Game Informer Editor-In-Chief Says Goodbye After GameStop Deletes Previous Message
Last week, it was announced that Game Informer would be closing its doors after 33 years in operation, a decision made by the site’s parent company, GameStop. Shortly thereafter, a former staffer used the publication’s official Twitter account to offer a “genuine goodbye,” but Game Informer’s Twitter account was deleted within minutes of the post. Now, former editor-in-chief Matt Miller has taken to Twitter to share his own official goodbye message with readers and former colleagues alike.
“33 years is a long time,” Miller stated. “When thinking about saying goodbye to Game Informer, I felt that a few days of consideration were warranted to get my thoughts in order. I’m glad I waited. The outpouring of affection, support, and appreciation the team has received in recent days is humbling, it has reminded me how much this long-running magazine has meant to so many.”
I’ve never been big into posting social media, preferring to let our official channels speak for themselves. But I wanted to share a final message from this departing Editor-in-Chief. pic.twitter.com/QEDv2b1RcK

Miller’s post goes on to thank the long-running publication’s many employees, contributors, and collaborators for their work, and also provides a glimpse into Miller’s plans for the future.
