CVG Officially Shutting Its Doors

In a Christmas punch-to-the-face, Future Publishing have officially decided to close down CVG, as we reported they probably would.

In a feature, editor Andy Robinson explains what is going on:

The current site will be closed and some content migrated in to the new GamesRadar+. Currently, no CVG writers will be part of the larger site.

As those of you who follow the trade media will know, it's been an uncertain year for the CVG team and our Future colleagues, with one round of consultation taking place in May, followed by a lengthy wait until the second this month.

During this time our parent company Future Publishing has transformed beyond recognition and in our London base virtually every one of our games colleagues have departed.

He then talks a little of his time at Computer & Video Games, then opens the floor to editors from the past. They include Paul Davies, Ed Lomas and Tim Ingham, who all speak fondly of the publication. 

It is an unfortunate day when a videogame magazine or website ends, and we at GameGrin bid them a fond farewell.
