Retailers Loosing Faith in PC Gaming

Retailers Loosing Faith in PC Gaming

According to Imagine Publishing, publishers of Total PC Gaming magazine, revealed that the magazine has seen a major decline in sales, apparently due to the coinciding decline in retailer interest in PC Gaming.

“I’m looking at Total PC Gaming at the moment, because although it’s a profitable magazine for Imagine, it’s future potential is limited because retailers and magazine stockists have lost faith with the PC games sector entirely,” said Managing Publisher Damian Butt.

Damian Butt continued in saying, “We have had fantastic support from our advertisers on Total PC Gaming, and outperformed our expectations, but I would much rather have a talented team working on a magazine where there is a greater future upside, such as our new launch How it Works, because it takes as much effort to make a magazine that generates a good profit as one that makes very little.”

Though this news points to PC gamers being a dying breed, however I would venture to say that the decline in magazine sells can be directly attributed by the plethora of gaming news available on the net.
