it's true. but EGM has been a rotting corpse since they changed the scoring system. but at least thousands of trees will be saved.

Now that's looking on the bright side!

Wait, what was the dark side of this story?

The support staff (not just the...writers) at EGM/1up now have to find new jobs. Seriously, I feel quite bad for them.

And that's about it.
