GI Show 237: Farewell Maxis, Rock Band Returns, GDC News
This week we say goodbye to a great game studio, welcome back Rock Band, and break down all the news from GDC.
First up, Joe Juba (who wrote this oral history of Maxis) and Ben Reeves join host Matt Helgeson to eulogize SimCity and The Sims studio Maxis.
In the second segment, Ben Hanson and Brian Shea are on hand to talk about the triumphant return of Harmonix's Rock Band franchise and all the week's news from the Game Developer's Conference, including the GDC Awards, VR, and Valve.
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.
