A crazy idea

[LinksOcarina]

With EGM closing and me swimming with crazy ideas all the damn time, I figure this will be shot down to hell immediately, but what the hell.

You think there is any chance of Game Revolution making a print publication of sorts. Maybe not a monthly think, but more of a quarterly thing or something, covering more of the NGJ topics and unbiased opinionated views on the industry as a whole. No reviews of games are needed, but more previews could be seen this way in print, as well as a lot of editorial stuff that you can't do on the website.

I am probably out of my mind, but what the hell, thought id ask to see if it's even possible?

 

[De-Ting]

Pay.

They could just print them out and then *drop* them all around Berkeley for some increased site traffic.

 

[Diabolus]

Whoa, whoa, whoa...... EGM's closing?













:twisted:

 

[AMANIAC]

Uh, where would they be sent?

 

[LinksOcarina]

I told you it was a crazy idea. I never said it would be even feasible.

 

[JCD]

It is a crazy idea.


But I'd buy it.

 

[MattAY]

Links you're crazy! You Maverick!

...But I like it! It would definately be good for us GR fans. But at the same time, kinda pointless for an internet-based gamesite.

 

[dUKE]

yeah, there's a reason egm is closing. printing is expensive. magazines are failing all over the place right now.

 

[Rekkie7]

Yeah, not many people are buying magazines anymore when you can get all the news, previews and reviews much faster online for free. The demo disc use to be a big draw card, but now that you can download free demos off the Playstation Store and Xbox Live even that has lost appeal.

Print is dead.

 

[Boringman54]

That'd be awesome. Oh, and people already signed up to GR should get free copies.

 

[Oscihedgehog]

I dont post alot, but Boringsmans mention of free stuff perked my little feline ears up. Or at least he would have done if I were a cat ^.-
Anyway, disregarding those last to sentances, I think though as previously stated, somewhat unfeasible and the "print is dead" malarkey, I would buy it.

 

[LinksOcarina]

If print is dead, why are newspapers still selling fairly well.

Granted there is less circulation for them now, but it's not dead yet.

As I said this is probably totally unfeasible, but it doesn't mean it's impossible.

Old people.

 

[Tykk]

You need to stop sneaking quotes into my sig longo ¬¬

 

[Uver]

Prints failing because of the surplus of websites available for those topics.

There's nothing like the feeling of reading a magazine or newspaper on the toilet. For that alone, print shall never die.

You can't wipe your ass with a laptop if under some circumstance you run out of Toilet Paper.
