The contents of the Games (magazine) page were merged into Games World of Puzzles on 29 October 2017. For the contribution history and old versions of the redirected page, please see its history; for the discussion at that location, see its talk page.

I'd vote against this. Though one was immediately succeeded by the other, Games and Games World of Puzzles have considerably different content; most of the sections of the current article would be outdated under the Games World of Puzzles title. If the two articles must be merged, I suggest that the Games title be kept and that the Games World of Puzzles "rebirth" be listed under a subsection, as is the current state of the article. 67.255.65.82 (talk) 01:14, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2015-11-20T01:14:00.000Z","author":"67.255.65.82","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-67.255.65.82-2015-11-20T01:14:00.000Z-Merge","replies":["c-71.55.139.75-2016-12-28T23:27:00.000Z-67.255.65.82-2015-11-20T01:14:00.000Z"]}}-->

Seems more like this one should be merged into the other, not the other way around as proposed. 71.55.139.75 (talk) 23:27, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2016-12-28T23:27:00.000Z","author":"71.55.139.75","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-71.55.139.75-2016-12-28T23:27:00.000Z-67.255.65.82-2015-11-20T01:14:00.000Z","replies":["c-Klbrain-2017-09-17T11:05:00.000Z-71.55.139.75-2016-12-28T23:27:00.000Z"]}}-->

Support initial direction of the merge, as the current combined title is "Games World of Puzzles" (that is, a merge of "Games" and "World of Puzzles" that occurred in 2014). I can see where the confusion arises, as the lede starts with history, rather than summarizing the content of the article - I'll correct this now.

GAMES magazine was the long-time recognized form of this media. Seems like it would lead off the article with some history and then go into a brief discussion of its lower circulation current form. I think they really missed the bandwagon on eurogames - just saying. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.90.163.10 (talk) 03:27, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2019-12-17T03:27:00.000Z","author":"75.90.163.10","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-75.90.163.10-2019-12-17T03:27:00.000Z-Merge","replies":[]}}-->

An editor has identified a potential problem with the redirect Games Magazine and has thus listed it for discussion.

• Withrawn. Games Magazine seems like an unofficial name of the entity. It awarded Game Magazine Awards etc. See https://boardgamegeek.com/wiki/page/Games_Magazine --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 09:52, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2022-07-04T09:52:00.000Z","author":"Piotrus","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Piotrus-2022-07-04T09:52:00.000Z-Piotrus-2022-07-04T09:47:00.000Z","replies":[],"displayName":"Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus"}}-->

The Talk page for the original article mentions (twice) that Playboy was not the original owner, and if I ever get a chance to dig my copies of the first issues out of storage, I can prove it. 108.24.202.139 (talk) 11:17, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20230827111700","author":"108.24.202.139","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-108.24.202.139-20230827111700-Information_(lost?_ignored?)_with_redirect","replies":["c-2001:569:FC9A:C100:A149:25AF:5ADD:EE0-20240629154900-108.24.202.139-20230827111700"]}}-->

I have Issue #1 and the editorial masthead shows the following info:

Published bi-monthly by Games Publications, Inc., 515 Madison Avenue, New York, N.Y. 10022. Copyright © 1977 by Games Publications, Inc. All rights reserved.

So it was not originally published by Playboy. 2001:569:FC9A:C100:A149:25AF:5ADD:EE0 (talk) 15:49, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240629154900","author":"2001:569:FC9A:C100:A149:25AF:5ADD:EE0","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-2001:569:FC9A:C100:A149:25AF:5ADD:EE0-20240629154900-108.24.202.139-20230827111700","replies":[]}}-->
