Print Gaming Magazines Doomed?
Joystiq has a pair of interesting posts up looking at the future of print gaming publications. Besides positing on the future of the print media, they discuss subscription and reach rates for some of the major U.S. magazines. From that piece: "Game Informer really is several times larger than their nearest competitor. How did they manage that? And why the heck is the Official U.S. Playstation Magazine passed around so much than all the other publications?" I wonder what the differences are between here and abroad? In the UK, for example, there are a large number of publications, all of which seem to have avid readerships. (Though, with magazines like Edge and PC Gamer UK, it's hard not to see why.)
I feel like the slashdot writers watch Invader Zim because at least one article a week has to do with something being "doomed... DOOMED.... DOOOOOOMED!!!!!". This is of course followed by another article explaining why the first article was wrong. People should just stop reading and replying to articles with the word "Doom" in the title.
You can take it to the bathroom with Wi-Fi, though.
