GameTrailers Closes After 13 Years

GameTrailers Closes After 13 Years

Here’s some news that may break some hearts. A long-running and popular game website is going away. GameTrailers has ended its run. The site abruptly shut down on February 8, 2016.

The news was posted to GameTrailers’ Facebook and Twitter accounts with no forewarning. Reasons for the closure were not announced. However, the Facebook statement said the site was happy to know it played a part in changing the face of games media by making video programming more popular.

This comes two years after GameTrailers was purchased by Defy Media. After the acquisition, layoffs occurred in 2014 and 2015. There’s no word on how long the official GameTrailers website will remain online, following the news.
