I can't find any evidence that they've acquired or licensed the name / trademarks from Ziff Davis, the last known holder of Compute's IP, so I would be wary of giving them any money.

Also the content gives off strong AI vibes

I want it to be true. There's really not much information out there on it or the CEO that I can find.

My first question was if there's was enough retro material for a monthly.

Edwin Nagle here. I believe there's definitely enough material to support a monthly, especially with a focus on the general retro community rather than solely on C64/128.

I agree with that.

Why GAZETTE rather than just COMPUTE! ?

Big fan of the project here BTW.

Thanks! I originally was going to just call it Compute but I resonated more with Compute!'s Gazette from my own personal experience and it's going to be all brand new content anyway. Plus, I like the idea of a "gazette" and it just seemed to fit. Personal preference I guess.

That makes sense. No judgement here, just me wondering.
