I was looking through this month's GI and noticed a little piece on Paul Anderson's passing. I was more shocked, at how little was mentioned of him in the magazine. This guy was GI from the beginning and it's such a shame they didn't do more than just mention his passing in the mag.

Late Tuesday evening, Paul Anderson, friend and staff member of Game Informer magazine passed away after a long time battle with ALS, or as it is more commonly known, Lou Gehrig¹s disease.

Paul began his career at Game Informer as a writer with issue number five in 1992, where he kept a watchful eye on the industry until he moved to the circulation department in 2001. As the circulation manager at Game Informer, Paul was instrumental in moving the magazine from its humble beginnings to the 23rd largest consumer magazine in the country.
His contributions to our company and to our lives are unmatched.

He was a dear friend, and will be greatly missed by all who were lucky enough to have known him. From Paul¹s classic reviews of Resident Evil to his involvement with our forum community, Game Informer would not be what it is today without his passion for games and gamers.
Paul was 38 years old, and leaves behind his wife Sarah, daughter Elsa, and son Beck. Words cannot express how much we love and will miss Paul.

Condolences to the family. I never really read GI, but he sounded like a good person. Another case of a good person, dying well before his time.

That is a huge bummer. I like the staff of GI, especially the old school guys like him and Andy and Reiner.

Wasn't he "The Game Professor"?
