GameStop just abruptly shut down Game Informer and laid off its entire staff today. The impact this magazine had on the world cannot be understated bro. A lot of us would not be the gamers we are today without looking forward to these every month. This fucking sucks so bad.

Why it worked

Opens with a short, self-contained line that is easy to take in at a glance.
Ends on a short line that is easy to quote and repeat.
Written from experience rather than as advice, which is harder to argue with.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.
Short sentences keep the pace up, so the reader never has to re-read a line.

The mechanics

Hook: Plain observation
Structure: Hook → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: corporate
Written for: Hiring managers and founders
