Here are the directions to get many different ones:
You can also register at www.magazines.com and wait. They will probably send you a digital gift card for $10 or so in the next few days. They also have $10 and less sales all the time so combine those for a free subscription (make sure you don’t select auto-renew). Repeat when they send you new gift cards.

Tried and loved *Cook’s Illustrated *but they started sending me books and billing me for them. I got tired of sending the things back,
I’ve just let my subscription to *The Atlantic * lapse for the first time in over 30 years.
At the moment, I’ve got a sub to Plane & Pilot that I’ll be letting run out as life circumstances have gotten in the way of flying a bit. At some point I’ll probably subscribe to the print version of Reason, because I don’t care for their electronic. As w/ books, I find electronic magazines (if done well) far preferable to the print version.
You aren’t.
Only magazine I subscribed to for a long time. I don’t have one anymore, but I still buy them in the stores.
I recently just subscribed to Games magazine. My dad used to get it back in the early 90s and I really loved it back then. Since then I used to buy it in stores, but it’s seemed to disappear from every store I’ve gone to these days.
I think you mean it turned into the Games For Windows Official Magazine. PC Gamer was from an entirely different publisher and in competition with CGW/GFW.
Not that CGW wasn’t already a shadow of its former self for years anyway, but man that change pissed me off, even more than if it had just folded (which GFW did after not too long anyway).
The title changed to Games for Windows before it fold but I definitely received PC Gamer as compensation for the balance of my subscription. I knew it was a competitor. I assumed they brokered some kind of deal.
I agree it was a shadow of its former self by the end. As I wrote in the other thread about Magazines, I remember when the issues were hundreds of pages long and had real articles in them.
Used to subscribe to:
Marie Claire
Glamour (I think I must have had one of the longest running subscriptions because I was in high school when I started reading it)
Nat Geo
Time
Bon Appetit
Cooking Light
Taste Of Home
Pastry Arts and Design (industry mag)
American Cake Decorating (industry mag)
Yankee
Boston
a couple of regional literary magazines which have since folded…and probably a few more magazines whose names escape me ATM
I haven’t subscribed to anything in maybe 7-10 years? Marie Claire was the last subscription I had. I let it lapse then started periodically buying it. Then I stopped buying it when the price went up to $4.
And yeah, that’s why I no longer subscribe nor buy magazines anymore: It’s the price. When most of the price pays for more ads than copy, that’s when I say my goodbyes, it was nice to know you, maybe I’ll see you on the digital side.
We just let our four subscriptions lapse: Time, Hobby Farms, Urban Farms and Hobby Farms Home.
In college I subscribed to Playboy because subscriptions were only a buck an issue, and how could a poor college student who wanted to look at pictures of naked girls pass up a deal like that?
Vogue
Reader’s Digest
Psychologies
Harpers Bazaar
I don’t subscribe to any but either one I pick when I’m out shopping then the next month a different one
