This doesn't mean he can't or won't say things are good when actually they are bad (just read his SH5 review), and it doesn't mean he's in anybody's pocket. It just means that he has a good relationship and it's in everybody's interest to keep it that way.
That's just what I gather - I don't actually know anything.  |
Thanks Seve,
Thats pretty much what I had assumed too, I just wanted it clarifying. In that case it makes perfect sense to say 'no' to threads discussing cracks! People in the gaming industry aren't going to want Neal over to preview a new upcoming game if his forum is littered with people discussing cracks. In effect, Neal IS a member of the gaming industry, and so (through his forum) should be setting an example!
I think that clears it up quite nicely.
Chaps, there are other forums that discuss cracks, some even discuss how to make your own no-cd patches. But we all need to do is remember that its not what we do here. Afterall, I think that most of us, if we had our own forum, would have certain topics that weren't up for discussion.
