The Bobby Blackwolf Show

902 - 08/04/24 Bobby Blackwolf Show - Game Informer and Bungie Layoffs, Translation Site Taken Offline

  • Gamestop has shut down Game Informer magazine, laid off all of its writers, taken all of its content offline, and used AI to generate a farewell post.
  • Bungie has laid off or transferred another 17% of their workforce in what was described as "inevitable" due to previous spending.
  • A popular resource for video game translations and homegrown fixes for classic games has been taken offline by its owner.
  • We discuss if there is a lack of gaming news because there is a lack of actual gaming news sites, with consumers gravitating more towards personalities and influencers, while actual journalists leave the gaming industry or the media field all together.
  • Then we talk to Rob about No Man's Sky and the lack of gaming news.
