Is COMPUTE!'s Gazette really being revived ?

Not sure if this is an April Fool's joke, or maybe a scam. Please proceed with caution:

If it's legitimate, I don't like that it's covering all retro computers - e.g. Apple, Atari, PC, Commodore, etc. If they want it to be that broad, why not just call it COMPUTE! like the flagship title back in the day, instead of COMPUTE!'s Gazette?

If they're calling it Gazette, they should just focus on Commodore platforms, from the PET all the way up to the Amiga and its derivatives !

I agree Compute vs Compute’s Gazette, lots of fond memories typing in programs from both!

I currently subscribe to a printed newsletter Juiced.GS that covers Apple II news: https://juiced.gs/ - I’ve wanted something similar that covers the Commodore scene, maybe this is it. Thanks for posting!

As far as 8-bit Commodore coverage, there are current magazines like FREEZE64, ZZAP! 64, and K&A Plus. And for Amiga fans, there's Amiga Addict and Amiga Future. But the one thing they all have in common is that they're produced in Europe.

If this Gazette revival isn't a hoax, it's an opportunity for a North American voice to be published. But I'm still not liking the lack of Commodore exclusivity in this revival, though.
