I will subscribe.
While I am sure I am in the vast minority EGM in the past few years really fell off IMHO. So much so that I find that Game Informer seems to be the source that gets information first and runs with it.Â
I Hope this will return them to the good ol days.Â
I concur, cosmo. Once they got rid of the number grades, then reduced down to one reviewer per game on many games I became less interested.
I also found that the tone was becoming more inappropriate towards the end. As much as I love Seanbaby's humor in his column, that kind of juvenile bodily function humor started to appear in the main articles.
Since I had a subscription to EGM until september, I now am getting Maxim instead of EGM with a little note on the cover telling me why I am getting Maxim instead. Lame.Paully3433
Nice cover story. I got bupkis for my EGM and I had 2 years left on my subscription.Â
I can't believe that Maxim is supposed to be an equivalent for EGM. I'm cancelling IMMEDIATELY. As in, right now. Maxim was good when it first came out, with a good balance of content about gadgets and interesting stories, but now is way too much about nudity. I mean, if you want pr0n, buy it. I don't, and I don't want a "men's magazine" either.
I just feel badly for the kids who will likely have Maxim mailed to them "in place of" EGM.

Ya know, I am glad I found this thread cause I was oblivious as to why I was getting Maxim. I told my wife it had to be a friend doing it as a joke cause I would never subscribe. Though, I never had any message anywhere on the mag saying it was in place of EGM.
As far as EGM coming back I feel (if they really do) it will be web-only. I rather have print form myself but it seems gaming mags in the US as least are dying off quickly with nothing to replace them. UK mags are still going strong.

I think it is hilarious that you guys are getting Maxim. "No really Honey, this is because I subscribed to a gaming magazine that went bust because after they were taken over by Ziff-Davis which then started to spread the talent thin through their various properties and over-spent on aquiring new assets and given the current economic environment they were unable to find suitable levels of credit to balance their debt leading to a minimalization of there ongoing interests. Â THAT'S why I'm looking at boobies in a magazine. Â Hon... Honey!?"
That's what I don't get UK mags still going strong...hesel
UK magazines are a completely different business model because of the centralization of the UK population in London. Less stores and less miles means less spoilage of mags.

Guess I spoke too soon. I just got three Maxims in the mail.
