Times like these are unforgiving. With the economy in the state it’s in now, gamers have seen some top-dog companies brought to their knees.
Last night, something few saw coming, happened. Gamers learned that a site they’ve trusted for all kinds of services since 1999, FileFront.com, is closing. This isn’t just a “Closed until further notice” or “Renovation” sign posted on the front door, it’s a permanant farewell.
Ziff Davis is a Chicago-based media company. According to MCVUK, in 2008 Ziff Davis filed for Chapter 11. In January, Electronic Gaming Monthly magazine announced its last issue.
Today, the veil was lifted.
The following Magazines and Websites are now permanantely discontinued:

It’s always a sad day to see a website or magazine we know so well get discontinued, but the number of projects shut down here is downright concerning.
