Game Informer: Letter to the Editor

When Game Informer Australia was released, I decided to give it a chance, and after reading the first issue I sent along something to the Editor- a shot letter to the editor about the world of PC gaming, and how Steam is kicking it back as one of the players- least sales wise.

So an issue passed and I heard nothing from them, then before the third issue I was told that my letter would be published, and sure enough I subscribed to the magazine and what do you know- it was published.

Game Informer Australia is a clone of the original USA version with a bunch of Australian content. Okay its not a clone, as most of the magazine is written for Australians, and the only things which are copied from the USA version seem to be the cover feature.

It is quite obvious that PC gaming would have died years ago, but services like steam seam to have given it a leg up in the right direction. I doubt many PC gamers would have spent such money during the holidays if it weren’t for such services. It would seem that people are moving more and more to consoles. The Wii is the family console and the 360 and PS3 seem more gunned on taking the PC’s spot as the “hardcore” option. But the annual sales on Steam have kicked a lot of my friends back to the PC. Given this, I think it’s obvious now to what sells and doesn’t sell on the PC, so it seems clear sailing from here instead of a stormy ride.

Buy the magazine in stores now to see the editor Chris said about my letter, as well as read up about L.A Noir the cover’s feature article- and a bunch of other Australian Goodies!
