Been following the guy on youtube for a while and I love the initiative, but damn, I find it hard to justify 10€ a month for just a single dedicated gaming publication. I expect I will support them every few months or so, but yeah, to me 100€/year seems too hefty.
Also what worries me is that this model has been tried, before the days of ad-supported web, and didn’t fare so well, so why would it work now?

Yeah, that’s pretty expensive ngl. It would be nice if they introduced a lower tier 🤔
so why would it work now?
From what he says, it seems that he is counting on the fact that he already has an audience from his youtube channel, and that he won’t have to start from nothing.

It’s also the only model that’s survived after the ad-supported web. If you’re not IGN, this is the only way games media works.
