"Gambling" has been published since September 1997. At the origins of the magazine were two people - Evgeny Isupov and Alexander Parchuk. In the past, they published books from the “Best Computer Games” series, and then decided to try their hand at the publishing business. The name of the magazine was invented by Nina Rozhdestvenskaya, one of the first editors of Igromaniya.
The first issue of “Gambling” was printed in approximately 16,000 copies, but when returns began, the circulation had to be reduced. At first, the magazine was printed on a risograph and was black and white; only the cover was printed in color. By mid-1998, it was decided to switch to full-color printing, complete part of the circulation with a CD, and from September also with an A3 poster, but due to the August crisis these plans had to be abandoned for some time.
At first, “Gaming Mania” could not decide on platform preferences - the first issue contained games for PlayStation, and the second issue was entirely devoted to them. However, then the publication was completely reoriented towards the personal computer.
2000s
In December 1999, Denis Davydov, who had previously worked at Hacker, and even earlier, in 1997, created the Gaming World Navigator, was appointed to the post of editor-in-chief of Gambling Mania. Davydov began to reform the magazine, and by 2003 almost nothing remained of its previous concept. From a magazine of guides and walkthroughs, “Gaming” turned into an “omnivorous” publication that wrote about literally everything. As the magazine “Kommersant: The Secret of the Company” wrote about this period, the topic of Gambling “has long gone beyond the scope of simple reviews of gaming novelties. Here are articles about board games, programming and even fantasy stories» .
Guides and walkthroughs were first reduced in volume and then translated into separate magazine- “Best computer games” (LKI). For some time, the “Guides and Walkthroughs” section still appeared on the “Gaming Mania” DVD, but then disappeared altogether. In the same 2003, the Tekhnomir publishing house launched two more magazines that developed “side” topics for “Gaming Mania”: “World of Fiction”, dedicated to science fiction and fantasy, and Mobi, dedicated to mobile phones and other gadgets.
In May 2003, the post of editor-in-chief was taken by Oleg Polyansky, who until that moment had been the editor of the gaming section of the magazine, and Denis Davydov moved to the position of director of the publishing house. During the period of the annual management of Igromania by Oleg Polyansky, some structural changes took place in the magazine and new sections were created in accordance with the previous concept of the publication. During this period, the competing publishing house Gameland offered Tekhnomir to sell Igromaniya, but was refused. Gameland launched its own magazine in the “Gaming Mania” format, “PC Games,” which lasted until 2012.
In August 2004, Alexander Kuzmenko became the editor-in-chief of Igromaniya. After six months of changes in the structure and rubrication of the magazine, Kuzmenko chose politics gradual development magazine and turning it into a popular publication aimed at the most massive segment of the Russian audience of computer game lovers. The circulation of the publication in 2007-2008 exceeded 200 thousand copies, the maximum circulation was 240,498.
2010s
In June 2010, the magazine acquired the status of a multiplatform publication. Around the same time, Alexey Makarenkov became editor-in-chief. During this period, Igromaniya began to master digital distribution, and the online store Igromaniya Digital appeared. Production began in November 2013 electronic version"Gaming" for iPad, which is sold as an application in the App Store.
In 2013, as a result of reorganization, the Tekhnomir publishing house, which publishes Igromania and World of Fantasy, was transformed into the Igromedia publishing house. Around the same time, “Gaming” shifted its focus from the print magazine to the website and Youtube channel, which were experiencing rapid growth amid a decline in the circulation of the paper edition. The main content of the magazine began to consist of reprints of articles from the site.
At the beginning of the summer of 2015, the post of editor-in-chief of the Igromania magazine was taken by Gevorg Akopyan, editor-in-chief of the Igromania.ru website. At the same time, he retained the position of editor-in-chief of the site, and also took on the functions of editorial director.
On March 1, 2016, Gevorg Hakobyan leaves the post of editor-in-chief of Igromaniya. His place is taken by deputy editor-in-chief Yan Kuzovlev. Oleg Chimde becomes the editor-in-chief of the Igromania.ru website. The functions of the editorial director were taken over by video producer Alexey Shunkov.
In August 2016, several employees of Igromaniya announced their departure - the magazine's editor-in-chief Yan Kuzovlev, deputy editor-in-chief Artemy Kozlov, editor-in-chief Zakhar Bocharov, head of the Twitch direction Artavazd Muradyan and the site's editor-in-chief Oleg Chimde. Subsequently, almost all of these employees went to work for the DTF publication. The position of the magazine's editor-in-chief is occupied by Evgeniy Peklo, author of igromania.ru, former author and editor of the magazine
