Sad news today in the world of PC gaming. One of the more prolific PC gaming enthusiast publications announced that it is shutting down publication for “business reasons”. I’m afraid it’s true, the magazine once known as Computer Gaming World (and more recently as Games For Windows: The Offical Magazine) has gone the way of the Dodo, not unlike a number of other print publications in this new age of the internet. In fact, that’s just exactly what’s going to take GFW’s place.
In a blog post, former GFW Editor In Chief Jeff Green stated that him and the rest of the magazine’s editorial staff was going to stay with ZiffDavis, all working full time on the growing PC Gaming section of 1up.com. The publication’s art department was laid off unfortunately, and Jeff gives them heartfelt condolences on their impending unemployment.
I was a longtime fan of CGW/GFW and am sad to see it go, but I’m relieved to see Jeff, Sean, Shawn, and Ryan are all staying at 1up. Their podcast, one of the best that 1up Radio has to offer in my opinion, will continue as well with a new (and most likely somber) episode going up later this week.
Well, they had a good run at least.
