EGM gone, but what about the subscribers?

I'm deeply hurt to see EGM go, but what's the plan with people like me - the ones who paid for a subscription?

Nothing was mentioned in Sam Kennedy's blog regarding how their loyal EGM subscribers were going to be taken care of in this acquisition, which I feel is a backhand to the EGM fans who supported the magazine. It seems like we've been completely forgotten in this matter.

Are there any other EGM subscribers concerned that we might get burnt in the deal? I sent an e-mail to EGM customer support on Wednesday asking what will become of my 13 months left on my subscription, but I haven't received a response yet. I wonder if I ever will.

If I get any additional information, I'll post it on here.

Yeah, I expect to get "burnt." I don't think there is much to be done about it either. The only consolation I can think of is off the table. Which is actually getting a proper "final" issue. But as we know, the Sorethumbs blog crew already said it was scrapped. :(

they hated Nintendo since 1998, its about time they died.

RaggleFraggle6318d ago

they are gone... I will forever miss those timeless Hsu and Chan comics, I will forever miss the colorful covers, of course I will miss the reviews, but I have a bright star to turn to that will never shine as bright as the one I know as EGM. It is called.. PC Gamer. Maybe we won't get 'burnt', but that is a 1 in a million chance considering that they sold themselves to their competitors.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster922d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
