Gametap.com’s editorial and video departments are no more.

Media mogul Ted Turner pulled the plug on the site’s editorial and video departments and pink-slipped the staff, although the core of the site –subscription downloading of PC games– will keep running. “GameTap TV” original programs will apparently no longer be produced either.

GameTap Vice President of content Rick Sanchez said, “While we have been very happy with the work done by our editorial and video teams, we’ve made a decision to focus the business on our biggest strength, which is our game catalog. As a result, we will be restructuring the site to focus exclusively on gameplay.”
