smileyguy,
Yeah, I understand how editorial and advertising/publishing are kept separate, but ultimately they’re all a team working together to put out a magazine named Maximum PC. Everyone does their part, and when one part of that team drops the ball, it makes everyone look bad.

I felt compelled to write this: the editorial staff and the marketing staff do not intermingle of MaximumPC. The parent company of MaximumPC, Future, has put these stupid policies in place I would assume. I’m sure that Will Smith and the rest of the editorial staff would love to reward loyal subscribers, but they can’t tell marketing how to do their job, just like marketing doesn’t influence what gets reviewed or how it’s reviewed.

ignar,
Unfortunately for us Canucks, paying 2x more than Americans is pretty normal for magazines. I don’t mind paying for it, though of course paying less would always be nice.

Wow, I stopped subscribing it a couple years ago, but I’ve been a fan of the magazine (since Boot days), and I don’t think I’ve paid more than $12/year ever. Shop around. There gotta be better deals for Canadians as well.
