Who's going to make game guides now? Second bad news today. Bad news or a good opportunity?

I bought a Prima guide once, for the original StarCraft. It didn't contain anything I didn't know after one SP playthrough, so I mostly felt that I wasted my money.
Only a few games are complex enough to require a guide these days anyway.

The main thing I look to guide information for is where they hid the @$%&!! collectibles !!!
YouTubes will cover that off in a shortish time, but not typically day one.
That said, I've had 'official' guides that don't include that either.

I’ve never bought a guide. Even before YouTube was a thing. I just play the game. BioWare game tend to lead you by the nose anyway.

I have Collector's Edition Strategy Guides for ME2, ME3, DAII, DA:I....Would love to add one to my collection for ANTHEM. I see that the hardcover is available to order on Amazon.ca, but I'm wondering...is that the official (final copy/version) of the actual guide as it will be on release day? (is the information acurate or too early to tell if this is the one? Should I wait? If I wait....With PRIMA's closing/merger with Brady Games...Is it possible that a later version will be printed between now and Feb 22nd?)
Or if I or anyone else were to wait, is there another company that will be producing these books now that Prima is out of the picture?
I am also on the hunt for the official Art book for ANTHEM as well. Just wondering if it is too early to pre-order or order at all based on the information that is on Amazon.ca at this moment. Can any Devs shed light on these questions? Or perhaps Forumites who are in the know? Thanks

I have Collector's Edition Strategy Guides for ME2, ME3, DAII, DA:I....Would love to add one to my collection for ANTHEM. ...is that the official (final copy/version) of the actual guide as it will be on release day? We know that publisher DK (who is not going bust) has decided not to commission new guides. So it appears that the Anthem guide is going ahead. (I popped in a pre-order for one myself as I have both an interest and nostalgia) DK said: "The imprint will honor all pre-orders for guides to upcoming games like “Super Smash Bros. Ultimate” and “Anthem” over the next few months,"
variety.com/2018/gaming/news/prima-games-shutting-down-1203024364/As writing one of these guides takes several months, the Anthem guide will have been commissioned before the closure announcement, therefore it's getting done and should be of the usual standard. Writing one of these guides is not a trivial matter, as one of the authors explains here: mashable.com/video/puppy-cube-projector-touch-screen/

I just pre-ordered the Art of Anthem (Hardcover with Javelins on front cover) from Amazon.ca for 47. and change But I see the Limited Edition is 85.00.....I understand there is added monetary cost for the trinkets (statues etc) but is the book itself any bigger, better or different that might also give reason to justify the cost difference? (just curious). In the same Amazon order, I also purchased the "Official Collector's Edition Strategy Guide" (plain white hardcover with orange text) for slightly less than 47 CDN

Prima hasn’t made good guides in years.
Hopefully, more game companies will start using Future Press for guides as their’s are top-notch.
