Having consulted in this space and knowing that ad rev for game journalism is almost nothing and that almost noone is inclined to pay a subscription for it I can understand the decision. I was involved with decision to close such a site several years ago based on a Wordpress platform. Ad rev usually but not always covered the platform fees and not much else. Certainly not any staff or writer compensation. It was a largish site with thousands of reviews, walkthroughs and articles. In the end I helped them convert it all to static files and a read only version was hosted for 6 additional months but then one of the various google updates toasted the small amount of rev they were getting and they turned the site off as more head/heart ache than value.
