If this is true, please don't make us an after thought. Since we are the games fans/customers right now, it would be nice if we were at least given the illusion we mattered.
Personally (and I don't presume to speak for anyone else), I would like any news (or interviews) to be released here either at the same time or before they are released elsewhere. Also, please don't insult us by saying we can have all the news if we'd only subscribe to the magazine.
Perhaps you should make the magazine subscription a part of the game's cost/release for the first year. Then those of us who would only read it for the OOTP news/updates could decide for ourselves if it was worth subscribing to.
The blame isn't all with SI though. Markus has demonstrated an almost disinterest towards OOTP6 and it's customers the past year (when compared to his support of previous versions). I think that has soured several people and we get further frustrated when something as small as this article being published without any real news being posted here occurs.
Obviously you need to run your business as you see fit, but you must realize the current MO is alienating current customers. I suppose it doesn't matter much because so what if a 10, 20, 50, or 100 fans abandon the game. You'll see the customer base increase much, much more than that. Afterall, it's all about selling the game to the most people possible.
