Lastly, we want to highlight our former colleague and close friend, Blake Hester, who was affected by a corporate restructuring from our parent company this week. Blake's original reporting and responsibility as our working features editor have transformed Game Informer over the last three-and-a-half years into an outlet known for thoughtful reporting on games and the people making them.
