Since when was it being "your problem" the topic of conversation? It's a problem for the companies, hence why I brought up the article to begin with. The point is, it's hard to initially get INTO the web scene of your interests. Sure it's all interlinked, but look at all those gaming bookmarks you have. That was a slow build up, wasn't it? It took a lot of looking around to get those sites, and really, how did you ever GET those links to begin with? I'll tell you this, I didn't even know IGN, gaming message boards, or any of that stuff existed until I found a stray link on Nintendo.com. I mean, how do you really break into these subcultures? If you get lucky, you find a good link during a web search and it goes from there. Don't assume "everyone knows" about these sites. The fact that game guides still sell so well in the age of GameFAQs should say that. But, more to the point, these companies need to get the information out, and for a lot of people, the majority in fact, they just aren't going to come across a good review in our little net subculture, and it is a SUB culture.
Enough of this! Time to commune with the purity of nature!
I see the beauty of it all! The trees and the wind and the colors of the... something.
Rabbits: Yeah, until the wolves show up. Any way we could come inside?
DJ: You're right! Let's just assimilate the lot of it!

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
