According to this article at Gamasutra, it seems Ziff Davis is toying with the idea of shutting down the last of its print operations - industry fixture Electronic Gaming Monthly.
The article states ZD's CEO, Jason Young, is considering moving the publication to an "online-only format".
I (like a lot of you guys, I suspect) have been reading EGM from the beginning, so this news is a bit of a shock - even for a jaded old sonofabitch like me. To see such a fixture in games periodicals teetering on the brink is sobering. What do you guys think about all this? Is there anything you'd miss about a physical, real paper EGM? And more importantly, can anyone honestly and seriously argue there is a God in a universe where Gamepro marches onward while EGM is laid to rest?
(Not like EGM is a great magazine, but as far as North American mags go: beggars can't be choosers...)
