Poorly disguised Native Advertising
Uninstalled as soon as I read the Concord “article” praising it & calling it a good game. When GameStop’s game magazine spends more time hyping up AAAA slop that is so universally hated that it goes offline in 2 weeks, you know that this magazine isn’t here to talk about good games. It’s clearly just poorly disguised Native Advertising that GameStop wants to hype up to drive preorders. Sadly I only found a few pages talking about actual good indies as most of the page space is dedicated to advertising AAA/AAAA titles from major publishers.
In addition, the last article from September 2024’s issue was an interview with Eli Roth for the awful Borderlands movie. In that article, he admits he hadn’t played video games since the 70s, got the big actors to perform in it because they owed him favors & hyped up the props more than the actual script (since he probably knew it was just a Guardians of the Galaxy ripoff). It’s clear that this “magazine” has more in common with GameStop’s catalog rather than actual journalism. Don’t bother reading it!

RIP
I’m sad to see you guys go. I had fond memories of reading Game Informer as a child and getting hyped for whatever was coming next from your magazine. Just know that I’ve always been a fan and I’ll never forget you
Current trends in the gaming world
I was especially pleased with the feature that allows users to view video game reviews directly within the application. This makes it easier to get a more comprehensive understanding of a game's features and helps users make an informed decision before purchasing it.
Terrible!
Almost as bad as GameStop!... WOW THE 2 go HAND AND HAND! By the way it was always $15 for a year of GameStop Pro membership back when you use to get a phisical copy of Game Informer in your mailbox, delivered by the postal delivery person!! No longer the case!! Just get cheated out of issues by a TERRIBLE APP! And now get charged $25 by GameStop for, $5 a month you can barely use!! First they took the magazine... the rest is a slow death... shame shame!!!$$$!!!:(:(

What Happened?!?!
I used to be able to view the digital magazine with my GameStop Pro membership but now the My Account pages shows a constant error to which it doesn’t allow me to sign in. I’ve even tried deleted and reinstalling the app. Now it says I have to pay for issues when I should be subscribed. I have an iPhone 15 with the latest iOS software. Please fix this app!!!

What a rip off
So now instead of getting the physical copy we’re forced to look at the magazine on the computer or our phones and still pay the same price as if we’re getting the physical copy? It constantly crashes and I’ve been a member for two years and I have to pay $5 a copy to see it on the computer when I’ve been subbed all year???? This is not even about the consumers anymore and just a money grab with crap content sent out. I also got charged more at GameStop for my pro membership that is completely pointless to have if I don’t get the physical copy of the magazine, that is the ONLY REASON I sign up for the pro membership with GameStop, your games are overpriced garbage and you pay nothing for trade Ins, id rather go online and buy the games at a fraction of what you charge. I was rooting for GameStop to not go under but after all of this nonsense I couldn’t care less and I hope they do, I will never buy a gamestop pro membership or game informer memberships ever again after this subscription is over. I’ve been a loyal customer for over 15 years, I’ll happily take my business elsewhere! ✌🏻

Done with GameStop
GameStop used to be my favorite store. One of my favorite things every month was getting the Game Informer magazine in the mail that came with the pro membership. This year they auto-renewed my membership and stopped doing the printed magazines and didn’t let anyone know. There’s no where on game informer or GameStop websites stating that they’ve stopped offering the print magazine subscriptions. I don’t like digital magazines and would have been willing to pay more for a subscription to the printed magazine.

No subscription found
Despite having purchased a GameStop power up pro membership, and, despite my membership, perks, clearly showing a subscription to Game Informer, trying to activate, my subscription only shows me old ones from last year, and does not give me access to the subscription I currently have. I am effectively paying for nothing.

Still no digital magazine access 5 weeks after sign up for my PRO subscription…
The app AND Game Informer website constantly gave me errors and “subscription not found”. I’m signed in and it still says I don’t have a subscription. I signed up for a PRO Gamestop membership last month and the app/website will still not recognize my subscription. Customer service is terrible and has not helped. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

Uninformed
While viewing an issue of the magazine you realize you are done and want to return to the menu but for some reason this app has decided it can only direct you to subscribe, an ad for something else, or simply having to restart the whole thing it becomes apparent they would prefer you cancel your subscription and visit a competitor instead. The built in apps have figured out how to do it, get it together GameStop/GameInformer. As I feel held back, not informed.
