RIP EGM

[Slothy]

Meh. I'll give them credit for typically having the balls to say what they thought right from the beginning, but I stopped reading EGM years ago when I noticed a few instances of them printing things that were regarded as rumour (and even proven to be rumour before the issues came out) as fact. It's not something that happened all the time and it wasn't always blatant, but it was enough to make me question their credibility and therefore drop them like a bad habit. I've even seen former editors admit this happened too often after they moved on to other jobs/companies.

Still not as bad as former Game Informer editors admitting that the review scores are just what they think the general public will rate the game.

I'm kind of upset for nolstalgia reasons. All their best staff is on 1up.com anyway, which is much, much better than EGM right now.

With 30+ people fired from 1UP as part of the merger, that is sadly not the case.

I can't even remember what Ziff Davis magazines I used to subscribe to. They didn't suit my gaming magazine style. Nothing could competently replace Game Players. I guess EGM will be missed. But it doesn't really bother me. The best magazine already died long ago
