Just curious.....has anyone subscription RESUMED yet since it was put on freeze? I called a month or two ago, and they said they would ship the next issue out....Not sure if it was the April or May issue though

Just curious if anyone has received theirs lately.

I remember getting an issue on Nov. 8th, the same day Halo 2 was to be released at midnight (Nov. 9th). That was the Dec. issue with Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater on the cover. I failed to receive the next 2 issues and I e-mailed them about it and they resumed my subscription with the GodFather issue and I've since received the Jade Empire and, just this week, the Phantasy Star Universe issues. My label currently states my sub is good thru May '06.

For about six weeks, I thought the person I talked to said the first resumed issue would be April's. It turned out she must have said "May" because that's what finally showed up around Tuesday.

My first resumed Computer Gaming World showed up today. And once again Tom beat Bruce... I hope I didn't miss a rare Bruce win in the interim.

I forgot to resume Computer Gaming World.

This still amazes me. How can they just drop a bunch of subscriptions? I'd love to know how many people were affected by this and what the advertisers think about it.

My sub. is courtesy of GameFLY.com. I was a member beginning the last couple of weeks of March 2004 (FREE 10-day Trial) and I paid for only 1 month (April 2004) before cancelling. I figured my subscription would be for only 1 year but now it runs to 2006.

Mine were freebies too so that's probably it.

Still, the advertisers pay based on how many people see their ads. They probably wouldn't be happy even if it was just free subs that were neglected.

I guess I can't complain since I didn't pay for it though.

Thanks for starting this thread. I just assumed my subscription was over but I sent them an e-mail (through 1up.com) and they got back to me in two days saying I was suspended and they would be restarting my membership. My subscription is good until 2010! WHOO!

I swear after discovering this free mag stuff, I can not bring myself to buy them anymore. That 5 bucks seems like such a waste now. For those who subscribe (free of course) you may want to shoot computer gaming world a letter as well as they're through the same company.

Now that you guys are mentioning it, I haven't received any either. This also happened to my PC Mag recently as well. I had forgotten what other magazines stopped coming in.

I noticed this thread and kept meaning to check on mine but kept forgetting to. I haven't gotten an issue since the holiday issue #186. They said that there was a hold put on my account for an unknown reason. The girl was very nice and said that they would extend my sub for 3 more issues so it doesn't expire til December 2006 ( gotta love those free subs!).

They said I won't get a new issue until the August issue coming out at the end of June or first of July.

Thanks for posting this.

I finally received the June issue today. I think a thread about it was started more than a week ago. I guess after being forgotten by EGM for a few months I'm a little paranoid.
