MinnMax's Ben Hanson, Kyle Hilliard, and Leo Vader are joined by Game Informer's lead video producer Alex Van Aken, associate editor Marcus Stewart, and associate editorCharles Harte to unpack all of their thoughts, feelings, and insight into the end of Game Informer. GameStop shut down the beloved magazine after 33 years last Friday, this episode is about celebrating the final years of the magazine and sharing as much insight as we can without risking anybody's severance package. This episode also contains the final episode of The Game Informer Show inside of it. Then we get to some great community questions for even more reminiscing. We will be creating bonus content with these folks here at MinnMax and paying them, so thanks for all of the support on Patreon. https://www.patreon.com/minnmax
