The Decline of PC Gamer
PC Gamer is a magazine that has been heading down the toliet for some time now. Print magazines
in general are developing a reputation for being notoriously out of date when compared with the ever increasing number of ways to receive news over the net.
I personally lost all interest in PC Gamer around the time of the Half-Life 2 source code break-in. The editorial staff lost all sense of rationality when that happened. That was the final straw in the inexorable decline for me.
Seems I'm not alone in noticing the decline. Admittedly, this Gamers With Jobs lament focuses on another problem with the magazine, which has become but a shell of its former glory.
There are often claims that PC gaming is dying. Could the slow demise of PC Gamer be a harbinger of this disaster?
