I can't find any evidence that they've acquired or licensed the name / trademarks from Ziff Davis, the last known holder of Compute's IP, so I would be wary of giving them any money.
Also the content gives off strong AI vibes
- beej71 2y agoI want it to be true. There's really not much information out there on it or the CEO that I can find. My first question was if there's was enough retro material for a monthly.
- jnagle78641 2y agoEdwin Nagle here. I believe there's definitely enough material to support a monthly, especially with a focus on the general retro community rather than solely on C64/128.
- ddingus 2y agoI agree with that. Why GAZETTE rather than just COMPUTE! ? Big fan of the project here BTW.
- jnagle78641 2y agoThanks! I originally was going to just call it Compute but I resonated more with Compute!'s Gazette from my own personal experience and it's going to be all brand new content anyway. Plus, I like the idea of a "gazette" and it just seemed to fit. Personal preference I guess.
- ddingus 2y agoThat makes sense. No judgement here, just me wondering.
- svec 2y agoWho are the authors for the content of the first month's issue? The articles on the site don't list an author, which makes me think it's all written by Edwin Nagle, which makes me wonder if anyone else will contribute to the monthly issues.
- jnagle78641 2y agoI registered the trademark through USPTO, you can verify it there. There is some AI involved right now, but not for anything content related.
- hedora 2y agoFwiw, I didn’t find the ai images problematic at all, and the writing doesn’t seem generated at all to me. I like the switch drm writeup, but wonder if they’re just moving pirates towards downloading from the store + dumping the bits.
- jnagle78641 2y agoThanks! I originally was going to go a completely different direction with the Switch writeup. By the time I finished the write up I had to acknowledge what a smart move that was for Nintendo. I just hope devs use the opportunity to bring back some more physical "stuff" with their offerings.
