Thank you very much! I totally agree with you, even if it is becoming increasingly difficult for niche magazines. But we won't give up 💪

I'm also taking over the leadership of SPACE4GAMES and will try to keep this beloved gaming ship on course together with my long-time colleague Ilona Frank. (9/11)

In addition to my freelance work for heise online, I'll also be working as a freelancer for other media outlets in the future, focusing on my core topics of virtual reality, gaming, and entertainment - at least as long as I can operate a keyboard. (8/11)

That's why I'm very grateful that I'll be able to continue pursuing this passion in the future. My former MIXED colleague Tomislav Bezmalinović and I will help advance the XR topic area on heise online going forward. (7/11)

I love following an industry that, despite all obstacles, continues to produce amazing things. I love trying new things, observing developments, listening to creatives, and seeing how their visions slowly grow. And of course, I love writing about all these experiences. (6/11)

For me, the past few years, especially the last two as the lead editor primarily responsible for organization, content planning, and coordinating writers, have been an incredible time! (5/11)

In the end, however, it wasn't enough to finance an editorial team and justify the economic maintenance of the website. (4/11)

For the past six years, I've been part of a journey with many ups and downs. We've stuck to a niche for years, covering a technology that may never break through to the mainstream but has found a loyal and passionate fanbase worldwide. (3/11)

After almost exactly ten years, an era in German online journalism is coming to an end. Germany's first and most popular magazine for virtual and augmented reality is closing its doors. MIXED will no longer operate as an independent website but will be integrated into heise online. (2/11)

Great idea 👍 VR fitness has always been the only exercise I can get myself to do on a regular basis. My all-time favorite is Synth Riders. It's simple yet effective and I love the music. And oh my god how devastating Until You Fall can be 😆

Richtig so, schön Zeit lassen 👍 Allein die Belichtung... Wie oft ich einfach nur stehen geblieben bin, um zu genießen ☺️

Das kommt dabei raus, wenn man sich auf ein paar wichtige Spielmechaniken konzentriert, anstatt eine möglichst gigantische Spielwelt mit Schrott aufzublasen. Hoffe, Avowed wird ein Erfolg und macht Schule
