Ziff Davis, which publishes a number of widely known computer magazines including PC Magazine and eWeek has announced that in association with Microsoft it is rebranding its Computer Gaming World (CGW) magazine into Games for Windows: The Official Magazine. The magazine will have a companion website that will be promoted and linked to by Microsoft.
While Editor in chief Jeff Green states that Microsoft will not have any editorial control over the new magazine, there is no word on how this will affect CGW’s recent move to include more investigative reports. Will we continue to read about the red-light districts in Second Life or World Of Warcraft?
Meanwhile all of Ziff Davis may be up for sale.
