It's just done now. It's best for everyone to just move on. Anyone who was going to move here likely already has, anyone who hasn't and is determined enough will find it. Nothing to really be gained posting about FG over there, other than to annoy people |

I'd like my sub to include a BBQ beef Hula Hoop-scented deodorant please. Can't that be achieved by not washing? How dare you besmirch the greatest of all crisps. YOU'RE NOT EVEN MY AUNT |

I'm still not sure exactly what it is I'm supposed to have done, given that I haven't posted about the forum since the 10th when they shut it down, but in the interests of keeping the peace I promise that I will continue to not post anything about this forum in the comments section.

Whoever this fontgeek-dot-io comment poster is, please stop. You’re making us all look like offal pouches Just out of curiosity what is it you find objectionable? My username? The content of my posts? What you think I look like? I'm not denying that I'm a massive offal pouch, I'm just curious as to why you think I'm a offal pouch. I didn’t say you were a cunt. I said that someone posting on eurogamer comments as fontgeek_dot_io makes us collectively look like cunts, an important distinction |

Not sure everyone realises that your posting username at EG is fontgeek.io so it's not that you're posting about the closure, it's that it still appears to be an attempt to bring people over, even if the post is about something totally different. I have no issue with it, thought it was a vaguely funny last dig when they were blocking all the blatant links. Edit- ok, at least one person realises |

I feel like a right Rodney with just the one star. Thank you. I quite shewdly got my postcount reset to 0 at one point but Danno went and got it restored, the nitwit. Which is why his goolies have been getting a good kicking. It's still not enough |

For the Premium sub you get an egg mayonnaise sarnie? Oi neilka, we want our sausage rolls back, stop hoarding them! We weren't denied our British sex arses (any of the FG subs include one of these by chance? Asking for a friend...) and we certainly won't be denied our long meaty pastries either.

Actually, I'm surprised you're not offering mustard anus application as one of your supporter rewards or at the very least a a jar of Colman's. I'm kinda disappointed.

Is it me or has EG removed all its 'Subscriber only' tags from the front page and put it into a sub section which currently contains 3 articles.
Really good value for 5.99

No one can be told what the EDITOR'S LETTER is, you have to see it for yourself. Some say it unlocks the secret for immortality. For £5.99.

I wonder if they will move the ‘someone should make a game about…’ articles behind the paywall.
It might actually make the site better if they do.

So far 'Supporters' have access to the podcast (early access, anyone can have it after 2 weeks), an article about 90s music (not very gaming), and the editor's exclusive letter which is about why they have given out so many positive reviews recently. Mind blowing content.

In line with the recent quality of the site, I imagine the letter will be along the lines of:
deer supscribor
thank yoo for the muny that you gived me. tomorow ill do an artikal abowt cake.
ill rite agen soon

The 90s music thing is really weird.
I can totally see that becoming part of a paid programme once an audience is established, but to start with that on a gaming site? Did their market research earlier this year indicate that people would only sub if they covered 90s music?
They probably wanted to present variety in the first offerings but because there's not much on there it just doesn't seem very, well, videogamey.

Besides which, everybody knows they stopped making great music in 1989.

Like, you'd have thought they would at least kick it off with some meaningful new stuff they've been working on behind the scenes, rather than "what can we scrape together to chuck behind the paywall" as it very much appears. I think it would be generous even calling it a soft launch to be honest.

Normally when a site puts any of its stuff behind a paywall it has tons of exclusive content that slowly drops off. EG have gone the other way, it's brave starting with fuck all.

Pretty much. There's absolutely nothing there to convince you that subscribing would be a good idea. I feel a bit sad about it all truth be told. I felt intrinsically linked to that site for the best part of ten years - less time than many - regardless of how much time I actually spent on the front page. So to see it all nosedive so rapidly on top of the steady decline in quality content, is a little bit like passing that pub you used to go and see all those rock bands when you were young and discovering it's been knocked down and replaced by a soft play area.
