Death of GFW Magazine

Tuesday, April 8th, 2008

I haven’t (officially) read a page of Games for Windows: The Official Magazine (formerly known as Computer Gaming World), but I do enjoy their other work. The GFW Radio podcast is one of the podcasts I listen to on a weekly basis. The magazine officially closed up shop today.

I knew this coming. I don’t know why, but I had this feeling that the magazine wasn’t going to be around much longer. They say it’s the changing of the times which forced them to close up shop and I would have to agree. Magazines are the thing of the past (especially for PC gaming); they cannot talk about patches or mods in the magazine without feeling outdated by the time it reaches the readers.

On the bright side, Jeff Green and the major players from GFW’s editorial staff will move onto 1UP.com and continue their PC gaming shenanigans there.
