Further to my last posting, I’ve since found that the boycott extends to more than one adventure gaming site. For the moment, I’m still going to refrain from naming names, but considering that they have said they no longer intend to cover my games, I’m not quite sure why I should do so. (For those who like a bit of detective work, look for a couple of adventure sites that have not covered my recent press release.) I’ve also found out that there are at least a couple of other games not being covered for similar reasons.<\/p>\n
The situation got me thinking some more. Potentially, this could have an affect on my earnings. Maybe not substantially, but while I’m trying to establish Juniper Games, anything could tip the balance between success and failure. If the latter is the case, it will be hard not to see this lack of professionalism as contributing to the problem.<\/p>\n
Of course, I could give in to it and perhaps give myself more chance of a success, but as I’ve already stated, I’m going to stand by my friends.<\/p>\n
I also think that, because of this strange attitude, the adventure gaming fans who are loyal parts of the community are being treated very unfairly – the sites and forums they frequent are no longer going to cover all of the adventure games being created. When the people behind these sites see their own trivial differences as more important than providing a service to the community they’ve built, then I think it heralds the death of that community.<\/p>\n
For a long time now, the various adventure game sites and the community forums have been a real power behind keeping the adventure genre alive. If the communities of loyal and valuable fans are allowed to decay from within like this, then I fear for the whole of the adventure genre.<\/p>\n
Let’s all work hard to prevent the death of the adventure community. The adventure genre needs a vibrant community!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
