I hadn't read an EGM in years to be honest. Actually now that I think about it the only print items I get are stuff that I got as a freebie for signing up for an online service.
I liked EGM and had read it for years but as many have pointed out above it is just the print industry going down. I canceled my Playboy subscription this month after......13 years. When I had Game Informer it was only because I got a bundle deal on my PS3 when it came out from Gamestop and it had a 1 year subscription in the bundle. I get Sporting News magazine as a freebie for signing up to their online Fantasy football and baseball website, same with ESPN the magazine, I get it because I am an inSider member of the ESPN online services.
Then of course there is the firsthand experience, I worked for a newspaper in the pressroom, actually printing the paper until I got laid off on my 3 year anniversary to the day. So I can attest to print media in general going down.
EGM will be missed though, I recall it being a good magazine. Does anyone know if Gamepro is still around?
