Did you pick up the latest issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly? You know, the January 2009 issue? Do yourself a favor and take really good care of it. I mean, really good care of it. Give it a bouquet of flowers and nice treatment… it might be a collectable one of these days.
Why is that? Because that’s the last issue of EGM you’ll ever get.
If you haven’t heard the news, the long-running magazine, which would have celebrated its 20th anniversary, has been cancelled after parent company Ziff-Davis sold the online component of the 1UP network to the company that runs the UGO sites.
You know, that’s kind of sad. Especially considering what a great mag EGM used to be… before its untimely cancellation. I used to remember back when my brother would pick up some issues back in the mid-90s; those guys did some great stuff. While I haven’t been a regular reader in recent years, the couple issues I would pick up were always great reads regardless of what was featured.
So all the folks involved with the EGM run, I just want to say thanks for the good times and the fun ride… and good luck out there.
