From WoW.com:
In a rather surprising turn of events, Blizzard has announced that they’re teaming up with publishing group Future to print a quarterly magazine about, you guessed it, World of Warcraft.
For the yearly subscription price of $39.95 USD, readers will receive four issues of the ad-free WoW magazine, including concept art, hints and sneak peeks at upcoming content patches and expansions, interviews with developers, strategies for raid and dungeon encounters, and more “insider and player perspectives”. The issues are stated to be more than 140 pages long and glossy as heck.
Ten bucks a pop for a World of Warcraft magazine when all the strategies and tips are already online, and in much finer detail? We don’t know about this one.
Then again, there is a reason why hyperfocused outlets (including a site like WoW.com) do extremely well. They don t try to do anything other than cater to their ravenous fanbase, especially one that has such an expansive audience as World of Warcraft.
