Title: Game Company Newsletters
Post by: Rajaat the Warbringer on November 01, 2008, 07:31:36 AM
Off the top of my head I'm currently getting E-mail updates from Nintendo, Koei, and Atlus. I'm kinda surprised that some of the big companies don't do newsletters like Square-Enix, Capcom, or Konami. Though I was pretty tired when I was trying to see if they offered newsletters.

So what game companies do you receive newsletters from?

I receive newsletters from Codemasters and I'll probably unsubscribe next time I receive one because it annoys me. :P It's always about Lord of the Rings Online and I don't even play that game. :D

The only ones I get are from Nintendo, both US and Europe, I don't really read them anymore, though.

I get mailings from Sony, mainly because I'm a Playstation Network member, TellTale Games, Valve, and Insomniac.

I do pay attention to some game company podcasts though. Such as Insomniac Games' Full Moon Show, Top Secret: The Bionic Commando podcast by GRIN/Capcom, and Crash TV by Criterion Games.

I get newsletters from BioWare, Ubisoft (certain franchises), Xbox Canada and Sega. I used to get Konami, Codemasters and several others but with the infrequent amount of games I buy from most 3rd parties these days I've unsubscribed to most of the others because what they offer or announce is uninteresting to me.

From time to time I'll subscribe to specific game newsletters as well like when a Bethesda game is coming or an RPG I'm looking forward to.

Square Enix has a Final Fantasy XI newsletter, though it comes out once in a blue moon. I haven't played the game in well over 3 years but I still get the newsletter once every 7-8 months or so.

I used to get
Nintendo
Sega
MS
Atlus
Namco/Bandai Namco
Capcom
Midway
Konami
Rockstar
Sony
EA

Pretty much i spent an afternoon a couple years ago thinking of gaming companies and checking out their websites.
I got a bunch of junk mail out of it but i also got a bunch of sweet demos too.
EA and Namco used to have surveys you could fill out or just links to click and you could get limited demos.
I think the rarest was a Sims one that only had 1,000 copies.

I need to go sign up for these things again.
(The above list is missing companies and is not necessarily accurate)

I get from Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft, and Namco. I rarely read them though. The only newsletters I do read are from Animaxis and Play Asia.
