Imagine if you will that you are an avid video game player and for years your mother or Santa annually renewed your subscription to Electronics Gaming Monthly (EGM). The magazine was known as the most circulated game magazine until Game Informer came free with every GameStop Edge card purchase.
EGM went the way of the dinosaur this past February due in no small part to the medium it was shipped in and the economy. The beauty of the Internet is that gamers can hear and see industry leaks as they occur. Unfortunately, subscribers and readers of their online site, 1up.com were completely caught off guard – some opting to renew their subscriptions in February.
Now, subscribers have an alternative to seeking their money back – Maxim Magazine. That’s right, Kids who once read EGM to discover the latest Pokemon release or find out codes for the latest Tony Hawk title now have something else to “thumb through.”
Subscribers will receive a note with the latest issue of Maxim that will allow to them continue the subscription or get a refund. My advice: ditch the frat softcore porn and prepare to renew now that the founder Steve Harris now has the rights to print and online distribution.
