Journal Soelton's Journal: Understanding Gaming Culture and Trends

The gaming culture that overflows into media and non-media experiences can be a powerful force for businesses to recognize. To understand this phenomenon, it's important to read game blogs regularly.

Founded in 2010, it started out as a hobby / passion blog for two hardcore gaming fanatics. The site now offers a comprehensive coverage of video games and its news.

Game Informer

Game Informer is the worldâ(TM)s largest computer and video game magazine. It covers games for consoles, handheld systems, and PCs. Its articles include game reviews, strategy guides, and previews of upcoming releases. It also features interviews with game developers and industry news. Game Informer is available in print and digital format. Its subscriptions are free for PowerUp Rewards members, the companyâ(TM)s customer appreciation program.

The Game Informer app allows users to view the latest edition of the magazine and its archived issues. The app also offers access to special features, videos, and the ability to purchase games in-app. The app is available on iPhone and iPad. Its readers have praised the app for creating an immersive gaming experience. Its ad revenue has exceeded its subscription revenue. In June 2017, it was the fifth most popular magazine in the United States. Game Informer was founded in August 1991 when video game retailer FuncoLand started publishing an in-house newsletter. It is now owned by GameStop and published monthly.

Game Fanatics

Game Fanatics celebrates the passion for video games and geek culture. They bring gamers together to share their passion through articles, streams, podcasts, and videos. They also host events that allow fans to interact with their favorite characters and communities.
The company has a long list of clients and partners, including major sports leagues, teams, players associations, and celebrities. Its products include sportswear, NFTs, trading cards, and memorabilia. It has also expanded into esports, betting, and gaming.

Last year, the company launched a new events business, which is focused on bringing fandom to life through live experiences.

Gnome Stew

Gnome Stew is an award winning multi-author gaming blog that specializes in tabletop role playing games and game mastering. The blog features articles on playing and GMing games as well as a weekly podcast. The site also offers a number of free RPG adventures.
The blog is run by a group of gnomes. They share the same skewed sense of humor and love of gaming that you'd expect from a group of nerdy gamers. They're also dedicated to helping new players get into the hobby.

Martin Ralya is the founder of Gnome Stew and the former publisher of Treasure Tables, a GMing advice blog. He shut down TT after burning out and recruited a team to start the current version of Gnome Stew in its place. He still writes occasionally for TT and is now an author emeritus at the Stew. He has a long list of blackmail material on the other gnomes. He's probably safe from their knives for now, however.

PlayStation Blog

The PlayStation Blog provides a variety of information for gamers. In addition to being a news source, the blog features interviews with developers and exclusive game previews. It also hosts reader-voted competitions like Share of the Week, which highlights player-created content.

The site has a unique advantage that other gaming blogs cannot offer, as it is owned by the company that produces the games. This gives the blog great authority in the gaming world and it can use that to its advantage. Readers love to get value from their visits, and the PS Blog delivers with discounts on fan favorites like Tiny Trax, Superhot VR and Arizona Sunshine. These deals are often posted on the front page, which allows readers to quickly find what they're looking for.
