Wow. That is sad to hear. EGM was one of my favorite print magazines and the only one with integrity and honesty. Looks like the only two multiplatform print magazines left are GamePro and GameInformer. Judging by how things are going, i would not be surprised if these two evenually tank as well. Just a sign of the times.

You gotta be f****** kidding me. I just renewed my subsciption two months ago...

Thats too bad to hear though. EGm was probably my favorite magazine.

Lets face it, with everything faster on the web these days, who needs print medium for gamingMrBelveder06

EGM was garbage (In my opinion) and I only bought one issue... I regret it. But Gameinformer isnt going to tank any time soon, and i happon to prefer it :D--Sinister--

I am seriously infuriated right now. I recently renewed my subscription and have only gotten 4 issues. Now I go to their customer service and it conveniently can't find my account.

FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUU

If you're a subscriber and you try to access your account now you are led here;

So basically looks like they're saying "Thanks for the cash... we're not sending you a damn thing now. Oh, and we deleted your account"

Honestly, EGM has been heading downhill for awhile now, so maybe it's for the better. They've rotated staff out so many times that it seems like every month there's a new person. The only person that's been there almost the entire time is Crispin Boyer. He's one of my favorites in the EGM staff. Crispin and Shawn Smith. I wish them all luck.

Edit: I have tons of EGM issues (pretty much consecutively) stretching back to 1996/1997 in boxes in my spare room. Each box weighs about 80-90 lbs and I think there's 3 of them. lol I was an avid EGM reader at the start. I always disliked GamePro though. I don't know, their mag seems so, generic and corny.
