I loved EGM growing up, and it pains me to say this, but it needed to be shut down. Never mind the fact that it is a hollow husk of what used to be; even if it were still the same awesome magazine, it would need to be shut down. The Internet has made monthly publications in tech-related fields obsolete. There's no way to get around it. There is no way that publishers can compete with free, daily-updated information on a medium that its target audience is going to spend most of the day searching by offering monthly-updated information, even if they stopped charging subscription fees. Especially when you factor in how much easier it is to advertise on the web as opposed to paper, everything works in the Internet's favor in tech-related fields.
