@Ryu_Niiyama Of course it has merit! I loved Brady Games! I was lucky a few months back. I was looking for the guide for Pokémon XD Gale of Darkness. One of the guys from Prima that I watch on stream found the special edition with the sparkly cover and sent it to me. I still have it and will never let go of it. I also have the Zelda treasure chest. Thought about selling it at one point but not now!
@Stuffgamer1 Choosing what games to make a guide for isn't a choice of the guide company, it's a choice of the producers of the games. They commission the companies to create a guide. So a guide not being made isn't the fault of the guide company but rather the game producers. Also, with regards to mistakes, anyone can make a mistake. The online guides people post can have mistakes as well.
This makes me so sad. Over the past year I've come to know some of Prima's employees through interactions on streams and Twitter. Love their guides and hate to see this happen, especially around the holidays. I'm really hoping they get good severance packages. Will definitely miss their guides as I have more than a few of them, including collector's guides.
I received my email that they were available and preordered one. I noticed today that the money they took out went back into my account but I have not yet received a cancellation notice. I chatted with Walmart and they confirmed it was sent out too soon and would be available this weekend instead. But this just leaves a bad taste in my mouth for Walmart preorders. I'll wait for Amazon or GameStop to have them and preorder there. I didn't get an NES Classic because I couldn't stand in line. Secret of Mana is my favorite SNES game and it's worth the price to me, but not worth all this hassle. Really irks me they did this!

Re: Strategy Guide Publisher Prima Games Is Shutting Down After 28 Years
@Ryu_Niiyama They merged into just Prima Games in 2015. So not that long again, to be honest, but still it's been a few years.
Re: Strategy Guide Publisher Prima Games Is Shutting Down After 28 Years
@Ryu_Niiyama Prima actually purchased BradyGames so they were one and the same after the purchase.
