Also alot of these gamer mags and sites are affiliated with only certain software
makers.Like on those demo discs you can get with thier Mags.Some have signed
exclusive rights to get thier demo's first and only and it appears that it's also
affected
thier "industry-wide" awards.I wonder what would happen if say only a certain part
of thier demographics stopped buying thier magazine.Probably why so many of them go
under or are about to go under.
