Seems like it's hard to be a PC Mag now in days...

I would be more surprised if EGM stays in print for another year than if it gets canned and moved to 1Up only. Subscriptions have been dropping, most people get their news/reviews/features on the Internet now anyway, and all of the free subscription offers floating around certainly don't help with matters.

Definitely hard to keep a print mag profitable nowadays. Game Informer seems to be doing okay, but they also have tons of exclusives (which they are likely paying a large sum for) and some of the best editorial pieces in print.
The hardcore crowd would likely love to see The Escapist in print, but I doubt that will ever happen.

The loss of a print magazine would be sad, but obviously not shocking. I don't think print media is going to die, but can video game mags find a way to survive? I think the question partly lies in whether people will pay to read content aside from the exclusive review and preview. But that's another story..

EGM is totally going to consolidate into one awesome 1UP team in the future.

I wonder if the reason The Agency was postponed was because Sony wasn't sure how well it would compete in the current MMO market. It seems to be WoW with 85% of the market and everybody else fighting over the rest: maybe The Agency wouldn't be unique enough to grab a decent chunk of the market?

Paper is a thing of the past. Obsolete.

Better off saving trees and using silicon.

I'd hate to see EGM go because I do still love the gaming mags, but I doubt it'll be around much longer. Ziff Davis has already had some financial trouble, and it's just so much cheaper to post all the content online. As much as I hate to admit it, I think it's just a matter of time before we wave goodbye to EGM.
