    EGM ceased publishing as of last month. In the old days, if a magazine stopped publishing and you still had time left on your subscription, they would give you an alternate, but similar magazine for the duration of your subscription. Nowadays in this economy, I suspect we are all just out the money.

    Default that sux

    ziff davis, i would think, should have enough money to where he shouldn't screw us over. i remember when opm stopped production. they gave me more egm, as i was already subscribed. they gave me that on top of my existing subscription and i imagin i have a lot of time left. If i get screwed over. i think i'll stear clear of ziff davis mags all together.

    egm was owned by ziff davis? If thats the case i would definitely expect a replacement or a refund they are a fairly large magazine publisher. in the case that the parent company went under i wouldnt really expect anything.
    For lucky best wash, use Mr. Sparkle.

    Not true. All one needs to do is call the magazine and politely ask for a refund of all unmailed issues. Thats what I did and I got my refund check within two weeks.

    Legally, don't they have to fulfill their end of the contract (subscription)? If they break it, they have to buy you out (pay you remaining months).

    White Knight, seriously, can you please make the image in your sig smaller? Why you're advertising a classic gaming forum on a classic gaming forum is a little weird anyway...

    I have made clear Zap! is not a rival board, it is its own uniquie classic board. I am a huge fan of DP, post here every day, and have links to DP on my board. I post more here than on my own, and am also a customer in the DP store.

    Now that I actually look, I only ever had three issues of EGM. The first one about Final Fantasy 7 (with Cloud looking over Midgar on the cover), one with a huge article about Pokemon shortly after the release of GSC and the 100th issue.

    Although, I did buy the sellers guides every year.

    If you ever see any old issues lying around, grab them. Those were the best years.
