https://www.polygon.com/2018/11/9/18079380/prima-games-shutting-down Sad news, at least for me. I have been buying their publications for around 25 years, and have dozens on my shelf. I don't buy them for every game anymore, but I do get them for the big RPG titles. They're not only a fantastic resource of information, but also a beautiful product that I can look through whenever and where ever I want to (including long car trips). Their guides have been my main window into the world of Final Fantasy games for a long, long time. More recently, they've been my introduction to the worlds of The Witcher and Fallout before I ever put the disc into my PS4.
The Versus guide for Phantasy Star Online was a life saver. I also miss getting the gaming magazines with the demo discs back in the day. Time and technology have moved on though and digital downloads are so much easier. Still, it feels like the passing of an era.
I am thankful that game art books seem to be at least filling a void left behind. I've bought a number of those for Dragon Age, FF and AC games.
Oh my gosh, the nostalgia hurts. My PSO guide and FF7 (black and white at the time) guides were mainstays.
