Play (U.K. version) gets sold...

http://www.next-gen.biz/index.php?op...=2097&Itemid=2

I have no idea what this means, but I know some of you would care about this. Hence, I give you this topic.

I was really hoping for "fold".

I hope this is a positive thing. Like, the hardworking people at Play get rewarded for their efforts with big piles of money, but still get to produce the magazine the way it has been, as opposed to a negative thing where they have to make the magazine the same as everyone else (GI, EGM, etc).

I really like Play Magazine. Haters be damned.

I hope halverson gets in a bus accident with Fatality, The Used, My Chemical Romance, most other Emo bands, and your mother.

...and you didn't even capatalize his name. What a dis.

It's true.

That's :lol: times 10, right there.

I didn't read the link. Did Halverson get sick of running another magazine? Are we going to see "Dave Halverson's Nut-Bursting Gaming Jamboree #4" now?

Nothing was said about Halverson leaving the mag in that article.

Can't a man dream?

So this will be the third magazine he's sold? Even after he swore in a play editorial never ever again?

Uh...if you read the article it seems like that image is a mistake. It's all about UK gaming magazines, and if I remember correctly there's also a magazine called Play over there.

Halverson's gaming mullet crotch stole something, then?

But not Get Up Kids and Reggie & The Full Effect. They survived, right? :(

At least he wouldn't let Jeremy write for it.

Yeah, we get it, you don't like my writing. How many times must this be said until you shut the fuck up, and why can't you find something else to needlessly obsess over?

Uhm, guys? This isn't Play, as in Play in the U.S., as in Play that I work at. This is Play, as in a U.K. magazine called Play.

Terrible job on the part of Next Gen to use a cover image from the U.S. Play, and not being clearer that this is in regards to the U.K. publication.

Edit: Whoops, Salsashark already pointed this out, but I'll leave my post so that we can doubly confirm. I also changed the title to help avoid confusion.

You'll be the first to know.

Thank the heavens above!

So where has Play US been? I haven't seen a copy for sale in months.

My friend who works at EB says that they haven't been getting it for a while - I was going to ask on Monday to see what's up.

The last one I got had Prey on the cover. I bought it at an EB.

It's on the stands every month at B&N. It's usually the first gaming mag i see.

Good news. Retro Gamer's back.
Bad news. It's not quite as awesome as it was.

We know this already, but:
