The MinnMax Show - Inside The End Of Game Informer

Welcome to a special episode of The MinnMax Show. On this week's episode, Ben Hanson, Kyle Hilliard, and Leo Vader are joined by Alex Van Aken, Marcus Stewart, and Charles 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.

That ending was incredible. Well done.

Jack Graves

In a world of studio closures and mass layoffs — it was incredibly heartwarming to hear that MinnMax is extending work to some of the affected GI crew while they transition.

This was incredible! I laughed so hard with you all my face hurts. Wishing great next steps for everyone!

Will H.

Would minnmax ever put out a magazine like GI? Haven’t finished listening so idk they address this

That means a lot, thank you! We're trying.

Ben Hanson

MinnMax is really proving to be the heart of games media. Whether it’s celebrating the industry like you’re doing with GameInformer, or bringing the industry together with your excellent podcast guests, it really feels like y'all are the future 🙏🏼

I wish Marcus could finish the hot wing Sekiro challenger!!!!!!

Big thanks to Kyle for the email addresses to get a refund for my remaining Game Informer subscription. I emailed both addresses on Thursday (8/8) at 6:48 AM PST and got a response and my refund at 7:49 AM same day. I’m shocked. I am positive I would not have received a refund without specifically asking for it. “Don’t let GameStop keep your money!” ~ Ben Hanson. Using the money I got back to buy SteamWorld Heist II on Steam. Thanks, Kyle, Ben, and the rest of the guys. Fuck GameStop. MinnMax 5 Eva! Be good. Have fun. Let’s fucking gooooooo!!!

Phil DeGrave

Nicolas T.
