==''GameSetWatch''== '''''GameSetWatch''''' is an alternative video game weblog and sister site of ''Game Developer''. It is dedicated to collecting curious links and media for offbeat and often ignored games from old and new consoles, as well as digital downloads such as iOS, and indie spaces.<ref>{{Cite web|title=GameSetWatch|url=http://www.gamesetwatch.com/|publisher=Gamasutra|access-date=June 17, 2018|archive-date=June 17, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180617020502/http://www.gamesetwatch.com/|url-status=live}}</ref> ''GameSetWatch'' was founded by [[Simon Carless]] in November 2005. It was up and running for six years until its semi-permanent hiatus in November 2011. The site stopped as the creators saw an overlap of content with their sister site ''IndieGames.com'' and because they felt the mainstream gaming blogs were covering more of the "weirder" and alternative video game news.<ref name="Kotaku">{{cite web|author=Tracey Lien|url=https://www.kotaku.com.au/2011/12/gamepro-and-gamesetwatch-close-their-doors/|title=GamePro And GameSetWatch Close Their Doors|publisher=[[Kotaku]]|date=December 1, 2011|access-date=June 17, 2018|archive-date=June 17, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180617092905/https://www.kotaku.com.au/2011/12/gamepro-and-gamesetwatch-close-their-doors/|url-status=dead}}</ref> Those that contributed to the launch included [[Independent Games Festival|IGF]] chairman Brandon Boyer, ''[[GameTrailers]]'' stalwart Michael McWhertor, ''Game Developer'' news director [[Frank Cifaldi]], Alice Taylor, as well as ''Game Developer'' magazine EIC Brandon Sheffield.<ref>{{cite web|author=Eric Caoili|title=This Is The End, My Friend.|url=http://www.gamesetwatch.com/2011/11/this_is_the_end_my_friend.php|publisher=[[GameSetWatch]]|date=November 29, 2011|access-date=June 17, 2018|archive-date=June 17, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180617065841/http://www.gamesetwatch.com/2011/11/this_is_the_end_my_friend.php|url-status=live}}</ref>
