Gameinformer is better, but I liked EGM, almost bought one yesterday. Hopefully this isnt the begging of the end for gaming mags and sites.

I mean out of 4 game mags I have ever read 2 are out of bisnuss now.

We're not honestly celebrating the demise of a company and the loss of jobs, are we?...musicalmac

Yes.

EGM sucks. And if this really was an important matter then I would have a drink but it isnt.

People lose jobs all the time. But they will find new ones.

I have explained this to so many people before. If your company sucks then it needs to die.

People never seem to look at the bigger picture.

A crappy company is going to die and better companies will either take they're place or take their market share.

Gamepro went out of buisness, I didnt even know that, make that 3/4. No the 4th was OPM, I got an issue of that once.

I was hoping this "EGM gets owned after Lair" title was implying a strong rebuke from a well-respected developer/critic, either on the game specifically or something like their reviews being totally erratic for hyped games.

I don't really like to see anyone lose their jobs, but I can't say I ever found EGM to be useful for reviews, so I haven't bought their product in ages.

Karma? No. Bad luck? Yes.

They can review games however they want. It has nothing to do with their bankruptcy though.

Dreams-Visions

There's no such thing as karma or bad luck. But you can have bad management, poor journalists, lack of good direction and lack of innovation in the product that will cause you to loose readers and ultimately, your company.

You obviously haven't played CSS then. Or video games such as Mario Kart.

i've got my party hat on and a kazoo in my mouth wailing 'for he's a jolly good fellow'. I moved ahalf-a-yearago and those jerks STILL haven't gotten me a mag in the last3 months even after i've had to call to correct my address TWICE!

Tell me you are joking. So because you didn't get your magazine, you couldn't care less about all of those people losing their jobs. What are you, 5?

I used to LOVE the hell out of EGM and still think it is the best videogame mag out there. But I remember years ago (back in the MK2 days of arcades) when the magazine was like $6 (cad) and was like 400 pages of pictures and game news. Over the years the magazine kept getting smaller and smaller with less and less content other than reviews.

Yeah, back in the day, EGM was HUGE. It was my main source of news on games prior to the Internet.

It is bad news if gaming loses a media outlet like the Ziff Davisgroup, including 1 up and EGM. I prefer Gamespot but the other sites all have something to give and the more outlets we have, the better. I hope that if Ziff can't reorganize its debt, it can at least reorganizes in bankruptcy and sells off or continues operation of its gaming sites and publications. I

I don't read EGM but as far as fanboyism goes, no one in history is more obvious, unobjective and a bigger cow than Shane on 1 UP Yours. That guy is beyond belief. But at least the other participants recognize that.

I would not doubt it if 1up.com and EGM get purchased by a third party. EGM is an okay magazine, but 1up has some of the best podcasts and the 1up show is always excellent. The people over at 1up are very intelligent (with at least one exception for Garnett Lee), and I can't help but think that an outfit with this much talent will go to the wayside.

It's their own fault for going down under. They seem to be bashing every game and the PS 3 as well. Game Informer is a much better magazine. I don't know what the hell happend to EGM. But that's not the EGM of old. Everything that has a beginning had an end. -The Oracle.

i'm surprised M$ didn't help. EGM did like 5 cover stories on Halo 3.sPOON_f33dU

why would MS be obligated to? And Bungie was payed to give them all that info, bungie was also payed by other magazines to release other information.

don't be so ignorant. A company going bankrupt is nothing funny, nor is it justified because they didn't like lair. Be a human for a moment instead of a fanboy.

it's their own fault they are going bankrupt because they disliked some games? :roll: yeah, that makes sense.
