Sounds to me like EGM is going to be seeing the same fate as all those other Ziff Davis magazines are.

hey man, do not diss EGM. they are still going strong. lets hope they always will because i do not want my subsciption to be gone early just like OPM and PSM when they stopped. EGM is OPM's sister magazine, so lets hope they, along with PC Gamer keep going strong.

Does this mean they'll give high scores to more than just fighting games now?

Question : Why do you care if I have a low opinion of a gaming magazine?

Question 2/follow up: Are you a paid employee of EGM?

Anyway, I'll stick to the topic and say this change over at EGM means nothing because EGM will still be as crooked as the writers of all the other gaming mags and sites who accept freebies and other stuff in exchange to giving good reviews and scores.

sry for over-reacting, i am just a big fan of EGM. and i hate it when people say something is crooked when they do not know anything about it. and no, i am not an employee.

Yes and? I'm making an observation that the blog talks about how hard things were going for the issue and how Ziff Davis has been cutting magazines and here's another article about how hard things are going for Ziff Davis: http://www.joystiq.com/2008/03/05/ziff- ... rotection/

so, for one, if you see things on the internet, it may not even be the truth. for instance, that stupid thing with fox 12 saying mass effect was a porn game, and the person read it off some random blog that meant nothin'. aaaaannd, just because davis has cut some magazines, there is no true evidence that he will cut EGM, and if you listened to the 2 latest EGM podcasts like a good boy, you would have found that he will not be any time soon. so

. i win.

sorry if i seem a little bit angry today, i have had a really crappy day.

I have no vested interest in any of this argument, so, goufx, I'm going to be perfectly unbiased towards one side or the other when I say:

a) Stop being a condescending ass.

b) Don't bring your crappy day over to us. Nobody appreciates it, and we'll make your day a lot crappier if you do.

You are not making a very good impression here. Shape up or you're gone.

Now then. Carry on.
