GameTrailers closing its virtual doors after 13 years
Thanks for all of those awesome trailers, GameTrailers. You will be missed.
GameTrailers has announced after 13 years, it will be closing down today.
In a message sent out through its official Twitter profile, GameTrailers shared the following:
We'll be doing one last @Twitch stream tonight. 6 PM PT. Come on by.https://t.co/Zn9tZTrf7l

The account says the site will be doing one last Twitch stream tonight at 6pm PT, although it doesn’t give any additional information as to the reason behind the closing.
GameTrailers founder, voice, and editor-in-chief Brandon Jones also had the following to share regarding the closure:
Today is the last day of GameTrailers. I wish it wasn’t so. I love all of our fans like family. Thank you for letting me do this job.

According to associate editor Ben Moore who posted on NeoGAF, it appears the GameTrailers closing was as sudden as it was for the gaming community to hear it. “I just wanted to confirm that GameTrailers is shutting down officially today,” he writes in his post. “Everyone is being let go. We all found out mere hours ago, so we're still reeling a bit.”
We'll continue to update this story as more information comes in. All of us at Shacknews wish those affected by GameTrailers' closure the best of luck in your future endeavors.

Damn, I have a lot of good memories in my younger years checking that site every day. Gametrailers.com/screwattack was the first site I would go to most days. Mondays for Top 10s, Wednesdays for AVGN, and the retrospectives were awesome. I haven't visited the site for years, but I'll definitely miss it.
