The troubles at technology media company Ziff Davis are apparently still continuing. This week it was revealed that the company is shutting down its popular ExtremeTech.com web site. The PC hardware site had quite a bit of PC gaming coverage and had a solid list of writer-editors including Loyd Case, Jason Cross, Joel Durham, and others. According to a message post by Case at QuartertoThree.com all of those writers will soon be out of work as of June 26 as Ziff Davis will turn the site into a blog under their PCMag.com site. We know that the talented crew behind the site will land on its feet.

This is just the latest in the many cost-cutting efforts by the struggling Ziff Davis who sold off its 1Up.com gaming web network to UGO and sold off the FileFront.com site to its original creators. It also shut down its Electronic Gaming Monthly print magazine but its original owner recently announced plans to revive EGM in some capacity.
