Informer on August 2. The magazine started back in 1991 during the 16-bit era, becoming one of the quintessential video game publications for decades alongside competitors like EGM and GamePro. The last issue was 367, with Dragon Age: The Veilguard adorning the cover.

Earlier this year, Game Informer started offering standalone subscriptions for the first time. Previously, getting the magazine required either having a GameStop Pro membership or just buying individual issues at stores.

At the time of publication, the Game Informer website only features the parting message shared on August 2. That means previous cover stories and other content from the magazine’s long history are unavailable at this time.
