It's the end of an era. Prima already bought out BradyGames a while ago, so with Prima shutting down, we've now lost the two big players players in strategy guides. I'll be the first to admit that I've been poking fun at the quality of Prima for decades, since some of their guides have left much to be desired, and I can't remember the last time I bought a brand new Prima guide, but nevertheless, it was nice to know they were still around. If I'm not mistaken, the only companies still doing English print guides now are in Europe, so with this, the strategy guide market in the US is dead. I can't say I'm surprised, with how people are turning their noses up to print books in general, and with how people just turn to Youtube or what have you for help in games these days (which, personally, I find a lot more troublesome than looking something up in text), but it's still saddening.
