Member Testimonials

"I’m a big fan of Gina and Dean and their vision for a more holistic approach to covering entertainment and games. We live in a new era where the lines between media are blurring, and GamesBeat has done a great job widening the aperture, both by telling stories that reflect this convergence and by physically bringing these industries together. I’m excited for GamesBeat Max and this continued effort, and I look forward to being part of it."

"Dean Takahashi and GamesBeat have been essential to me as I work with many studios, publishers, infrastructure companies, etc. in the gaming industry. I am sure that GB MAX is going to provide me benefits well in excess of the modest price."
Michael Vorhaus

"I joined GB MAX because, simply, the team has earned my membership. Dean Takahashi has shown throughout his career that he is one of the very best games journalists there is, and GamesBeat has been my go-to source for industry news for as long as I can remember. I can’t imagine not having access to their insights and analysis."

"GamesBeat MAX isn’t just a subscription—it’s an investment in the future of games journalism. The future of the games industry is not written in stone. Whether we continue our climb toward $300B in annual revenue or stagnate depends on how well decision-makers inside and outside our industry understand the opportunities ahead. Clear, thoughtful reporting is what equips leaders to make the choices that determine our trajectory."
