GamePro, we reported exclusively back in July, shifted its strategy to become a quarterly publication. That experiment, sadly did not work too well, as we've now learned that the November quarterly issue will be the last one ever, and the GamePro website will be shuttered as well (as of December 5). An IDG spokesman told IndustryGamers that the ad dollars just weren't there, and unfortunately layoffs of staff are being implemented - the spokesman declined to tell us how many were being let go.

Don't think we have GamePro over here in the UK, so this is news to me.

Never even heard of GamePro, I never read magazines because I'm not gay.

I read their editorial about why they hate the Vita. All they talked about were smartphones. Not even smartphones in general, they referred to them by name. It's almost like they hate games in general. I bet /v/ is mourning their loss.
