The magazine industry is a tough game now. Readership numbers keep dropping as people read stuff online instead, so they lose revenue there. Companies are less interested in advertising in the magazine, as the readership is lower, so they lose yet more revenue there. The mag then has a lower editorial budget, so the things like thrashes become nonviable and they lose even more readers. It's a viscous cycle.

It's a shame. People seem to want snippets and easy to digest chunks of video content these days. Not much value in the written word anymore.
