Message: <blockquote data-quote="RangerWickett" data-source="post: 3329572" data-attributes="member: 63">I have two pieces of information that might influence this debate:1. The company Russ runs and I help with is E.N. Publishing, not EN World Publishing. I just want people to get our name right if you think we might be immorally profiting from the ENnies.2. The amount of money we make through E.N. Publishing has been very small. Some people think having the awards based at EN World is profiting us, and that makes the awards untrustworthy. But if we're profiting, it's been by, like, a couple hundred bucks. Really, it's nothing worth getting your panties in a twist about.I'd prefer if no one thought me and Russ at E.N. Publishing were sitting in dark rooms rubbing our hands together at the thought of how much money the ENnies will make us. We really, really are just doing this because we like gaming, just like the judges really, really are putting in weeks of their time just to find the best products that came out in the past year, to help raise awareness of quality game design.Honestly, I'm at a loss. What is the real problem here? Rasyr or eyebeams, could you just spell out one collective list of what you think is wrong with the system, and why? (In interest of full disclosure, I do want E.N. Publishing to be successful enough that I can profit from my love of this hobby, and maybe even pad a resume when I try to get a novel published, so I suppose I'm not in it just for the love. But I still fail to see how the connection of EN World, E.N. Publishing, and the ENnies is a problem for the awards.)</blockquote>
