What would be a nice addition to reviews, particularly when the developers of games are in studios is hitting them up with some of the criticisms of their products and games. For years we heard not a bad word about GW. The reality they were absolute bastards to their customers and yet every product review only ever reflected the ‘excitement’. Sure they have changed, but that isn’t because it was reflected in product reviews. Did you ever mention prices? Ask GF9 why FOW, or the creators of Hordes and Warmachine why their games have lost popularity with their new editions. Clearly something is wrong with these systems, but again all that is reported is ‘the excitement’. Ask the uncomfortable questions occasionally. You’ll ultimately be better journalists (which is in essence what you are) and better friends to the industry for it.
