However, I also want to point out that they do represent at least a portion of that larger community. I mean, after all, most of us started out as gamers years before the internet was anything but a specialized communications devce for universities and research facilities. So we're not necessarily unrepresentative of gamers as a whole.Look, I get the whole "it's not a magazine" thing. I really do. I want to like GF. Seriously. Like I said above, I almost bought it. It simply was too expensive for me at the cover price. I understand that it may be a great value and so on and so forth, but the simple fact is, as a consumer, it did not seem compelling enough to me to buy at that price. That is not a knock on the product or those who make it. It's just simple economics. I thought about what my money could buy, and it seemed better spent elsewhere. As KS says above, $12 would be about the price I'd be willing to pay. Again, I know it's technically not a magazine. Well, it is to me, but that's not a bad thing. I subscribed to Scenario magazine, a quarterly mag that contains several screenplays each issue, and it's $20 - the value to me was equal to the price. Anyway, Campaign is/was a good example of what I was looking for, and which doesn't seem very different to what GF is trying to do. So Campaign is a magazine, and GF isn't; maybe it should be. I buy magazines of all types, so I am completely aware that ads are a huge portion of them. I still would rather have a monthly game supplement at $6 than a quarterly at $18-20.</blockquote>
