While I've never actually bought any of the Prima guides, it does feel like the end of an era. They've been around for ages...

Good. There are free alternatives which are better and they don't contain exclusive codes for in-game content.

Since it was probably Prima that reaches out to get something exclusive, don't think that type of thing is going to go away. Its just going to move on to another source. I remember with Dragon Age: Origins they had 20 or so different deals like that. Thankfully a few years ago they made all that content free for those that might want it.

If I ever needed help, I would just go to YouTube. I know that is what helped me with the hangtime achievement in Andromeda, I don't think a text based information setup would have worked out the same way for me.

I'm not surprised, but I am sad. I have all three of their Dragon Age guides in collector's editions and use them whenever I play.
(I mean, sure, I could alt-tab and google where to find stuff or look it up on my phone, but I like having a nice book on my desk.)

That’s what phones on Wi-Fi are for. And triple-monitor setups... But in the first case the display is tiny and in the second case....who the hell has the space (and the money) for more than 1 monitor ?!

I bought Prima's TW3 CE guide a while back. It has a nice presentation and lots of info. It was the next best thing to an encyclopedia which Dark Horse did release eventually (The World of The Witcher).

Yeah, I guess space is going to be an issue for some. But if you have the space, secondary (and tertiary) monitors can be had for pretty cheap if they're not gaming monitors. I've replaced older monitors for new ones, and just kept the older monitors for multi-monitor setups. Once you multi-monitor, you'll never go back!

I think the last time i ever purchased a game guide (not sure if it was Prima) was for the original Resident Evil, Silent Hill and Tomb Raider 3. Nowadays if i ever get stuck, i too go straight to youtube and within minutes i've solved the issue...

This...and while i don't have multi-monitors at the crib, on my job at one point i had six monitors for multiple network/operating systems, and that was a godsend compared to how i had to manually click tabs between each system using only one monitor intially...down to 3 monitors now at work which is still waaay more convenient than using one monitor.

I must be old fashioned then as I like something physical to flick through if I get stuck on something. Sign of the times I guess.

This, plus it's way too easy to get spoiled while looking for a specific thing online. I didn't even crack my DAI or MEA game guides until I finished the game the first time. I use them more for finding stuff I missed the first time around, suggestions for alternates paths, or as a lore source.
