I love the idea. Worker co-ops and subscription-based news (just like a newspaper) are both perfect models for this. I'm a big proponent for and supporter of the Patreon model for small creators.

...But I read through their articles and they're just not in sync with my taste in gaming. I think they need more writers who are into sandboxes and sims, because they all seem super into smaller, narrative-core games, and somewhat derisive of open worlds that don't hyper focus on a story.
