San Francisco has the most expensive real estate in the country and I can't imagine that operating expenses would be cheaper than operating out of Chicago.
Flynn said:Yeah, Destructoid has it's heart in the right place -- trying to be a Defamer for games -- but few of their bloggers are up to the task.
I don't think so but maybe the name/format will change...ant1532 said:So would this mean that EGM and 1UP would be no more?
ezekial45 said:San Francisco is one of the most high-tech cities in the country. Not to mention it's apart of the Silicon Valley. So a lot of media outlets focusing on Tech is located in the Bay Area(SF to San Jose) .
Did they move to San Francisco during the ".com" boom?
bill0527 said:While this is true, its also one of the most expensive places to try and run a business, especially a business that's on the decline such as magazine publishing.
True, but keep in mind that Sendai was simply the company created by EGM's founder, Steve Harris. Ed Semrad had no ownership in EGM.Stinkles said:Sendai?
The Bay area had the largest concentration of video game companies back then. Now there's a much larger number of companies in southern California.bill0527 said:Can someone shed some insight as to why EGM moved from Chicago to San Francisco a while back?

I can't imagine trying to operate a video game media outlet out of Chicago rather than San Francisco. There's just too much industry press-related stuff that happens in this city. Believe me I'd probably be living elsewhere (even elsewhere in the Bay Area) but my job basically requires I be here.bill0527 said:Can someone shed some insight as to why EGM moved from Chicago to San Francisco a while back?

Diablos said:The Internet is slowly but surely killing off magazines. Especially gaming ones. Why wait for the latest issue of EGM when you can just browse a gaming forum?
Segata Sanshiro said:Well, there are a lot of reasons to go with a print magazine.
- Exclusive content
- Attractive and easy to read formatting
- pottybility
- Easy to flip through a large source of information
- The space limit also ensures more concise writing, often leading to higher quality writing that gets to the point
- Reading a mag isn't as hard on the eyes as reading off a screen
- No pop-up or pop-under noisy animated ads
- When I turn the page, it works every time. Not so every time I click a link!
Probably more I could think of with time, but the point remains. Magazines and websites complement each other, like EGM and 1up do. I wouldn't want to see mags go anywhere.

Rlan said:Why are people not realising that the initial post is just complete bullshit? They went from "Ziff Davis is trying to make 1up and EGM look great so they can sell it and make some cash off it" to "1up is a sinking ship! Dive Dive Dive!"
What sort of idiot organisation would buy a company just to kill it? God, it's no different to the IGN buy a year or so ago. NOTHING will change.

QFT, though I don't have a subscription; I go to the store and buy it.If it wasn't for the excellent witty banter of Jeremy Parish and those other veterans I'd have long cancelled my subscription.
