Sale ends today - Get Game File for 23% off
The headline says it all. Today, Friday, August 14, is your final chance to sign up for a Game File subscription at 23% off.
That’s $77 a year, down from the standard $100, to get full access to my reporting for the next 12 months.

On the micro level, I’d encourage you to subscribe to access any one of the paid pieces I run on Game File.
Maybe you’ve never read my double-feature investigation into a wild false advertising lawsuit that revolved around a Star Wars video game, which is one of Game File’s most popular stories? Or my exclusive interview about the origins of Fortnite? Or my scoop about the high nine-figure budgets for Call of Duty games and the unlikely place where I found those numbers?
But $77 may feel steep for any one article or any three. People have subscription fatigue. Inflation’s a thing. Some of you are allocating your $77 for the purchase of an upcoming $80 Fire Emblem game.
On the macro level, this sale is a handy way for you to help ensure that I can continue to do the kind of reporting that Game File is all about.
I have no outside funders, just readers like you. Readers make it possible for nearly every edition of Game File, at least three times a week, to include original news that you haven’t seen anywhere else.
This week alone, I brought Game File readers scoops about two Netflix game studio closures and about a CEO vs CEO potshot in a game trailer (that then detoured into one of the more bizarre game industry dramas we’ve seen in some time). Plus: I crunched soooo many Nintendo sales figures to get a bead on how the new Mario Kart is actually doing. And I unearthed some of my 20-year-old coverage of Rockstar Games and re-shared the highlights relevant to our GTA VI era.
By the way…. Most of the above isn’t even what I planned for this week! Earlier this year, I conducted one of the most interesting interviews I’ve ever done with the head of a famous video game company. It’s not time-sensitive, so I held off for a bit, prioritizing other pieces. I decided it would be a strong article to run it during this sale, but I could not carve out the time to do it justice. Too many pieces of breaking news. Too many tall charts to suddenly make! It’ll run soon, I promise, but “soon” will extend beyond the sale week.
That’s the pitch. Game File’s first big sale of the year ends tonight.
If now’s not a great time for you to subscribe, I get it. Thank you for reading Game File.
And if you’re already a paid subscriber or have been one in the past, thank you so much for helping to fund my work.
