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 !

It looks real to me and a bit of digging found that COMPUTE! Publications, Inc. is not the original owner of the Compute!'s Gazette publication. The original publication ceased in June 1990. COMPUTE! Publications, Inc. is described as "a new Texas-based venture launched this week" (April 2025).
