It seems Game Informer’s death was… Greatly exaggerated
The ads and capitalism is going to be unreal it just as bad as everyone else.
They could make good money on the nostalgia crowd with reprints.
I’d love a print of the advertising and coverage for Morrowind.
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.
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!
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.
I see it in a different light. The people that were raised on digital goods finally have the money to purchase physical goods.
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
I understand that they may never go to magazines but if GameInformer wants to give IGN and GameSpot some gaming journalist competition I’m all for it
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.
I understand what you’re saying about Game Informer, but it’s hilarious you name Nintendo Power and PSM as alternatives, considering that.
Yeah but all least they weren’t being forced on you
You don’t want a magazine that’s adverts but you like Nintendo Power and PSM…
Those were the best ads tho. Game informer was just a GameStop ad. And GameStop always made me feel bad.
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.
Most magazines are just ads.
Next Generation was always my bag.
Game Informer always felt like the cheap knockoff to Electronic Gaming Monthly.
