EGM RIP PDF
Yesterday, while the rest of the magazine staff cleaned out their offices as Citizen Kane played on loop in the background, EGM's Editor-in-Chief and fashionista James Mielke updated his 1up blog to reveal that, while their February issue will never see newsstands, it will be made available on 1up, complete with ads, sometime in the near future. Hopefully they go with a nice portable format like PDF and not just a bunch of web pages. We all know how volatile those can be, particularly these days.

On the 1up podcast with all the fired people: they mentioned printing off 100 or so magazines and auctioning them off.
The Watchmen cover was even worse. "The End is Nigh."
Ugh....
I think it's a totally depressing shame. But I look forward to the last one. Everyone will get to enjoy it.
Literally 1 day after I renewed my subscription. The 1up editors(now former 1up editors) will always be some of my favorite people ever and a lot of them have been a huge inspiration for me. I really look forward to seeing what they do next. Best-case scenario= Giant Bomb just got bigger. Maybe? Pretty please.
I let my sub expire in October there just wasn't enough to make me want to drop the cash to keep it going, by the time it popped up in my mailbox most of the news was old anyway.
If anything I'll miss their threatening "Resubscribe" letters more than anything.
I can actually go to a printing press and print them out if I have the PDF files. I don't think EGM will really mind, as they're kind of not in business anymore.
Well, at least I have their last issue..which is kind of cool in a sad way.
..Even though the issue wasn't very good :/
