Gamestop is dying a slow death: lays off over 100 people, nearly half of Game Informer´s staff

I think Gamestop's decline has been vastly overestimated. They are actually cash flow positive and despite having a lose in 2019, it was the result of amortized goodwill. They aren't going to go away anytime soon. That said, they will need to do some restructuring to bounce back.

As for Game Informer, it's too be expected. Game magazines are pointless now and as a website it's going to have to compete with every Youtuber out there. With the company having some trouble, not much use to hold on to a relic of the late 90s/early 2000s.

Their content is far better than the average youtuber's though. They aren't PCGamer, IGN, or some other shill outlet. 

Maybe, but to your average joe they are probably going to get there news and opinions from Youtube. I think a lot of Youtubers have an easier time relating to their audience since gaming isn't their job per say and journalist have a problem of seeing themselves as insiders. Just look at how the gaming public trashes on ResetERA. We could argue quality but I think the issue may be more 1)It's good enough in comparison and 2)They can relate better to the average gamer.
