I never cared for game informer. It always felt like GameStop was trying to shill it in order to sell subscriptions to a magazine that’s basically a giant advertisement for GameStop.
Gimme those cooler magazines. Game Pro, Nintendo Power, PSM etc.
So you like ads, just not GameStop ads? I mean, GI had a lot of info about games, too. Beyond Nintendo and PS, you could actually learn about PC games.
People are into vinyl and tube TVs again. Barnes & Noble just opened a huge branch in a hot (meaning: expensive) neighborhood here in Chicago. I guess people like physical things again.
Might be both. I know a couple of 20s that love physical media. Its crazy to think about, but they stated their childhood was mostly screens and rectangles. They both like Vinyl which is crazy to me. They are working their first jobs too.
i have the money but not the space. i used to have a subscription back in ps2-ps3 gen but the world has changed. now i just follow a few people on youtube, pateron and use sites like this or reddit for news.
I think people are catching on to these digital services can remove things you bought or they even fold. You own a physical item it is yours to do as you please with it
Yes please. To quote time traveling reporter Ryan George “PLEASE bring me back to the 90s! The future is dumb, and nothing makes sense, and I hate it!”
I really liked GI and i was saddened by their closure. Quality journalism (gaming and elsewhere) is dying, substituted by AI slop, paid influencers and clickbait articles.
Hopefully a few of the good ones remain. This is a step in the right direction.
A horde mode is nice, but making the existing maps more diverse is what the game needs for me to come back. Making all the maps from tilesets was a move in the right direction, but not going full procedural means we have generic looking maps that are also the same every time. The worst of both worlds.
Oh man. If you think game dev has been having a rough go of it lately, games media was already a smoking crater before all the waves of dev layoffs began. Now GI wants to dive back in and restart their print offering too? There are a bunch of good people over there and I’m happy they’re getting another chance unshackled from GameStop, but woof. Good luck!
