R.I.P. EGM


So they're gone... and I'm personally responsible.

That's right. A couple of weeks ago I got a call from a nice young lady imploring me to renew my subscription to Electronic Gaming Monthly. I swiftly refused. My reasons are my own (a pear needed eatin') but they seem petty in retrospect.

And so to you, Ziff-Davis, I extend my most heartfelt apologies. You needed my help and I kicked you in the metaphorical junk.

Next time you're in the neighborhood Ziffy, give me a ring. Drinks on me.

Wait, so EGM doesn't exist anymore? Really? Is it just going to be a website from now on?

EGM as a brand (as far as I know) is dead. The team that produced the mag were on the net at 1up.com But most of them got fired. It's effectively gone.

Wow. That magazine was a huge, huge part of my junior high and high school years.

That's so weird to hear that it's done with.
