Are paper game guides dead ?

Many years ago i used to collect game guides i still have a few such as my killer instinct gold guide but now days i do not bother.

The issue is now that with the updating of games the games can change a lot especially with fighting games i remember watching on youtube panel with some people who worked on the injustice game guide and comparing the game at launch to what it is now. While a lot of the game guide can still be of use there will be some that is no use.

It is not only with fighting games games like destiny which are changing rapidly and of course addon packs being released.

Now to resolve that often you can get a Eguide to download on its own or bought with the physical book itself.

With that though you can often get countless guides online sites like ign or gamefaqs do a decent enough job to  make a eguide useless.

In the end what i think they need to do is to add a bit of extra value to the guides while official art is nice for me its not a must buy i would like to see a dvd video guide interviews and making of the game and that i would love to see.
