So there’s now two tabloid i know of called “Mothership”. If i had a nickel someone named their tabloid “Mothership”, i’d had two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird it happened twice.

Curious what about this new publication makes you label it a tabloid? Based on the description so far it doesn’t sound sensationalist at all.

You’ll find reviews, criticism, and opinion stories, as well as articles about how games are made and marketed. You’ll get investigative reporting on the people who make games in an era when “DEI” is on the wane. You’ll read historical deep dives on the games and creators that paved the way, especially those that didn’t get due credit way back then.

if I had to guess, anything that doesn’t treat women as inferior is a tabloid
