[QUOTE="Khan the Warlord, post: 421912, member: 983"] Sorry for the re-post, but I think my original post in my poll thread got buried in an onslaught of other posts. ----- Well, while I'm glad that an official apology was given to Simon Collins and the rest of EN World, I'm still kinda miffed. 1. How can anyone in the industry confuse EN World for any other site? 2. If this was indeed a hastily-made e-mail intended for another reviews site, so what? The only thing that has changed is that EN World is being placed with the other "favorable" review sites that he mentioned in the original e-mail. Just because he says now that "good reviews for free product" isn't what AP desires, doesn't excuse or explain why he says the complete opposite in the first e-mail. 3. I don't like or agree with the statement he made about how reviews suggesting *not* to purchase a particular AP product are bad. If I were given a free review copy of a product and I honestly thought it rated a "1" (Appalling), then why shouldn't I state in my review that the product isn't worth a gamer's hard-earned cash? Once again, we're seeing a mentality that says "you're ok to say you don't like it, but since it was free, we're limiting HOW you state your feelings about it". If anything, this second e-mail just dug them a bigger hole in my eyes. But what do I know. [/QUOTE]
