Huh, so Astro Bot got a 10/10 from EDGE magazine. :huh:
A publication I personally view as one of the most critical publications out there, bothering on the cynical even.
Yet they don't thing the game is a "Isn't A Celebration, It's A Graveyard" like that terrible "the gamer" site.
Nor do they mention that it's a "Soulless Devotion To The Sony Brand" and how that's a problem like clickbaitTAKU did.
Perhaps there's still hope for games journalism... 👀

@OutofPrintArchive @retrohistories @yesterzine another of the publishers I work for just shuttered another may, Reed Pop did its shitty thing, and Future UK recently sold all our freelance contracts to its US division without notice. Several editors are either gone or ghosting me.
I gather PC Gamer is still doing okay, but honestly the current ad sales models aren't sustainable, IMO.
Retro Gamer's still indie, isn't it?

@retrohistories @yesterzine I have no idea how PC Gamer is doing, but if Retro Gamer gets shut down, this whole thing is just one big farce. 😒

@yesterzine @OutofPrintArchive My money's on PC Gamer being next to go, and Retro Gamer being the last one standing.

@OutofPrintArchive Now there isn’t so that’s solved. They were also the last official magazine until 30 months ago. Left in uk mainstream print is just Edge, Retro Gamer and PC Gamer.

@yesterzine
What’s even left at this point anymore?
I still can’t believe we don’t have an official Nintendo magazine anywhere.
I didn’t even realise that there was an actual PlayStation magazine still.
What a world…

@OutofPrintArchive Possibly not so on the day they close two of their sister magazines :D

@yesterzine @OutofPrintArchive @retrohistories oh, it's Future again. Oooh. :(

@HauntedOwlbear @OutofPrintArchive @retrohistories Retro Gamer has never really been indie but they’ve shared a publisher with edge for a long time now so no.
