Alright guys, I'm sorry, but it's time to SMAAAASH!! your dreams apart, piece by piece in a methodical and reasonable manner.
First off, let me preface this by saying this isn't just a "oh guys this is obvious fake stop hoping losers lol" post, but rather a methodical breaking down of why this is kinda dumb. I stared at this "leak" for a while, and compared it to the actual website that this was supposed to be from.
First off, let's talk about what OP said regarding the leak. It's supposed to be from zinio.com, which exists, and is an incredibly popular magazine website (from what I found on the internet at least), so that much stands. It does carry Game Informer, which is also kind of important. However, now we begin dethroning this usurper of a leak.
This is what one of their pages for purchasing a magazine looks like. The similarities are... well... non existant. As you can see, they charge $5 for one issue, and $20 for a 12 month subscription. The price on here shows a $15 price tag for one issue, but this could just be a mistake, as it is, infact, a "leak". That's not really the biggest issue anyways with this. All of the formatting is way off, in the example I posted there isn't even a "Order now at Amazon" button! There's an add to cart one, sure, but not an amazon button. We're just getting started.
They never list a description for the issue. It's for the magazine as a series, but not for the individual. Besides that, it's in the wrong place regardless. Posting something early isn't an excuse for a total formatting overhaul. No matter how badly you want this, and trust me I understand, you can't argue that.
There's obviously some smaller things I haven't mentioned, but really guys. It's just a shame that people still waste their time making things like this to send a whole community up in arms.
