WD stopping?

[spaceman91]

I have heard a rumour that white dwarf is stopping and is being replaced by a weekly. Now my local GW is saying there is some big super secret news on Saturday that has nothing to do with nid release. Anyone heard anything about this?

It would be good for GW in terms of news for stuff. But I think that it would be the final nail in the WD coffin for me personally.

FWIW, this isn't the first place I've seen that rumor. Tho, the first place I did see it was the 40K Facebook group, so we could be talking about the same thing. Either way, sets off my hoax meter a bit, but GW has been on a crazy train lately with big moves, so who knows?

The GW parody on facebook is even reporting the demise of WD...

It's across a few sites, here's the link from Faeit:

It's pretty much taken as a definite thing with a weekly replacing WD along with a secondary monthly magazine.

There was a discussion of changing from a monthly release schedule to a weekly release schedule. If this is was adopted it would certainly make more sense to change the periodical to a monthly base.

I don't think the scale of economy would be there to make this viable - nowadays hardened gamers of any system might put up with x-pages of (admittedly well produced) high colour pish to get a painting article or batrep that applies to them - but if you could weed even further as only 1 of 4 weekly mags has your interest in, their overall figures would go down.

If this is true I really have had it with WD. Its really not been very good for a while. I have had it a 3 years now and it seems to be getting boring if I'm honest.

This maybe where he got it from as shortly after it popped up on my feed.
