"Will the Steam Deck become the de facto place to play Indie titles instead of the Switch?" - dancingphlower
"What keeps you interested in playing games over the long run? There is so much talk about the launch of new online games like Lost Ark, New World, and Halo Infinite, but I don't hear much about them after a couple of months. Are you still playing any living/online games, and what has kept you coming back to a specific game?" -BiscuitsWithDavey
"I'm watching Summer Games Done Quick and have enjoyed it for a few years, but I don't speed run any game. Is there any game/genre you all enjoy watching on stream but don't play?" - WhoCan

Thanks for reading.

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.
