Default Just so you know...

This was posted by Cpt. Patrick Proctor on the BCT and ATF Forums. He said it better than I could:

Gentlemen,

The following is a public service warning to grognards everywhere. Please distribute as widely as possible.

You may have heard the announcement, from Mario Kroll, that he sold Wargamer.com to MilitaryGamerOnline.com.

What you might not have heard is that he sold Wargamer.com to David Heath. True, David Heath IS the owner of MilitaryGamerOnline.com.

However, David Heath is the SAME David Heath of Matrix Games.

Which means that Wargamer.com and MilitaryGamerOnline.com are BOTH mouthpieces for Matrix Game.

I just thought that it was everybody's right to know before they spent their hard-earned wargaming dollar based on reviews they read at either site.

We should make them do the "Time Warner, also the parent company of CNN" blurb like they do on TV.

Not disputing the facts but, as a writer for both MGO and Wargamer, I can assure you that Mr. Heath is not all involved in running the sites and has never, ever put pressure on any writer. If people want to look, I use my column to boost smaller companies like Shrapnel.

In this day and age it's a good thing to know that some ethical lines aren't being crossed. It just amazes me how some gaming companies don't get the freedom of speech thing !
