    Angry How come Incite Magazine was canned by the Brits?

    I loved Incite PC magazine. It was funny, informative, had great photography, layed out perfectly, well written and HOT BABES. I don't understand why people slammed it for putting in a few pics of chicks. It was by FAR the best gaming mag ever!

    Anyway, I wanted to ask you guys because you have "connections" so you can give me the REAL story about what happened. Because from what I've read the magazine was doing ok considering it was only in the FIRST year of publication. Both magazines(PC & Video) would sell out so I got a subscription. Still havn't seen my money yet! But you know what I don't care about the money. I want to know why the BRITS canned my mag! Please?

    Mainly a lack of sales (much like PCXL) There's way too much competition in the game mag business...

    The key word is 'mainly'. What were the 'other' reasons?

    I agree. I personally loved most of the covers. I probably still have a few lying around the house.

    Anyhow, I thought I heard Incite ran out of money, and therefore closed up shop.

    Its just a rumor, so take it for what its worth... Or you could just blame Alex, no matter if he was there or not!
