Der stetig härter werdende Spiele-Magazin/Webseiten Markt findet ein weiteres Opfer. GameTrailers ist heute das letzte Mal online, danach wird die Seite nur mehr eine wohlige Erinnerung sein. Seit 13 Jahren versorgen sie uns Spieler mit Trailern, Videos und Reviews. Auch wir haben oft genug Videos von Ihnen geteilt, besonders als das Medium YouTube und Twitch noch in der Aufbau Phase war.

In diesem Sinne! Vielen Dank für 13 Jahre objektive und hervorragende Berichterstattung.

GameTrailers farewell message on Facebook

After 13 years, GameTrailers is closing down today.

When GameTrailers was founded in 2002, internet video was a revolutionary concept. YouTube wouldn’t be founded for another three years; consumer live streaming was nine years away. Back then, online game journalism was still dominated by text articles and static imagery. The most prestigious coverage still happened in print. If you wanted to watch a show about video games, you had to watch it on a special TV station that had 10 shows.

GameTrailers helped change all that. Today, game journalism is dominated by video: trailers, live gameplay, Let’s Plays, and news shows. Now there are millions of hours of content available at any time on your PC, your game console, your TV, and your phone.

We’re proud we helped bring this world into being. That is the legacy of GameTrailers. We're grateful to all of our fans who helped make us successful. Thank you for your continued support over the years. It has been an adventure.
