I know that the landscape is a bit smaller than it used to be back in the day, but do you guys currently get any physical gaming magazines?

I recently got a copy of Retro Gamer on a whim because they had a Rayman 2 article advertised on the cover. It ended up being a pretty good read. Sort of took me back to the old days of gaming magazines, where the vibe was just a bit more relaxed.

You guys had any recent experiences with modern day print magazines?
 
Here there is still one surviving video game magazine I sometimes buy just for its posters lol.
 
None. It's one thing that there are barely any out there these days but the big problem is that independent folks online consistently outdo people who call themselves professional journalists.
 
Gaming journalism is pretty much dead. Even if we did still have some big gaming magazines I imagine they wouldn't be worth reading. Back in the old days I loved

The last gaming magazine sub I had was Game Informer because it came with my Gamestop Pro Membership. Honestly, those more recent Game Informer mags were shadows of their former selves. They were so generic, so soulless, so bland. I'd glance through them once and then throw them in the trash. This is why I couldn't understand when everyone was acting like they were excited about their return.

I used to love Gamefan, Nintendo Power, OXM w/ demo discs, OPM w/ demo discs, EGM, PC Gamer, etc.
