Veteran US gaming mag Electronic Gaming Monthly has been cancelled after 20 years of reporting gaming news.
Publishers, Ziff Davis, had been looking to sell off EGM and 1up.com for quite some time to help relieve their debt problems. They finally managed to offload the website and magazine to UGO Entertainment. Unfortunately, UGO decided to drop the axe on EGM and much of 1up.com’s popular and innovative video and podcast content including the 1up Show in a bid to save money.
Farewell to EGM and the best of luck to all the staff from both EGM and 1up.com that now find themselves without jobs. Thanks for all your hard work over the years. You will be missed. A list of the casualties to the sale can be found here.
