Hi all,

We have just published an editorial titled '*Making Gaming Better*',
which discusses ways to 'fix' PC gaming. If you could post a link on
your site that would be very much appreciated.

*Description:
*Cliff Harris sees a bleak future for the games community. An insular
group that purges n00bs, defends violent media and pirates games
regularly - the end could be at hand! Thankfully, Cliff has a whole list
full of ways to make gaming good again...

*/"Eight: Try to buy direct
Most people know that buying direct from the developer earns the dev a
bigger share than buying from a store, but do you have any idea how much
difference it can be? In some cases it's a tenfold difference! I've
nothing against publishers and retailers, but the whole system collapses
if the guys making the games don't do well. It makes a huge difference
if you can buy direct, and if your favourite developer doesn't sell
direct, email them and let them know you would buy direct if you could.
It takes five minutes."/

*Cheers guys!
