I personally think that it is because Sony has virtually stopped That seems to be what the mag is saying to those that ask. You'd think they'd have the decency to tell people the truth, maybe that Sony are too busy at the moment, with the PS2 arrival reasonably soon. I'd like to know how they claim to judge the 'quality', as I'm sure that anything playable and a 'game' (ie. not just pad control and some text printed on the screen - unless that's the idea - and not just a sprite viewer etc) is good enough to be on the disc, and it must be admitted that the games which have been produced recently have easily been above any minimum quality standard. > support for the Yaroze and so can't be bothered to continue sending our games to > the PSM magazine.
