I'd guess that something like 65% of our game industry ads, including and especially ones from names a lot of you would recognize as "healthy" companies in the industry, never paid a cent for their ads because they went out of business, because they "lost" the insertion orders, or whatever. A good half of our ad guy's time was tracking down tiny companies and sending them to collections, which was a giant waste of time.

You know, while most of the other reasons seem like enough on their own, I've heard this one thrown around a lot, and I really don't get it. Over the last four or five years, Dragon and Dungeon were consistently the cheapest magazines I purchased, by far. On average, any magazine I purchased from a newstand/bookstore has a cover price, near as I can figure, of around $12. I read a few bi-monthly ones who break $20. And, yes, they're still magazines. As another example, my fiance has been picking up wedding magazines here and there lately, and hers are in the same range.Umbran said:If you cannot manage the volume, the thing has to sell at a higher price, and folks won't buy a magazine at a high price.
