Our Take:
It’s been pretty amazing to watch the growth of competitive gaming in recent years. From shooters to fighting games to MOBAs, there’s a huge and growing audience that loves to watch the best of the best compete. While countries like South Korea led the charge in the field, it’s nice to see it becoming so successful in the United States. With Twitch.tv partnerships being part of both the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, we expect the rate of growth will only increase.
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.
