IGM poor choice of words

IGM's Review Policy CHRIS NEVVTON on November 28, 2013 at 4:43 am For most of the evening of November 27, I was fuming with anger. It was not that people were negatively commenting on the policies that I have enacted with IGM. Rather, it was that people were angry at me and my company for actually having the audacity to conduct business in a manner of my choosing I was originally wanted to backlash and voice my anger and figure out a very polite way to tell people to let me run my business how I wanted to run my business, and to some extent, I did that That leads into why I felt that it was important for me to write this article and step into the forefront. The change in course for IGM was 100% my decision. I believe even today that this is the best course for my company even though a few people have been fairly vocal about the displeasure of my decision. As I made these decisions, there were several factors that I knew going into the purchase of IGM. The biggest understanding was that IGM doesn't make much money. As I tell everyone, we are an indie company just like those who we support and have done for over five years. So for me to continue demanding the highest quality articles and highest frequency news from my team, I simply had to find a way to retain and reward my staff. IGM had been surviving on volunteer labor for years and over the course of many years, we lost many quality writers to larger fish because we could not generate enough funds monthly via advertisement sales, which of course made our viewership drop and continue the cycle. Additionally I wanted to actually offer compensation to the guys on the team who were not writing. We have guys who do marketing, moderate the forums, edit articles, etc. All of them deserve the respect of getting rewarded for their time and loyalty investment to our staff and company The reason that I stepped up and purchased the site was because I love this site. I love our community I love what the indie movement stands for. At any moment, we all pitch together to help another of our breed simply because he is one of us. He has that indie spirit He doesn't want someone telling him how to make his game, "Damn itl I know in my heart that this is awesomel I just need a little more time, a little more money, a Lttle more energy. IGM is no different. More so than my competition, we relate perfectly to the indie developers. They may not be the biggest fish with 500,000 Twitter followers, but they are the underdogs just like us I wanted to tell a short story about a guy I worked for a little time ago. He was developing an loS app and found out that I had contacts with many of the major news sites in the Magic: The Gathering community. He brought me on as a marketer and I worked with him to develop a plan and execution strategy on how to best spread the word about the app. then busted my hump and found the contact information for over 100 mobile app review sites and the next time we released a new version of the program, I distributed my beautiful press release and my super organized media kit and sat back just waiting for the returned emails. When they came... I was shocked. Exactly one site reviewed my content and actually posted about it. Not long after that, I began to receive an overwhelming number of auto-replies that outlined how they were super ultra-busy with all of the incoming review requests and how they couldn't possibly get to everything.. but if you pay them a expedition fee of $150.00- 200.00, they would get to it right away Yes, if you have seen my typical introduction email now you know where I got my model However, what I have done is fixed the problem. While these sites authentically had traffic, they were not publishing anything if you didn't pay the fee. Because I didn't give them money, we never received a revieww, That is not how IGM works What I clearly outlined in my overview is that we require a $50.00 fee to be paid in order to provide compensation to my team. If you don't have the $50.00, that is totally understandable, and I will have one of my writers provide you with a game preview at no cost. However, I also stated in the email which was not yet pointed out, that if you want the review and don't have the money, I accept labor trade instead. I would classify labor as doing a graphic for IGM, write a code or something that the am can do t l be equa trade to both partie from the Developer to get a revlew and Seemingly, the indie community is only looking at the the money goes into Chris' pocket. That is not the case at all. In fact, the other part of my plan was not public information until now: my compensation plan. n the past, we have attempted to develop compensation plans for our team based on production rather than merit. Meaning, for every news, review, etc. you were paid a set amount of money, regardless of the quality or traffic it generated. That didn't work out well because of varying factors but the reality was that the money we set aside to compensate the writers was not belng covered by the product which they produced. Therefore, it was a loss of money for us. We then decided to use a core system, which meant the most productive members of the team received the rest of the unpaid members didn't produce mon worked olunteer b e that you can guess where that led, the e previous Finally, I came across a policy which many of our developers are familiar with: Profit Sharing. Under a profit sharing agreement, the money left over after expenses is distributed through the staff. The theory here is that the more you do to increase the profitabili of the pie. e company, the larger your portior ation, for the review fee policy. The fee b Which leads back to the solution to, and does not just end up in the company coffers. As I mentioned earlier, we too are an indie company. Our goal is not the riches of the owner but the compensation of the staff and the ability to retain my team so that we can continue to provide excellent support to our community. As one developer stated during an interview I conducted before I put the policy into place. As a developer, there is a lot of information out there cautioning against paying for reviews. the same time, developers need to get the word out and sometimes paying for a review is a guaranteed way to get feedback. I like the Idea that paying for a review is supporting an actual person, rather than a company purcha s publi n out of the love, resolve and aggressive c énce can build into a focal point of the industry. I am confident that my decision is right and the the price attached to the fee is low enough to be afordable to most developers and yet enough to add up to a decent part-time wage for my team. If it offends people that I believe that my writers and editors should be afforded compensation, then I don't feel like I should apologize for that. I do believe that a man who works should be affordeda wage. Just like I belleve that developers should receive a fair price for their games. In closing, I wanted to address the concern about the unbiased nature of a paid review The policy is that you are paying for a service, not a positive review. I have worked very diligently with both my staff and the developers that I have worked with this month to ensure complete honesty and transparency. Its all about trust in a relationship. That's how I see it and how I approach it. If you have met me on Twitter, Skype, or anywhere else, then you know that this is how I am. I am about honor and respect ANTOTALY SUR HAT SOUNDED BETTE

Turns out I'm wrong #1 FFVIl screenshot project on hiatus, password: ffvii http:lls48.photobucket.com/albums/f222/Checker138/ Tremendous thanks to Phantom-Pain for the awesome, masterful icon 3DS FC: 1306-4994-1923 checker138 The Monadorator checker138, 5 minutes ago Report Reply Joined: Aug 16, 2003 Messages: 36,923 Date Posted: 7 minutes ago #307 Skavau said: 1 checker138 said Skavau said: Yes there is. That's why Iasked it you think it is fair to ban any comment, not user what I'm getting from this is that it is entirely acceptable for a user to make ant-GG arguments or pro-teminism arguments in your comment section, but no The Monadorator objection to them is permited Joined: Aug 16, 2003 Messages: 36,923 Let me clarity, this isnt a stance on pro-GG, this is a stance on GG. I dont think IGN wants to be associated with GG one way or the other. Randomly bringing up ant-GG stuir is just as ilkely to get you banned/comments deleted rd imagine Is it fair? Idont know, but IGN IS a private company, they can choose to host or not host whatever content they want. They dontwant GG here one way or the other in the comments section it seems. Does that mean that people attacking GG will also find their comments removed? Iassume that people can post Pro-Feminist comments on articles on IGN. Can people post objections to that without reference to GG? So I'm looking into this and apparently I'm mistaken. GG on its own is not a bannable subject. More likely it was bringing up this kind of talk in an unrelated article. The one thing comment mods are for a fact stringent about is staying on topic (at least for some articles), so I'm guessing my whole explanation only applies to GG in a really off-topic article Date Posted: 5 minutes ago #311 Yeah like l said in my opinion's preface, this was just my speculation about what I know about the comments section.I know IGN doesn't reportitake a side on GG, so I assumed OP's posts were related to that stance. But like I said, just my speculation.
