F.A.Q.

  • How do you choose which games to write about?
    • We keep a steady eye on social media, Steam, and itch.io, and our community gives us great tips as well for what’s up and coming.
  • I backed the Issue #1 Kickstarter but didn’t receive a physical COPY even though I backed that tier. When will I receive that issue?
    • Please use our contact form and let us know so we can sort you out!
  • I didn’t originally buy the physical COPY tier on the Issue #1 Kickstarter but I’d still like a copy. Is it possible to get one?
    • Yes – we have a shop available that will allow you to buy a physical copy of Issue #1 and every issue going forward once the Kickstarters have ended and backers receive their copies.
  • I haven’t gotten my issue yet even though I’ve paid – what’s up with that?
    • We’re working on a bulk order system which means we will aggregate order information and then send them out all at once, once we have enough orders. We will notify you when we do so!
  • Can I buy digital copies of the Magazine somewhere?
    • No – because we’re giving them away for free! We only charge for physical copies.
  • Where can I find the latest news about the magazine?
    • Twitter is best. We also have a Discord where Reload fans and devs of the games you read about can hang out!
  • Who are your writers?
    • See below. 🙂
