Great consternation was experienced in the journalistic community specializing in video games just a few days after the announcement of the sudden closure of Electronic Gaming Monthly The most important video game magazine in the world, after the publisher Ziff Davis sold to a website the 1up Network, responsible for the popular magazine and website 1up.com.

EGM was characterized from its beginnings in the late eighties to be a reliable source reliable news and reviews on all relevant games as they emerged. More than once, advertisers gauge Capcom and Acclaim withdrew their advertising will not agree with the rating assigned to one of their games. The humor was also a fundamental part of the charm of this publication, clearly exemplified by the teacher's monthly column Seanbaby.

Unfortunately the current global crisis coupled with the fact that most gamers get their news online were the cause of Ziff Davis decided to get rid of the magazine of the most important issue in the last twenty years. EGM never lost money, however, prominent decline in advertising revenue next year meant the guillotine. If the best he could fall, where is the independent print publications in the future?

The first issue I bought ... back in 1993.

could be months without play, but never buy the EGM. Since then that number bought almost all the 200 issues published.
