I 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.

Edwin 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.

I agree with that.

Why GAZETTE rather than just COMPUTE! ?

Big fan of the project here BTW.

Thanks! 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.

That makes sense. No judgement here, just me wondering.

Who 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.

I registered the trademark through USPTO, you can verify it there. There is some AI involved right now, but not for anything content related.

Fwiw, 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.

Thanks! 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.
