Looks like Playboy will be going the way of the cassette tape, come the March 2016 issue. It's been a long time since I opened a Playboy magazine (14 I think, but those were my father's magazines....we won't talk about that.) However, I personally plan on purchasing and preserving a February 2016 issue, simply for the fact that I can imagine it becoming a collectors item in the future.

They announced that they have come to terms with the fact that there is so much free porn on the internet, that they don't even want to bother with naked women anymore. Instead, they want to try and pick up interest via sexy pictures of women who aren't toally naked, and other content in the magazine. I have to agree haha, that's what the magazine has been for 62 years, kinda weird to change it now.

Playboy done a complete rebranding which has allowed the company to grow.
Amazing they started doing this on website found the traffic increased by a stupid amount and companies wanted to talk to them.
Average age from 41 to 30 with profits increasing.
Just happy that Playboy going to stay around won't die should be worth quite a bit due to limited numbers printed.
