    My grandfather used to get Game Informer every month. It was a big part of my childhood.

        I think I still have copies of GMR around here…….from my nostalgic memory I thought they were the better publication.

          I still get the physical copies. Hopefully now the employee will hand out the old copies for free. They always have a shit ton of back copies on hand since not a lot of people know you can get them at your local Game Stop.

      WTF I just went into my local GameStop today to pick up the lasted issue. Only reason I sign up for Game Stop bullshit 25 dollars a year. If I can’t get my Game Informer I won’t be going into Game Stop or pay them 25 dollars a year.

    GameStop is barely turning a profit and often records losses. This isn’t shocking, since I doubt it made money
