Limited-time launch sale now on!

I'm incredibly, deeply, ludicrously biased—but as the person who spent far too long agonising over how to price our subscription tiers, I think I found a pretty solid sweet spot.

For less than the price of a single cup of hot java per week (or a pint each month if you reside in London), you can secure access to daily news hits, incisive investigative work, vital long-reads, expert interviews, regular newsletters, esteemed commenting privileges, and so much more. All while knowing your hard-earned cash is supporting the future of video game industry trade journalism.

Still, I'd be fibbing if I said I haven't also been tinkering with Ghost's titillating discounting tools and eagerly awaiting the day I can holler the word "SALE" at the top of my lungs. AWOLNATION eat your heart out. Well, friends, that moment is finally here.

To commemorate the launch of Vertical Slice, the fearless independent (and, currently, self-financed) trade publication you're reading right now, we're offering you the chance to nab a monthly or yearly subscription at a whopping 33 percent discount. The offer will apply to our 'Supporter' tier, which would usually set you back (a still very reasonable) £7.45/month or £69.95/year.

We don't believe in upselling here at Vetical Slice. A 'Supporter' subscription will grant you access to everything we offer. All of our quality reporting. Regular newsletters packed with insight and charm. And, yes, those fabled commenting privileges I mentioned earlier.

These discounts will only be available for ONE MONTH so don't wait around. You can claim either the monthly or annual discount by hitting one of the two alluring buttons below.
