My apology, I search the forum, but nothing came up on the result for the final days of PC Gamer Malaysia magazine.
Do link this thread to the existing ones, thank you.
Even tried to go to their forum, came back with virus warning from Kaspersky.

I remembered the days back with all the community from the forum.
Lots of fun, online and offline.

Oh well.

RIP PCGM, and thanks for everything

===================================

Discussion-wise: game magazines can't survive anymore in Malaysia?

Not when you have the internet. (i.e. their content can be read elsewhere for free, and probably more updated too).
They should have gone e-mag at least, with interactive content etc.

i've used to bought almost every month of their mag before the booms on internuts.

rip for them

Perhaps they go online only, like Max-it do.

Exactly

With the widespread use of the internet, these business needs to evolve

There are so many gaming sites out there that we can access for free. So the question they have to ask themself is how can they offer a service that is as easy to access online, but have more content that people would be willing to pay for.

As Eoma mentioned above, interactive content is a good idea, PC Gaming US is already doing that where they have some video based and interactive "e-mag" available on Steam. They still need to improve I think, but its a start.

If you can go online, why you need Malaysian online version.

i like reading books better, even if I have to pay for it.
feels good mang.....

RIP PC Gamer Malaysia.

Bought the last issue. Stop buying it forawhile.

good mag, been buying on and off though..

i like having a dead tree version sometimes, handy when away from the computer..

you can find tons of skyrim reviews online, for free...

rip to pc gamer malaysia

but maybe re-ignite the forum community?

I love PCGM few year back but recent local news been boring all i read is
dota dota dota tournament, f2p MMO, so I stop buy it.

Anyway, RIP.

RIP PCGM...

even though i've never bought a copy myself, i've borrowed from friends and quite enjoyed it a bit.

so yeah RIP PCGM

RIP. I bought the mag every month. Sad that it now EOL liao, gonna buy the UK version I guess, triple the price ><

Used to love these type of gamer mags until it begins to look and sound more and more like those copy-pasted information instead of localized information or reviews.

*Still like printed mags than e-mags though. Just can't find a good one to read nowadays.

haha...malaysia version always lagging behind. arrow in the knee indeed.

PCG Uk costs more, but let's be frank here, it's like buying original vs pirates. No offence to anyone.

Sad to hear but its quite inevitable. 90% of the content is taken from PCG US and UK. The locally generated content are all very weak and uninteresting. I stopped buying after a year. Gave them a chance but didnt see anything original so no thanks..

whatever happens, i blame TMNut...

The content is indeed 90% copy-pasted but I still love it though, just can't replace the feeling of reading an actual copy of book/mag with anything else so RIP.

Yes they copy paste alot and sometimes u see UK pound sign in there, not converted to RM. Too bad, I used to buy them when I manage to passby a bookstore.

It's fun reading a book than doing it online sometimes. Max-IT was also my favorite but so sad it had to stop.

i used to buy them when i still using 56k dial up connection, then streamyx shoot an arrow to my knee...
thanks for the info, i'll go and get this final issue from nearby book store.

RIP Such a pity. Last Issue on Skyrim too.... PC Gamer used to give us the most updates, until Internut shoots an arrow on its knee.

PC Gamer got "Fus Ro Dah-ed"

And they took an arrow on their knee. LOL

PCGM. So nostalgic.

RIP, it was good until crap MMO spam.

Well, i guess i'll try to order PC Powerplay from Australia then. It's still far better than PCGUS.

Seriously? No More PCGM?

I was at popular bookstore and holding gameaxis on my right hand and pcgamer on the left
was thinking which to buy... then i chose gameaxis

I did see the Final Issue stamp, but I thought it meant the final issue of the year
so i was hopping for a Jan 2012 issue... dang.. have to find it later after work

(hopefully not some kind of troll/ pub stunt where a few months later, resurrection!!!)

maybe they doing update? new year...new magazine..

Bottom line is..

.. if the editors are reading the replies from this thread and from Kopitiam..

.. 99% is because of the copy-paste contents & uninteresting local write-ups.

Could've invested in good local writers and it will be fine.

Gaji tinggi sikit, tarak apa maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

This, killed my interest to buy..too ..last time it used to be "epic"..but with those local mmo things..kinda

Write? felt the editors didn't even wrote anything almost the whole mag was filled with totally unrelated ads, coffee-pasta from foreign UK and US PC gamer and crappy event announcements like local Dota with barely any descriptions.

i stop buying PCG when they start emphasising on Dota, some asian mmorpg and boring online games..
anyway, thanks and RIP PCG..

I stop buying PCG when I see Copy Pasta and whole lots of MMO craps.

For being a editor and their company, should be able to afford a single or 2 gaming rig to always test on new game.

This way their mag will only filled with more genuine reviews than copy pasta info here and there.

the editor need to hire ppls from dis forum..yeah!!

Very much this. What for I am buying a copy pasta version which filled with free grindcore MMOs. I don't care if their own review is too long or too short, they should write their own genuine reviews.

Since 2010-2011, when internet getting ridiculously fast, the PCGM magazine seems to lag like 1-2 months. November issue don't even have September game review since they only copy paste from UK/US version.

Gameaxis was my choice of gaming mag eventhough they focused a lot on console.

I know. What the heck, if I wanted to grind MMO, I've done so. Not by reading it in a PC Gamer magazine. PC games =/= MMO. Especially not Korean Grindfest MMO. Why no coverage of indie games?

i have this issue, when i read final issue i thought final issue for 2011. well, i subscribed to pc gamer US thru kindle and tablet app already. PCGM copied paste from them btw.

its cheap 1.99 usd per month.

really?? wow, it does take back to time when i dont know what to google for gaming review, tips or etc..

dont have any copy left because i sell it

Degrading magazine with degraded writers with degraded marketing with degraded expectations.

AKA, Copy_Paste Warriors.

Pretty much sums up the reasons why I've stopped buying their mags.

RIP PCGM. Loyal patron from 2007 to 2009.

i found no reason to buy any tech/gaming magazine IF they are reporting on news, or local events, i can read them online and not after 1 month of the event/news happened.

EXCEPT, they provide really extensive and valuable research result or alternative view to one event/matters, else no point of reading

For me I stopped buying PCGM when i realized most of my favorite reviewers were on Rock Paper Shotgun and I can read there free. Too bad Tom Francis is not there and Kieron Gillen left.

....actually maybe I would've stopped buying after I seeing my shelf full of old PCGM anyway.

Lol people still buying malaysia PC gamer? Even PC gamer US publisher going fully digital.

Too bad. I bet gaming fans these days rather watch the gameplay itself on IGN, Youtube or whatever for a better picture of the game instead of reading.

Was an avid reader of PCG back then.

same here...used to buy the magazine every month in few year back....too bad that Malaysia version get really late update....and TONS of MMO game....bored me...

RIP PC Gamer Malaysia Magazine. Bought the last mag. Thx PC Gamer.

sometimes borrowed from a friend (or two) and it's somehow good to read it as a book even though it's easy to find it on the net

I just got the last copy too, and its pretty surprising that the MMO junk are all gone. The reviews are disappointing though as they only publish the review for Space Marine in December. Really?

Honestly everytime I purchase a copy of PCG Malaysia I don't know what the people in the company does other than copy pasting the content and add some of those local MMO introductions (which IMO only includes bare minimum information which can be read from the game box).

I don't want to compare but GameAxis does so so much more. Every article, preview, review is written by a local writer. You get to read some more personal views on games and the way its written feels Malaysian. The effort put in producing both the magazines really differ I feel.

GameAxis usually release pretty late, understandable seeing how they need to compile everyone's content. PCG Malaysia? Probably only need tp arrange, proof read, spellcheck the last 10-20 pages of the magazine.

Sorry, I used to support PCG Malaysia alot when it just released but it just went downhill from there.

f2p mmos junk killed it for me, Used to eagerly wait for monthly issue on the next best game. Then its just silkroad, yada yada, dota crap.

Too bad they didn't adapt. RIP.

haha i remember i used 2 buy PCGM way back in 04-05...06 onwards i stopped buying bcoz of over reporting the crappy chinese MMOs which i never intend 2 play at all...RIP PCGM

Is there no Pure Games Mag/site right now? The gamers here are a plenty, they need their fix of twitch schedules of esports, listings and ranks of players, especially malaysian players as well as casters. Then we have tips from malaysian gamer pros or any other. What about convention promotions, organizing purely gaming and VR conventions, separate reviews as well as reader submissions/uploads that are from malaysia...I could keep going but I see none and I'm thinking big business for investing right about now

Internet kills the magazine.
