Actually it's more than a financial relationship, Matrix Games bought Wargamer.com awhile ago. We aren't specifically going after Wargamer.com, but we're being fairly transparent that the site is owned by us from the beginning. That way people can use their own judgement to decide if they think our coverage is biased.

Would you think it fair to say then that Wargamer.com is the "mouthpiece" of Matrix games?
|
I wouldn't say that at all. I know many of the folks who are on staff at Wargamer.com (as a former staff member myself) and I think they try to be fair. However we wanted to be pretty up front with our relationship from the beginning.
The main reason for the site is to give independent games more of a voice.

Very nice, but on the site, www.thegamingnews.com/ I think the design ins't really up to snuff with it's competitors. I'm not saying it should be flashy, but it should look a bit stronger. |

Re: Shrapnel to Take on Wargamer.com?
It's a place holder at this point so we can have people contact us who are interested in contributing. It is in no way representative of what the site will actually look like.

Re: Shrapnel to Take on Wargamer.com?
Dont change it too quickly. I majorly like what it says. It really puts out the statement right from the beginning what you guys have in mind.
Do you want "the call to go out to all the corners of the earth"? I can drop some "check this out" into some of the newsgroups it would fit in

Like Mindi said it's just a placeholder, the final site will be much different looks wise.
