Since almost all of us on internet think EGM has serious problems and
no one takes it seriously, someone i know on a BBS came up with this idea.
Just to get their attention and make our opinions known, everyone on
internet or any other BBS who gets this letter will send the same form letter
to the editors. If they get a few hundred of them, they wouldnt be able to
ignore them. They would have to respond.
This isn't an ego trip for me or anyone else (since i'm just spreading
the word to internet from the source person). The goal is to show them how
they are now being regarded and possibly change their minds on a few ways they
do things.
Please help us do this. Just mail the attached letter to EGM at

If you have no problem with EGM or dont want to participate, please ignore
and please dont flame anyone.
Editor:
Like many other video game players, I have lost all faith and interest
in your magazine over the past year or two. I feel this way for several
reasons:
1. Your articles seem to be written for the very young game player, who has
little or no knowledge of the games or the industry.
2. You consistantly print rumors that are totally wrong.
3. You lack informative technical information or interviews for the reader
who wants to learn more about hardware or the gaming industry.
4. Your honesty is becoming questionable. Many people have found that hints
they have sent into your magazine were printed, but other peoples' names were
given as the source. Of course, it is probable that they also sent in the
codes, but many people have sent in codes as many as 3 months before they
(32 min left), (H)elp, More? were printed (with the credit going to another person).
5. Your Street Fighter 2 coverage is over-done, especially compared to other
arcade games of equal or superior quality.
The general feeling of many people is that, if it was read in EGM, then
it probably isn't true. I realize that you have to market your magazine to
appeal to many different age groups and interests. But the purpose of this
letter is to make you aware of the opinions of many game players in many age
groups, not to force a change. I hope you will consider my opinions of your
magazine and possibly work to change for the better.
Thanks!
