This is yet another example of how AWESOME the Internet is, as compared to print media. If the Escapist was a print mag, sure, Curt could be a subscriber and write letters to the editors, etc.
But as things are, he's a registered Escapist member, just like the rest of us non-game-company-owning, non-major-league-pitcher slobs. And because the Escapist staff is as member-friendly as they are, each one of us has the same chance as Curt (more or less) of engaging the Escapist staff in criticism, conversation, etc.
Or so it seems that way, which is why I said 'more or less.' I know I've gotten forum replies from both Susan Arendt and Russ Pitts, so as far as I'm concerned, it sure as heck seems like we're all on the same footing when it comes to being able to communicate with the Powers That Be.
And I hope it stays that way. Because that's one of the major reasons I hang around the Escapist: it feels like a genuine community of gamers, top to bottom, instead of just a gaggle of children using The Man's swimming pool.
Looking forward to what Curt puts out. Because in the end he really does just sound like one of us, a gamer.
