Apple Launches Subscription Service
Today Apple announced that it will allow customers to buy subscription content instead of just single, discrete items. It seems mostly focused toward written content, but Apple is also open to any other form of media sold on the app store... including games.
Apple suggests subscription options for "magazines, newspapers, video, music, etc." and offers nearly any amount of frequency including "weekly, monthly, bi-monthly, quarterly, bi-yearly or yearly."
This certainly opens the door for some interesting business models for things like phone MMOs or perhaps music games with regularly added tracks.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
