GamePro shutting down

In difference with GameSpot they weren't taking money from developers for their reviews and that lead to their end. RIP GamePro!

This along with other major News publications are doing the same, except they are at least going digital, leaving room for some employees to be redeployed to other positions in the new and restructured company.

I feel sad for the employees that were not able to obtain a new job position in the company.  Lots of lay-offs.  

Its sad to see them go but times have changed. I have so many memories of gamepro when i was a kid. I couldnt wait for the next issue to come every month and i read the magazine from cover to cover. It was good while it lasted. RIP GamePro!! Shout to @Barbara Peterson Waples for keeping me subscribed when i didnt have my own money. Thanks Mom!!

so sad gamepro is dead 

I used to subscribe to gamepro during my childhood. It was nintendo power and gamepro. Nothing was better than checking the mail box and seeing my new issue of gamepro. GAMEPRO! you will be missed.

Official Xbox magazine is the one that needs to close. That "magazine" was nothing but ads with a small article tucked in every 10-12 pages.

**** you US citizens for not buying this magazine... Used to be my favorite mag when I was a kid, Would've bought it every month if I lived in the US. Loved their massive summer special issues. No digital site/magazine can ever be as fulfilling as holding that magazine in your hands and reading it page by page while you're lying in your bed, without goddamn ipads or whatever shining its headache lights at your face...

i feel very nostalgic. . .farewell GAMEPRO!

For the best issue of EGM btw check out their Holiday 2004 issue.

I'll miss Gamepro and I'm sorry that I did not visit their website more or buy their magazine more often. I did buy it for many years back in my youth and my library always had many in the magazine section of the adult and teenage department in Midlothian, IL. With that said I look forward to PC GAMER, EGM and other magazines to carry on the legacy of Gamepro. p.s. I miss Computer Gaming World as well!

while i cant say i found gamepro to be very trustworthy, especially concerning game reviews..i do have fond memories of reading that mag. RIP gamepro you will be missed.

What's GamePro?

boohoo, it should've been game informer.

Aren't pretty much all print magazines and newspapers dying? It's only a matter of time before everything is digital.

I remember reading issues of Gamepro when it featured SNES and Genesis games... the good 'ol days

well since egm came back maybe gamepro will 2 we can only hope though I have always liked egm more

damn that sucks... one of my first gaming mags i ever bought was a gamepro :(.. RIP GAMEPRO

Wow. I can't believe it. They have been around for such a long time too. They always had some excellent articles. I am sure GamePro magazine will be missed.

@Fetus_Crusher: Yes, 20 years was how long EGM was around.

Hey, at least we can watch and enjoy the cheesiness of Gamepro TV on youtube, and read our old issues of Gamepro. I will never forget Scary Larry.

Bummer, read it on and off when I was younger.

reality hits you hard bro

Protip: This sucks.

GamePro's been a great magazine through the years. Very depressing. Always had honest opinions. Sucks

I can't believe it's gone. R.I.P. GamePro! Thanks for the memories!

Back in '86 I started buying my first computer (with games section) magazine "Svet Kompjutera". During war in ex-Yugoslavia I missed maybe 10 issues since '93-'95. I still buy it as a collectible though most news and reviews can be read online.

Started in 89' and was just shy of 20 year anniversary?

wow. When I was kid I used to read nintendo power. I started with about the 10th magazine ever. As I grew up and moved to genesis I read gamepro for years.

But I will defiantly miss The Watch Dog who was the only one giving the info on Broken, problem games, and advice on consoles games.

I miss Tips N Tricks mags more then Gamepro mags because Tips was my first mag before Gamepro. Thanks for the great time Gamepro and many more.

@dynomitemasta thx mom

Pretty sad. For me in the 90s, EGM was #1. Gamepro was a distant 2 but still sad to see them go.

GamePro is a joke nowadays, it's good that they're going under. Anyone see the SWTOR preview they put out? It was hilarious. "Alliance side, also known as the blue side" >.>

@SauhlGood Hot Dogs don't go stale, but they can go bad... and as you probably found out, bad meat can make you very sick. Are you an orphan? If not, your parents should be jailed for feeding you that kind of nonsense... balanced meals are an important part of long life and good health. Just ask Slim Goodbody

@boiardee14 It's nice to see a company that doesn't just crank out sequels until they finally dig themselves into a hole and then just kill the franchise. They obviously care about this franchise based on the resulting game so why rush into a sequel if they aren't ready?

@Icehearted i was subscribed to SWATpro, you know... their all tips magazine. my mom said 25 bucks for gamepro was expensive, but i would always go to the grocery store and read it every month or just buy a copy with my allowance. when i got older, i would buy a copy and egm from walgreens when i left school. i will admit i subscribed to game informer because the gamestop folks always pressured me into getting it but i never really read it. i always read gamepro, and i will miss it. man, everything from my youth is gone.

Thats wack as hell....GamePRO was legit, them and EGM both. R.I.P. 2+ decades monthly gaming memories.

goodbye to my youth although the only real mag i still read from time to time is pc gamer, and they are trying to stay alive with digital distribution.

I have to admit that I'm a little saddened by this. I had a subscription throughout the 90s and read each issue cover to cover. Man I loved role players realm.

I still have GP number 1. It's been a fun 22 years. But that's the way it is, printed media succumbing to digital media. I wonder how long it's going to be before Nintendo Power follows suit.

aww my youth..stale hotdogs, cheese n' nachos, slurpee machines near the broken SF/MK arcade, and reading/borrowing EGM's and GamePro's rip gamepro

I miss the day of the printed mag, i still have the final fantasy 8 tip book (mag) sadly the only real mag i still read sometimes is pc gamer.

Eh, I wasn't ever a big fan of GamePro, but it does suck that another gaming magazine has bitten the dust.

That's a shame. I always liked GamePro and EGM.

I actually like Game Informer and Play much better than either GamePro or EGM. The latter 2 were good in the early days because they re all there was. But as time went on, and newer mags came about and the internet hit with a bang, they never modernized there style, always looking like the outdated choice. But farewell GamePro... you helped bring us where we are today and you will always be known as a founding pillar in Video Game news and reviews. R.I.P.
