Last week I got a weird message from someone who accused me of making
money out of the Top 100. He wrote that I only pretend to do this work
for pleasure and that I shouldn't fool my voters. He claimed that it
is only money that I'm after and that I am probably trying to sell
this chart to all European magazines.
As you hopefully understand, this is not true. I don't get any money
from whoever for compiling this chart. In fact, in only costs me a lot,
since I buy a lot of magazines to keep me informed about all the new
games and their publishers. And it costs me quite a lot of time too.
I do not complain, for every hobby is supposed to cost time and money.
That's what hobby's are for. All the people who have asked me if they
can publish this chart in their magazine or on their BBS don't have to
pay anything for it. I don't even want to get money for it, since this
could create a situation in which people could demand a new list every
week (and on time), since they are paying for it. I don't want that.
I hope to have cleared this up, in case there were more people who
thought they were being fooled by a money-making organisation.
Jurgen.
