Abstract

GamePro was one of the longest-running American video game magazines, published continuously from May 1989 until the end of 2011. The magazine was originally published by SuperPlay, before being acquired by IDG Communications after the first issue.

GamePro continued to operate as an independent unit of IDG until the magazine was dissolved in Winter 2011, following a final issue which attempted to pivot the magazine from a monthly to quarterly format.
