Dutch games press is getting gutted left and right, with what was literally my childhood games news magazine Power Unlimited going down just the other day. So, a bunch of good folks decided "we'll do it ourselves". If you're Dutch, go check out Unpause!

Oh no! Power Unlimited was such a big part of my childhood, with their crass humour and reliable takes. Hope everything works out for them!

I felt disbelief when reading about it earlier today on Tweakers. It was such a good outlet, and to see it literally being thrown down the gutter is heartbreaking. I hope they have the platform to make this work out, because it's gonna be an uphill battle going independent in a shrinking industry

The Power Unlimited debacle is such a shame. From what I've gathered their publisher sold the domain name but they still have the rights to use the name for the magazine? I used to read the PU as a kid, it's one of like two constants in my life apart from ya know, family and parents. there was PU.

I think my editorial team working their asses off all year long to make Power Unlimited would say the magazine is still very much alive. You’re Dutch, check it out!

(Side note: very much looking forward to see what the Unpause guys will bring!)

Awesome initiative! However, also holding out for a little bit more diversity on the team though (check the colofon).

Definitely something we're working on! Valid point.

Not sure what even exists in Sweden anymore. The culture funding and forward awareness has also basically been feeling dead here, unless I missed some developments. Norway is so much better with it.

I grew up on Power Unlimited too! Switched to PC-Gameplay, but stopped buying magazines entirely years ago.
