EGM: A Thing of the Past

pic111
More details keep surfacing about the whole 1UP sale. It seems now that the final issue of EGM that was promised may never come to print. It will however be posted online for all to read. It’s better then nothing, but I wanted one more print issue, to read cover-to-cover, and to be able to say goodbye to one of the greatest gaming magazines of all time. Below I have attached a quote from EGM Editor-in-Chief James Mielke from his 1UP blog.

“I know it, [EGM] will live on in everyone’s memories as the best gaming magazine of the last twenty years, nearly as old as this favorite hobby of ours, but as of now it is no longer in publication or circulation. That said –and to clarify on what I stated in my previous blog– the final, secret, unpublished issue of EGM will show up here on 1UP shortly in the near future. You will be able to read every hi-res page, ads and all (last time I checked at least) on 1UP, to see the beautiful job that crew did, even with the guillotine hanging over our heads every minute of the day. I’m only posting the cover to it for now, but as you can tell, it’s quite an eye-catching, dynamic cover. I hope you enjoy the full, final issue. ” — James Mielke

    Holy crap, when did this happen? I’ve been a fan of EGM for several years now, but I had kinda got out of reading it in the last year or so. EGM was by far the best and most unbiased gaming magazine available, I can’t believe they’re shutting it down.
