Farewell my Friend
It is a sad day indeed. This morning during my usual BBC scrounge I came across an ultimately depressing article (Read It Here). The forever brilliant, stylish and hilarious PC game related magazine that I have been a subscriber of for the last 10 years is closing down. The arrival of a new issue in my post box was the highlight of the month every month. Now, on September 2nd of this year, I will be receiving my last ever copy of this awesome magazine.
The reason for this decision is due to lack of sales, with only 11 000 copies being sold world wide. This fact brings to light the sad truth that the internet is killing other forms of media. 10 years ago when most of the world was on dial-up, downloading a 1 Gb demo was nigh on impossible and we therefore waited with eager anticipation for the next release of our favorite gaming magazine to quench our adrenaline pumping needs. Now-a-days, high speed ADSL is common place with uncapped internet services the standard. It is only logical that this should happen. Cause and effect hey.
Still, it is a sad day. I thank ye PC Zone for keeping me company all these years. Your reviews and scores were always spot on, your criticisms just, and your humour never ending. I bid you a good farewell and I will miss you.
