Joystiq has been one of several major gaming journalism outlets reporting on gaming news over the years, now it looks like this major outlet will be officially closing their doors. After 1UP was absorbed into IGN, the number of games journalism outlets are slowly diminishing.
To be honest, I didn't follow Joystiq as avidly as I did IGN, but it's still sad that all these fellow geeks who share a common interest with me will be facing uncertainty in an already uncertain job market.
Official: @Joystiq is no more. Got some talented people looking for work. Plz RT, pass to HR. LinkedIn staff list: https://t.co/pWHAmFH2JH
