I am surprised. There are still a lot of profitable print magazines, although the market is indeed tougher than ever before . Playboy should at the very least be able to make their money back on printing magazines even in this day and age, especially if they cut back on the wasted issues. Let's face it- for Playboy to fold the print mag is a huge blow to their image in the general public that still reads it and the potential Playmates which may not look at it with such respect like models used to for a few generations now. Playboy should have continued it even if they cut the print run down. I think that this is a foolish move on their part.
