  • Gamewire is no more!

    How can we survive? First The Game Journal quits, now Rick Thornquist says he quits Gamewire. Where will we get our news from now on? Thanks to Rick for his amazing work with the Gamewire, it’s been a very good resource! I would’ve been completely lost in Essen without Rick’s list.
