magazines are dead tech…
perhaps they should throw in a buggy whip with it…
People still look at magazines?
I’m not educated in these matters, it’s just that I know wow players and I know how people who don’t like wow respond to games like wow.
An “in your face download this game please before you watch this video” doesn’t appeal to many people who tend to like WOW. In fact I think internet advertisements draws more attention from those who won’t personally like WOW for myriad of reasons. Still worth it, I’m sure but the pushback from those who don’t like WOW probably causes people who would to not consider it.
A Subscription Magazine has a more subtle but more impactful result to those who would like to play the game and those who don’t like the game will not feel the need to pushback. With that said, I’m only going off of personal experience.
Also giving subscribers a physical item would go a long way IMO. But I may be wrong here as well.
