After a former Game Informer staffer used the site's social channels to post their own statement on GI's closure, GameStop nukes the account. (x.com)

That post was great too. What damage would it have done to leave it up?

Seriously. It's not controversial, doesn't say anything bad about getting shut down, nothing. It's just "thanks everyone who worked here".

A lot of companies do it, if they can control the spread of information, they can pretend that everything is fine for a few more months and maybe collect a bit more revenue making it slightly better for the stockholders.
