Ubisoft Launches Gaming Magazine to Replace Journalism

In light of the recent blurb from Electronic Gaming Monthly, Ubisoft has made the decision to fight back. Why pay off the real journalists when you can just create your own media source?

“Everyone knows gaming companies bribe news sources with information in exchange for a…more favorable viewpoint, ” said an Ubisoft PR Representative, “in this case we’ll just be cutting out the middleman.”

The print magazine will feature only games developed by Ubisoft, plus anybody with $5000 and a game to sell. For those of you anxiously awaiting updates on the next console version of America’s Army, a chilling eighteenth conclusion to the Myst series, or a sequel to the very successful XIII, you are going to have to break down and subscribe.

When EGM was asked to respond to the situation via e-mail, their only reply was “F**k those Frenchies. Let’s play some COD4.”
