I don’t know the specifics of why the magazine is shutting down, but it seems to be casualty of websites taking over the game news/reviews market.

Alright. After doing a little reasearch, I think I see what has happened. Ziff Davis sold EGM and 1UP.com to UGO, who immediately cancelled EGM and fired about fifty people from 1UP.com so they can completely rework it. I can understand EGM getting cancelled, because gaming magazines are a dieing medium, but fifty people getting fired from a successful site is just unspakable. Screw you, Ziff Davis and screw you, UGO.
