Three Years and Counting...
It’s hard to believe that it has been three years since IMG first began. Back then it was just a hobby. Today, thousands subscribe to IMG. But admitadly, it hasn’t been all smooth sailing for us. The immense volatility of the Mac games market sometimes presents strange situations. The lateness of this issue is a perfect example. Although the issue was done in early February, we made the mistake of committing ourselves to waiting for a demo of Under a Killing Moon. What turned into a few days late turned into weeks. Unfortunately we couldn’t drop the preview, so we decided to wait for a week or so for the demo. Yes, we could have ship the issue without the demo, but I think it was worth the wait. After all, looking at screen shots just isn’t the same as playing a 200 MB demo! In any case, we hope you understand why this issue is late. Because we are on a ten month schedule, we have a little bit of flexibility as to when we publish an issue. The good news is that the March issue should be shipping in early March!
