So... the rebirth of the magazine did nothing to retain subscribers? Are they just going to ask everyone to pony up the yearly cost just because they're under new management...
"Yes, salacious bikini shots for people afraid of real pornography..."
Remember Jim, not all of us like to watch women/men being shat on.

Surely they can't legally do this?
At least not without offering a subscription cancellation / refund?
I mean, I subscribe to Total Guitar and would be seriouslly pissed if they decided to start sending me Piano Today or Hello kitty Weekly or something instead.

"After all, they are the only print magazine brave enough to voice what we all know -- that 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand is better than Killzone 2."
...I thought it was better than Killzone 2.
Anyway, the issue that you get comes with an explanation note as to why you're receiving it. All you have to do is mail a letter to get a pro-rated refund for whatever is left on your EGM subscription. I'm getting $20 back.
But, it's easier to be sensationalist about it and leave off the important piece in the linked article about the ability to cancel and get a refund.

Lovely enough, my Dad opened up the magazine's shrinkwrap and likely threw out the instructions on how to get the refund for my issues instead of the crappy magazine, since he has the same name as me. Anyone else have the instructions handy?
@JamnOnTheOne You seem to be yet another assbag wandering virtual streets you have no business treading. Go put your troll comments on a shitty game site instead of a great one. Dumbass
LMAO I just received this yesterday and thought it was fucked that they would send a porn mag for underage boys/life manual for frat tards to replace the awesomeness of EGM. I just wonder how many moms raised an eyebrow when this arrived in the mail with their kids name on it XD . Kind of a strange choice I think.
Also, not to be a downer, but t's very sad Maxim is able to thrive while EGM is no more :(

Chill out a bit. I don't see why you're flipping out on Jamn. He's not trolling, and when you say that someone is "wandering virtual streets", you sound like a goddamn idiot. Next time, think before you talk/type/breathe.
I do agree with what Jamn says, though. A bit of info on how to get the rebate would've been nice. I think I've still got a month or two left of EGM, but I don't mind Maxim that much, it's something easy to read that I can use to pass time.

Now I just need some issues of Highlights For Children and I can recreate that dentist office waiting room experience in my own home.
@Blasto: That was the first thing I thought of... all of the young kids who got EGM and whether or not their parents will overreact.
I hope this doesn't apply to free subscribers.

@CP:
Completely agree with Otomiruninja, that was totally unnecessary. Especially when you also consider Jim's promotion of a gold selling website the other day :-/

Oh Jim you're such a provocateur. I'm surprised the article is not at 100 comments already. Maybe next time just write about how much better FFXIII and Tekken 6 will look on 360 xD
Well, this explains the random Maxim issue delivered to the house yesterday. And here I thought my roommate was trying to send his girlfriend a hint. Lolz.
@ anti-poopy guys
to be fair, while Poopy was kinda harsh, Jim did say at the bottom of the post that a refund was available. I don't see why Jim needed to include the info in a simple, article meant to add some humour to a slow news day as people affected- (unless their dad threw it away :) - will get the label with the mag. And Jamn said 50 cent is better than Killzone 2 which sounds retarded. Both sides bear some blame I think :)

The refund shall allow me to buy those Killzone 2 maps that my broke ass hasn't gotten yet. That's definitely better than this. I already know how to use the internet and I have a PSP. So I see no point in keeping the subscription to portable semi-porn. Now I just need my issue delivered so I can cancel and get my money.
Well fuck me. My subscription was sent to my extremely conservative grandmothers house because when I signed up I was in the middle of looking for a new place. This will not be fun trying to explain why I'm getting "porno" mailed to her house.
I was venting @JamnOnTheOne because he said KZ2 is better than Blood on the Sand, which is really a noob thing to say. @Otomiruninja Nice try at seeming funny, better luck next time. One day you'll be hanging out with real girls, I have faith in you. *ROFL*
GOT MY VIRTUAL GIRLS
I DONT NEED NO STANK ASS REAL GIRLS. THEY DON'T GET ME.
VIRTUAL PIMP, SON. WORD.

I'm all good with Maxim, but what if younger kids had a subscription to EGM before and now Maxim shows up? Like what @StokeYdral said above....could make for weird situations :(
Here I thought my girl had filled out the subscription card in one of the magizines I picked up when I knew it was gonna be slow @ work. Leave it to Destructoid to solve the world's mysteries. Guess I'll keep it and pay EGM some more money.
@Cataract Don't you have something better to do? Like maybe playing the piano to Game Melody Oratorio Volumes 1 and 2? Yeeeaaahhh that's I thought lmao.
I used to do retouching for Maxim. While the girls are hot, they look a lot more like bar skanks without teh photoshop.
@Necros
Glad to help, no one should have to suffer Maxim (although your dad may be disappointed lol)
@ Collette
You don't have to be good with Maxim. It's ok to say Maxim is shitty garbage, everyone will still love you :)
@ lol @ Waves, too true, but I would say a lot of them look that way AFTER the shoops

Maxim: the official magazine of douchebags who rate supermodels and actresses without introspectively looking at their own lives as an overweight security guard at SEARS.
@Pwnan
So true. I've never been a prude, but when people start busting out the ratings system excessively and shit, I just go "dude ugly as shit, wtf".

@ Magnalon
You can't just say "dude ugly as shit, wtf", you have to have a number with it to validate your review, duh!

Shit, this has been going on for a while, no? I started getting MAXIM in the mail about a year ago and I always just assumed it was some lazy sales kid just plugging in my address. Would have been nice to know the money I paid to EGM was funding this craptastic "literature".
Seriously, I would rather my money go to Cat Fancy magazine than some Axe bodyspray swilling recycled paper softcore stroke mag. I would rather pay extra to have back issues of EGM sent to my house instead of this mountain bike humping waste of ink.

@CommanderPoopypants
I don't know if it's a n00b thing to say, but I really am extracting more enjoyment out of the outrageous antics of 50 Cent versus KZ2. That's just my taste however. Maybe my lack of "?" for implied sarcasm was missing.
Either way, the original post has been updated and information is being disseminated properly.

Haha, this explains a lot. Yesterday I got an issue in the mail which was first discovered by my sister. It was somewhat awkward trying to explain I knew nothing about it with my full name, address, and subscription number printed on the front cover.
I've gotten packages clearly intended for someone else in the past. Thing is, my high school used to have a subscription to this and other gaming magazines. I can't wait to hear the reaction from them.
