Pat on the Back

Dear Future Gamer

Alexander Möller wrote and complained about consoles getting too much attention in Future Gamer. I just wanted to say that I do not think so. Also, splitting Future Gamer up into two versions would be terrible. The now-mixed mag is perfect for getting an overall view of the week's games industry, and we are in it for the games, aren't we? Even if you don't own a Dreamcast or even a Game Boy Color, there might be a review that helps change your mind and persuades you to get one.

If you don't own a system then you certainly won't buy a specialised magazine for it, and that's why Future Gamer is so valuable. The splendid staff filter out a lot of noise that's included in many of the specialised publications just to increase page numbers. With Future Gamer we just get the best and most relevant gaming bits. Keep it that way, I love it, every week!

FG: Thanks for that John, it's nice to have a pat on the back once in a while. One of the joys for us working on Future Gamer is that we don't have the restrictions a print magazine has - if we want to add another page because a big news story has just broken, we can. Believe me, that saves a heck of a lot of logistical nightmares!
