Two Ziff-Davis Magazines Cancelled

Posted by Zonk on from the dead-tree-media-taking-some-hits dept.

Starsmore writes "IGN is reporting that Ziff-Davis Media has pulled the plug on two of its magazines: Xbox Nation (XBN) and GMR (the collaborative effort with EB Games), for undisclosed reasons. Andrew Pfister (GMR Editor) confirms the report as well via 1up.com " From his post: "The news has broken over the Intraweb, and unfortunately, the documents are real. As of the February issue, GMR is being discontinued. Subscribers will be the only ones to receive the February issue, and all subscribers will have the option to switch over to another Ziff mag."

    In other news, the circulation of clay tablets telling the saga of Gilgamesh continues to decline, and the practice of attaching messages to the legs of birds is showing no signs of revival.

    Information wants to be anthropomorphized.

  2. Don't let me subscribe to your magazine by Reapman · · Score: 2, Funny

    seriously... i'm bad luck. I almost never subscribe, only done it twice. First it was Compute (I think, anyways), what i considered a wonderful mag back when I subscribed to it (early 90s?), had programming snippits, what i considered half decent reviews and such... and then got forced over to some unremarkable mag about 4 months after i subscribed to them, as Compute got pulled. 5 days ago I signed up for GMR (after getting it with the EB Edge card previously) and now they are cancelling them, too. From now on I only subscribe to magazines I hate...
