In Response To: Re: I'd like to see GI's mkt share. Probly tiny. (gspawn)

: I still think it's a pretty bad mag. The reviews aren't all that great, and
: most of the guys are unnecessarily sexist. Yes, I'm a dude. It even bugged
: me.

: But GI has great market share. Dunno if it's tops or anything, but it's doing
: well... mostly becase: [former employee rant]
: If anyone likes GI, go into Gamestop to renew, so you can get the discount
: card (free with a year of the mag). 10% off used games, 10% added to
: trade-ins. Gamestop also does used DVDs too, so you can get your fix there
: for cheap. You have no idea how many people would come in and tell us
: "no, I got a subscription myself" then buy used games. It's a
: sweet deal if you like the mag anyway.
: [/former employee rant]

: Considering the discount card, it doesn't really have to be a good mag- I'm
: going to constantly have it around. I bought my Xbox 360 almost entirely
: through trade-ins, plus some reserves, so the card earned at least $50
: back for me last year. Sweetness. And I'd be saying that even if I hadn't
: worked there.

I go to funcoland pretty frequently so I got the discount card as well. I also think that is the only reason why Game Informer has many readers. I prefer Electronic Gameing Monthly but niether mag is flawless.

I personally think it was poor taste to say (no this is not an april fools joke) inside of this pile of unproven speculation. I can understand throwing it in there to mess with a few people but that part of it just struck me as gratuitis and irrepsonsible. When you are lieing allready don't lie about the lie of your lies lie. It just gives the people who belive it that much more BS ammo to harras everyone else with.
