PC Gamer Malaysia Final Issue - Magazine Discontinued


Those of you who have bought and read December 2011 issue, would have already known this. This is new to me. I just saw a big fat round graphic printed on the front cover stating 'FINAL ISSUE'. Editor Simon Tan states that while the magazine has been running for 8 years, they are finding it not profitable any longer as game distributors are advertising less and the PC Desktop market is quite stagnant right now. 8 freakin' years! This has got to be one of the longest Malaysian gaming mag. Maybe the content was not that exciting what with them writing guides for free to play MMO's and then to mobile game reviews(the centre spread). And Velocity Media had certainly been cutting down operations of PCGMY over the years. Started out with gusto but ended in a whimper. They even had an online site which was long abandoned. A moment of silence please.............. Now that PC Gamer Malaysia is no more, I'll have to buy PC Gamer UK or US which costs a lot more and not all bookstores carry them :s
