It's no wonder, who buys gaming magazines now?
Especially for consoles with no games! ! ! !
(Darn this news for coming out now, not much earlier!)

I used to subscribe to PSM back in the day, until I found the Internets. Why did they have 3 mags anyway?
I used to read PSW religiously back in the day, it was and still is one of the funniest things I've ever read, comedy gold on every page, I wish I'd kept my old copies, the last page was always the best. Skip to the end!
That's a bummer. I don't read mags anymore but it's just a bummer to have so many people's jobs getting ducked over.
I know they say gaming is doing great but that doesn't neccesarily mean jobs in gaming are doing great. I wish we had some numbers or something on that. I mean an industry can make cash without making jobs.

Having three mags for something like PlayStation means that I'm not OVERLY concerned about this happening - but it does make me wonder whether we're losing our demand for print.
What makes a games magazine worth reading? Worth buying over reading it for free online? Promotions? Incentives? Exclusives?
Have we lost the need to physically hold our product, which is my main reason for still buying magazines?
Hmmmmm.

You guys realize that there are more things about magazines than news? In-dept stories for instance. I'm never ever gonna read a long article on the internet. A lot of people say "tl;dr" if a blog here on Dtoid is longer than the size of the screen. Try EDGE or GAMES(tm) for instance, they're great. The internet is way different than magazines. It's like comparing books on paper with their audio counterparts.
I love magazines and will buy them for as long as I can.

Shame, I used to get that mag. They didn't have Demos on their DVD,so i'd have to buy the official Playstation mag sometimes, but their writing was more amusing. Still have a few old copies on my shelf.
Print isn't dead, remember that they sometimes get exclusives that websites don't see until the magazine comes out. Of course, it is sad when stuff like this happens. I hope all those involved can find a job elsewhere.
I hope this doesn't become a recurring theme with print, as I really look forward to my magazines every month.
