I have been reading EGM since it's existence. This is sad news :( Who knows what will happen to 1up.com?? I enjoy several of their podcasts. This should be interesting.

While I'm extremely saddened the magazine is now gone, I really hope the podcasts survive, 1UP Yours atleast.

Damn, that really sucks. EGM was the only gaming magazine I was still reading.

As much as I love getting information from the internet, the slow death of print makes me a Sad Panda.

Here's hoping the podcasts survive.

UGO.com legit sucks.

As long as their podcasts survive, I'm OK. I rarely visit 1up's website, and the only gaming mag I read is GameInformer, which I get "free" with the edge card from Gamestop.

i had a subscription to EGM until July 2011, this sucks!

I subscribed to EGM back in the day when it was great. Now I just get it because it's free. It was great back in the day, then it declined, and now it wasn't half bad. I still have EGM #1 somewhere at home.

I'll miss getting something to read on the shitter every month.

1UP hasn't confirmed the demise of EGM yet...but all signs point to it being announced within the next 24 hours or so http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3172156

Ok nevermind it looks official now........http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/new...hp?story=21759

How am I supposed to poop now? :(

It was the hurst company, not ugo.

1up will likely survive.

I'm guessing the Games Blog at UGO will be dissolved and whatever link they had setup for that will redirect to 1up.

I like UGO because it's, you know. Underground.






Online.

Yeah EGM used to be great long ago, then all of a sudden it changed several years ago. They started acting childish especially in their response to letters, and it felt like they were just trying to go for a younger gaming audience.

It sucks since I have a free subscription running till like 2012 hopefully they can transfer over that sub to something else. Similar to when PC accelerator and the official DC mag died they transferred the rest of my sub to gamepro.

No more 1UP yours either

Its all about the podcasts for me. I do have a bad feeling though. I still haven't gotten over Jeff Green and Shawn Elliot's departure. Sad day

Their retronaughts podcast is also quite good. Today I listened to the Atari 2600 30th anniversary podcast.

Wow, UGO sucks.
