Ziff Davis Media is going under, and are selling off their assets to the highest bidders. Possible buyers of their gaming media section include MTV, which we all know is a bad thing.

Regardless of what many say, EGM has consistently been relatively unbiased in their presentation, blunt as hell in interviews, and have a habit of getting straight to the point when tackling topics. Read GamePro if you want to see some true unintelligible sh*t on paper.

Its possible that the entire staff could be laid off, or the format/guidelines the magazines/website follow going down the tubes in favor of something new at the whim of the new owner. It is fully possible the entire publication could go down completely. Whatever happens, the result cannot be good in the end. The death of EGM as we know it would mean the loss of a long standing and credible source of gaming news.

What's your opinions?
