PR: GamersGate announce deal to offer free PC and MMO download magazines
New York, USA (January 24, 2008) – GamersGate announced today a partnership with Cranberry Publishing Ltd to offer their popular download magazines PCGZine and MMOZine through the digital download portal.
“Much like GamersGate, Cranberry Publishing has emerged as one of the leading players in their field by meeting gamer needs in an untraditional way and we are thrilled to offer all registered users on GamersGate this service”, said Theodore Bergquist, CEO for GamersGate.
PCGZine and MMOZine will be offered for free via the digital download portal. Magazine Publisher Cranberry has attributed the success of its free online magazines to the professional staff of games journalists, as well as a ground up design targeted specifically for digital display. “Unlike other digital magazines, our products are not retargeted from print. Ours incorporate landscape design more suited to the digital display, and the pages themselves house multimedia elements the reader can interact with as well as games video embedded into the pages”.
