The video game magazine 4players had been active since May 2000 and had actually ceased editorial operations on October 31. Now the website is continuing with a new editorial team under the well-known name. How, where, when and in which constellation this will take place remains to be seen for the time being.

New editorial office takes over under the old name

For the well-known video game magazine, which, according to its own information, wrote over 14,500 reports, posted around 220,000 news online and published more than 60,000 videos between May 2000 and October 2021, according to a statement on its own account, “Interested parties for continued operation“Of the gaming portal.

4Players GmbH was founded in 2012 by Computec Media and is a subsidiary of Switzerland-based Marquard Media Group, which operates websites such as PC Games, Buffed, Golem and PC Games Hardware that are active in the fields of IT, hardware, software and video games.

Clear criticism on social media

On social media such as Twitter, the new “4Players” is not only gaining popularity and is faced with clear criticism. Former editors such as Jörg Luibl also speak up tellingly.

An editorial office is terminated. On October 31 the last article should go online. One wants to concentrate “completely on server hosting, software development”. On November 1st it is announced that the magazine will be continued “with a new captain on board”. This is how business works.

The reactions are hardly surprising, because on August 23, 4Players GmbH announced that it would concentrate on its B2B core business in the future. The “new” 4Players will in all probability no longer take place under the umbrella of 4Players GmbH, since otherwise the dismissal of the old editorial team would very likely have legal consequences.

4Players will now fully concentrate on its core business such as server hosting, software development and other services. Instead of looking at finished games from the outside, we want to enable developers and game publishers worldwide to develop and operate more social, interactive and complex games by offering turnkey, easy-to-integrate building blocks for all gaming platforms.

In another post about the short message service Twitter, Jörg Luibl becomes clearer again and indicates that he and his colleagues have already made the trip to the specialist lawyer for labor law behind them.

Because even if the “interested party” should ultimately be from another company, this step obviously offends the former editorial team. According to Jörg Luibl, he and his colleagues only found out today that the website is to be continued under new management.

We have everything behind us.

Many more tweets and replies to the tweet by the former 4Players editor show that many players and colleagues from the industry show solidarity with the authors who were dismissed on October 31.
