Wow...I was an EGM'er from like 1992 until like 2006...when I finally realized I don't even read the magazine anymore...but sad to see it go...

Quote:
...According to a statement received by Gamasutra, Ziff Davis Media has now officially announced the sale of the 1UP Digital Network to Hearst's UGO Entertainment division.

The sale includes 1UP.com, Mycheats.com, Gametab.com, and GameVideos.com, and specific financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

In association with this, Ziff Davis Media's EGM Magazine, a consumer game print mainstay since 1989, will be discontinued. The January 2009 issue will be the final printed issue....

I heard that EGM was going out of print, but I didn't know that they were killing the internet site and all that as well. O_o That sucks. >_<

I've never read an EGM issue in my entire life. (Back then, I read TIPS & TRICKS magazine...was really good but in 2007 they stopped. :larry: ) Or look into 1UP.com for that matter.



But man...that's horribly sad. :sadshoe:

Video game magazines have been useless for the past four or five years;

- 99% of the content is extremely dated thanks to the internet.
- Reviews have become biased and uninformative.
- At least 2/5 of magazines are advertisements now. At least.
- Most of them have become unreasonably priced.

I stopped reading video game magazines (EGM, specifically was my last one) when I was looking through the reviews section and realized how every single review was a piece of shit that skipped important details and obsessed over pointless dribble. Many times you'd see people reviewing games from genres they clearly stated they didn't like, then ended up giving the game a bad review. All of the writers, for the previews and columns as well, were snarky in hopes of coming off sounding cool and entertaining.

Looking at any other gaming magazine outside of EGM just looked like vomit... EGM was sadly the best video game magazine out there, and even it had turned to shit.

Good riddance.

I'm gonna miss EGMs' magazine,
Never went on the site before though...

I'm gonna miss the Hsu and Chan comics on the back of every EGM issue.
