The once dead EGM is returning, due to magazine founder Steve Harris buying the rights back from Ziff-Davis.

Yes, but will they include classic staff, and start back at the last issue (honoring pre-existing subscribers), or will it just be a reboot of a familiar name with a bunch of new corporate scrubs working there? The reason people loved EGM was because the magazine had integrity. Integrity comes from people -- not a name. I think its better off left dead rather than a segmented husk of the real thing (I mean, com'on, its going to be separated from 1UP.com. What's the damn point?

(Shrugs) I dunno. I stopped reading it regularly about the time Sushi-X left.

Who cares about EGM at this point? The thing that made it awesome were the writers behind it, and now they're all gone. Too little too late.

Just shooting around here, but it's possible that new good writers could be a part of this new project.

Personally I'm kinda surprised that there are still so many print magazines about the industry at all seeing as:

A) the internets and the game industry go hand in hand.

B) There is such a huge push these days to "Go Green"
