After stating its studio would be based in Bellevue, Washington, the statement explains that the “LFG” in the studio’s name stands for “looking for group,” a common internet acronym for people searching for people to play games with.
“Our first game is a team-based action game that draws inspiration from fighting games, platformers, MOBAs, life sims, and frog-type games.”
Studio named LFG and cites MOBAs as an inspiration. More MP only, GaaS stuff.
They got bought by a German game developer, Gunzilla Games.
Gunzilla Games is an independent, innovative, and player-focused developer of AAA games. It also develops a platform that breaks down technological boundaries to pursue deeply engaging gaming experiences. They are currently developing ‘Off The Grid,’ which is a cyberpunk battle royale game featuring highly customizable weapons and advanced 3D scanning technology. The studio aims to break down technological barriers and deliver titles that gamers can truly immerse themselves in.
I mean…in the 90s game informer was cool. Then gamestop bought them. They’ve been an Atari situation for like 15 years now. I would give zero shits if this new game informer did replace all the gamestop schill writers.
Nothing of value lost there. Actually, if they did go that route, they should have revived the old EGM name, and got Sushi X. I don’t even remember any of his opinions. I just remember people used to hold signs at wrestling shows that just said “Sushi X” on them, during the time when wrestling shows opened up with 20,000 fans, and of that 17,000 had signs. Every show always had a Sushi X sign.
Yeah, that’s kind of why I asked. Gamestop propped up their numbers by bundling the magazine with their discount card. Game Informer wasn’t selling on it’s own merits, so I think the chance of it rallying with it’s old staff is slim.

I know it’s not likely, but I hope they make good MP only stuff. I like my friends and sharing new experiences with them.
Am I going crazy? I thought game informer shut down 2 years ago?
They’re back and are independent.
They got bought by a German game developer, Gunzilla Games.
so is this an Atari situation where the name is being used but everybody behind it is different?

I miss those days.
