Procuring free games has become a bit of a problem. Basically, no company in its right mind (fill in your own punch line here) is going to agree to put a recent release on our mag, and our supply of older titles has run out.

Strangely enough, the companies that we've been speaking with about replenishing our stock want money in exchange for our using their games! Those greedy bastards ...

Given the cost, and the fact that most of the people who responded to our reader survey indicated that they didn't play the free game, we've decided to drop it for the time being. If we're overwhelmed with mail demanding that we bring it back, we'll adjust.

G.T.
