R.I.P. GamesMaster Mag

Sad times ahead. My favourite magazine publisher has shut down. Gamesmaster magazine has finished publication printing after 25 years.

GamesMaster is a monthly multi-format computer and video game magazine published by Future plc in the United Kingdom. It is the biggest selling multi-format video games magazine in the United Kingdom, outselling its sister publication Edge, But Future has announced it will be closing the magazine on 1 November 2018. The magazine was launched in January 1993, to complement the television show of the same name. While the show has since ceased broadcasting, the magazine has carried on.

I never got to watch the tv show sadly but I owned my first GM mag back in 2002 with Spider-man on the cover. My collecting and obsession of the mag didn't then exist until I became a regular reader from 2008 onwards, so I've been a loyal reader for 10 years. I've submitted many letters, emails, Facebook posts, twitter dm's etc into them over the years. I've gotten in many times and even won their star letter once. I have kept all of my gm appearances in a scrap book because it's memories and just awesome i made it into their magazine it's a true honour among the gaming community I believed. 

It's truly sad to see them go, GM not only gave me great gaming insides and knowledge but also gave me a platform via their social media pages to interact with and meet many new friends along the way. Many of which I am still in contact with such as James Davie, William Golding, Ryaan Sandham, Darren Emery, Greg Atkins, Layla Griffiths to name just a few! Love all the friends i have made through GM, if they end up reading this well hello there haha. 

So hey go pick up the latest and last ever issue of GM. You'll see my small review of #Spiderman in it too!

Thank You GM for bringing such great memories. From the friends I've made through mutual love of the mag to the free gifts and all the knowledge you have given to us your noble readers.

#THANKYOUGM #GAMESMASTERMAG get those trending and say you're thanks and post memories you have of them please, let's get it trending as a tribute to our fave magazine.
