3.00 per issue US is a deal compared to. 4.75 per issue Canada or 8.75 per issue Foreign. |

You're right - it is a good deal, however you've got to admit that 30 pages barely constitutes a magazine. I could understand dropping the page count by a couple, or maybe 5 - but from 60 a few years ago, then to 44 a couple of months ago, down to 30? If print is too expensive, let's move to an electronic distribution only model and either drop the price or up the content. --- End quote --- Yeah, 32 pages is pretty small... especially since 4 of those pages are cover/back cover/inside front and inside back cover.... BUT it's all about the economics. No ad revenue = less pages. PERSONALLY... I'd like to see Gameroom go back to a mix of full gloss / newsprint paper... with more pages... but Kevin is concerned that advertisers who are used to the high quality paper will not be happy and will leave... understandable concern for sure... Again... someone tell that cheap bastard Gary Stern to advertise his new home machines in Gameroom... PS: Mitch... if I see another "on your knees" review/interview of RAM's products WITHOUT a mention of the issues involved I just might cancel my subscription (j/k of course but COME ON MAN... REALLY?) |

Ever pick up a Cosmo magazine? It's 10 pages of articles and 82 of ads. Is that what you want? ;D Kevin should consider pursuing Stern advertising, as mentioned as well as other vendors. You know, don't wait for advertisers to come to you, you go to them (assuming that's not already the case). Next, is there an iPad version yet? Print media is dying as an industry, so might as well push a digital format (that's more than just a PDF) |
