The Escapist is a magazine about computer game playing and development that is published electronically (as PDF or HTML). It is atrociously formatted (the HTML does not fit my screen and does not scale, the PDF refuses to print), but its articles shine. It is published weekly, and seems to be no older than a couple of months, though ‘everybody’ is quoting from it like it has been around and established for a while now.
From the editor’s note: “This issue of The Escapist, “Dungeons and Dollars,” allows our writers to explore the various aspects of the economics of games. Greg Costikyan speaks to the serious issues facing the development community presented by the current structure of the production process. Mark Wallace delves into virtual commerce and why virtual is perhaps not the best term to describe it.”
