Well, having recieved my subscription copy and browsing through, I got quiet a surprise..
4 Pages devoted to EvE-Online - but more importantly was the content of the article 
Thats the right the largest infiltration and heist in EVEs history has been unveiled in all it's glory (or not so glory depending on which side of the fence you sit). It does go into quiet some in-depth reasoning behind it etc etc. Be you on the side of Ubiiqua Seraph, or the GHSC, you should get a copy if you can and read away.
IMO - a good read into the way it happened, and more importantly it may generate yet more subscribers to EVE lookign for that criminal edge 
Thoughts on the merits of this type of publishing, will it entice more players, or keep them away?
No flames please we've seen and heard the arguements over the Heist many times over.

I was told that Istvaan Shogaatsu himself wrote the article. At least some of it.

You know Dark I'm not sure on that one, theres quotes from posts, and quoets from other players in-game, but not sure on big swathes of it being written by him.
Perhaps he'd like to comment, if he did write a lot of it, is he aiming to bring more criminal types to the game

He actually told me that he was involved in the process, so I wouldn't be surprised.

From the looks of it he was sort of interviewed by PCG.
Pretty cool read, its nice to see PCG finally doing something on EVE instead of damn WoW.

Ahh but it's still good considering it was 77th last year and the only reason WoW is soo high up is those that play WoW dont know any better

Thats a review from PCGamer US, not the UK one, originally upon first release EVE was given 88% by PCG UK, and then a further upward trend to 90% on the release of Exodus.
Just goes to show how differing people canhave such a massive difference of opinion.

Interesting to note that earth and beyond got 80% and we all know which is still running, thankfully people didnt base their game desission on one review.
Never liked PC Gamer as a mag anyway
WTF??? I have the originall review in paper: 90% "Game of distiction"
Only Vice City beat it for game of the month.
Edit: Oh FFS thats a PCG US review... PCG UK is the best game mag in the world.. PCG US sucks.

Now, since I don't really want to buy swedish PCG just to find out the articles are in the next issue or something, I'm hoping for an online edition just to see what kind of light PCG casts on my precious little EVE.

Om my god! That must be one of the least indepth reviews I've ever read from PCG!
Actually makes me glad I stopped subscribing. Such a sad choice of reviewer. I don't know how to make a good enough analogy for it, but Matthew is clearly a Blizzard fan where everything is handed to you: do this get that.
Bah, I'm contemplating sending one of those weird mails every newspaper gets now and then by someone who found a year old copy and didn't read the date properly. A short line'd be: I started as producer, became a miner, moved on to become a soldier, became a foreign minister as a side-job, quit both my jobs and am now a mercenary.
Bah! EVE's just so brilliant that it takes some brain activity (contrary to what Matthew described it as) to get anywhere. Choices truely are limitless, and the devs truely ARE listening. (Can't say THAT about cuddly-fluffy-WOW, can you?)

having not seen it yet;
I think its more or less a first that an entire article is based on an ingame event - and not just a look at the game or a game mechanic. And thats brilliant.
It says something about a game that can get that kind of journalistic approach to the events taking place IN the game (forgetting the whole GTA:SA spectacle :-).
One reason could be that the writers know that everyone playing the game, do so in the same world as the event, corps and characters they are treating. Not on some US/EU server sibling with a silly name.
Making the event a universal object of interest within that player group.
And I think something like that can only be good for the interest for the game.
But my thought is: Cool.
Still: I haven't read it, the last paragraph should be read with serious disclaimers.

I think this sort of article is negative advertising for EO in the US of A.
Think about it.
We got Hillary Clinton up in arms over petty schit like the **** hack in Grand Theft Auto, our values as a nation are so puritanical and self-righteous, how do you think having a bunch of "terrorists infiltrating a group of God-fearing Amarrians" goes over to the mainstream.
I can almost hear a collective "But that's not fair!" cry going up everywhere.
Of course, there are plenty of sick twisted people like me that root for the bad guy, that understand that our comfortable way of life is a PRIVILEGE, that ultimately might makes right.
But maybe not having the mainstream audience is part of what gives the game its flavor.
My concern about the game is mainly technical. I honestly feel like the servers are straining, and that the 12,000+ people we have online now are stretching them to the breaking point.
Are we gonna be able to have big fights in the future? Ppl are quitting over crashing/lag in big battles.
Is the QA process ever gonna improve to the point where theres fewer bugs with each patch?
Are we ever gonna have a nice streamlined Insta-BM system that does not require organizing 500000 bookmarks? I mean they're necessary to have, yet at the same time they're such a pain in the ass to create and use, it's a major downer.

Think it's all okay as long as there's no patch that shows how exactly the drinking of Synthetic Coffee goes... >>;

She'll find some way to spin it negatively, mark my words.
In other news, has The Ego(TM) crushed any small children yet, Isty? I hope so.
