Next-gen.biz a anunÅ£at ieri decesul revistei americane Games for Windows. După 27 ani de existenţă, revista care a apărut în anul 1981 sub numele Comuputer Gaming World (pe care părinÅ£ii voÅŸtri o cunosc cu siguranţă!), ÅŸi care a devenit în 2006 Games for Windows ÅŸi-a închis porÅ£ile, majoritatea echipei redacÅ£ionale migrînd către site-ul 1Up.
