    When it's released in the English INTERNATIONAL, or US market.

    There's no disputing that The Fall should be on that list. But if you're gonna put The Fall on that list even though it's already released in plenty of other markets, games like Kult and Seal of Evil should also be on that list because they're only available in England at the moment, not anywhere else. I might be wrong about Kult, as it might be available internationally (or in Europe), but Seal of Evil is only available in England and China. It's not even available in most of Asia, for that matter.

    <sarcasm>Yes, I want you to make up news. DAC did it with STALKER, you should do it too. </sarcasm>

    Now, when did I ever suggest making up news? I've only mentioned that your coverage of The Fall's has by far dominated most of your news and overshadowed pretty much every other game on your site, with the exception of KOTOR2.

    Hey, maybe I am, but I've still got a good point.

    Fair enough, but don't you think it's still a very, very long shot?

    I'm going to ignore the rest because I'm comfortable about not including SoE in the article. Or Kult.

    No, you didn't start by saying our coverage was dominated by The Fall. You said:

    Work with me - it's hard when you can't even get your own points right. Now, since we're a news site, saying we didn't give SoE any coverage pre-supposes there was news we failed to cover. Since there was no news we didn't cover, I guess you accept you were plain wrong. More so given that we did more coverage than anyone.

    As for The Fall coverage dominating...righteo. You couldn't back that up on your best day.

    As a general point, however, if a developer or publisher keeps us updated or is getting press on the 'net, they'll get coverage because we simply post everything we find. Simple as that.

    That kind of makes your website rather easy to exploit, doesn't it?

    Yup. Just like any other "comprehensive" news site like Blues or Shacknews, albeit on a smaller scale. In fact, the more the merrier - that's why we are there. Nice try, though.

    The really stupid thing is some developers and publishers are too stupid to even release any updates and their game goes unnoticed. Go figure.
