A Moment of Silence for GFW(CGW) Magazine

[Superflat]

As you may or may not know, Games for Windows Magazine (formerly Computer Gaming World) will no longer be published. The main editors of the magazine will join the online team at 1up.com, providing PC coverage for the site. They will also continue to do the weekly GFW Radio podcast.

Official News Story

GFW/CGW was my favorite source of gaming news, and their podcast is easily my favorite podcast (followed closely by 1up Yours and DiggNation). I've been a subscriber to the magazine for around five years and found their articles to not only be well written, but genuinely enjoyable to read. Among the whole 1up Network, the GFW editors have been my favorite to read and listen to. I am truly saddened to see the magazine go, especially since it's been in print for 27 years.

Note: I apologize for the poor writing of this post. I'm in a bad funk (because of other recent events in my life that have nothing to do with GFW going out of print) and it's effecting my ability to write well.

I got a GFW T-Shirt at E3 awhile back. I still wear it proudly. :)

Hm... I still have like five issues left on my subscription.

Hmm. Not a huge loss for me personally but I'm pretty sure I have a few '98-'99 CGW mags in my old-gaming-mags collection. I've seen GFW magazines in stores but never realized it was a continuation of CGW.

Oh well.

Yeah, I have a bunch left. I find myself annoyed.

I listened to their latest podcast today. Jeff Green seemed especially pissed off to see something he'd worked on for so long end like it did. It's nice to hear they're staying on 1up though, and I'll happily still listen to their podcast and read their articles online.
