Yea ca ca doodie or having a loose yellow explosive Diahrea after a seafood Buffet. Does anyone here really PREFER reading EGM on the computer?

Setzer 02-09-05 10:39 PM

Well, I guess this explains why I haven't received my issues of EGM and CGW the last few months. Wonder what the deal is?

Well, figured it out.....I will ge the MAY issue. I was on hold also. Now good till June 07 only....oh well.

Wompratz 02-10-05 02:06 PM

Yep, I also noticed my Computer Gaming World ALSO stopped around the beginning of the year as well! But I was never a big fan anyway, but I want my EGM back :(

So my next issue will be the may issue. It hasnt been the same taking a Pooper without a EGM in hand. Anyone else ONLY read doing the pooper or is it just me?


hmmm I wonder with gmr going under the ebgames subscription switched it to egm and screwed us up????

fleegs 02-10-05 05:25 PM

Thanks for the heads up. I get so many free mags, I didn't even notice. I got mine taken off hold and I'm supposed to receive the April Issue.

jiggawhat 02-10-05 05:37 PM

No one ever mentioned anything about publications unlimited when I called.

www.zdmcirc.com is ziff-davis subscription center website, that's where i got the numbers for EGM.

When I asked about the back issues they said that they didn't have any to give me.

Homer Simpson 02-10-05 07:43 PM

Mine was held as well, called and they released it

Wompratz 02-10-05 08:38 PM

I called AGAIN, the 3rd time....They once again claim they see no reason whatsoever I shouldn't be receiving my EGM. Nothing about it being halted or anything. She told me on the last call she'd forward it to the main office to be looked into.

Sucks...First XBN (The best of these mags IMO) is canned and now this :(

RVP 02-11-05 08:36 PM

Mine got stopped also. I just went to this page Ziff Davis Customer Support and logged in and said I had not gotten the Jan Issue. The next day they emailed me and siad my service would be restarted, and I would be credited for the missed issues.

mr.snowmizer 02-11-05 09:37 PM

Does anybody know if the EGM January issue (#187) was a regular issue?

Seems like a silly question, but past issues were entitled on the binders as October, November, and then Holiday. Since the next one was January, it reads as though there was an extra issue published. And I've seen a picture of the cover online, and it blares at the top, "SPECIAL ISSUE: 2005 VIDEOGAME PREVIEW FEATURE".

If it's something besides a normal monthly EGM, I'm not going to bother trying to track it down. But, owning a copy of every EGM since #1, I'd hate to have a gap because of some weird promotion-gone-wrong glitch by Ziff Davis.

nickdawgy 02-12-05 03:54 AM

I just got the lastest issue a couple days ago. I haven't noticed any delays.

Shimmer35 02-12-05 09:30 AM

Thanks for posting this. My subscription was also placed on "hold" and the customer service rep "didn't know why but will take care of it". Whatever, at least they extended my sub by a couple of months after I bitched a little :)

Exact same thing happened here. EGM is the only game mag worth anything, IMO, so I'm glad to be getting it for free.

WepaMan 02-16-05 03:38 PM

I noticed I didn't get EGM anymore a few months ago put paid it no mind since it was a free sub. This thread had me call up and find out what's going on. Like other people, it was placed on hold and they advised me to contact "Publishers Unlimited" to get it resolved. I told her that I would call them afterwards and if she could just put my account back on active. She went ahead and did that and offered to mail out the 2 issues I've missed as well. She then reminded me to call "Publishers Unlimited" at the end of the call, even though there was no point to it.

My guess is that they know what's going on and want to get out of the free subs. But those of us who call they can't deny since i'm sure legally they can't deny the sub. That's just my guess, I could be wrong but thanks again for posting this.

How did that go?

Shit, you know what. I haven't gotten one in quite a while either.

fujishig 02-17-05 03:34 PM

When this surfaced a few months ago, and I didn't get anything past my January issue, I got a little concerned. But then I checked the mailing labels, and it turns out that Jan 05 was supposed to be my last issue anyway. I paid the 20 bucks to renew it, which is a far cry from free, but I enjoy reading it enough, even if it's not as up to date as websites can be.

Ditto. The CSR said the Post Office put a hold on my subscription, which she said usually happens if the mailman can't fit the magazine in your mailbox. I know that's not the case because I get so many magazines without ever having any problems, plus whatever can't fit into the mailbox is left with my doorman. If the a CSR won't take care of the problem, I would just keep calling back until you get one who will.

badlieut 03-02-05 11:04 AM

Finally called...they had a hold on mine as well.

DJ_Longfellow 03-02-05 11:14 AM

Hopefully I get my next issue....since it was on old. I guess the new issues are showing up now

kar10 03-02-05 04:07 PM

I wrote them and they said that it will be back in circulation but I haven't receive anything yet and that was last month. :(

ClarkKentKY 03-02-05 06:06 PM

After getting antsy yesterday (reading about the April fool's joke) It finally showed up today. Good to have it back. It was depressing only getting gamepro the last few months.
