Is this what's really happening at such major publications?

I'm starting my own online publication, and even though we're pre-revenue I'm STILL paying our writers.

Why? Because I truly believe in craft and content. Good, fresh, original content should definitely be compensated for.

I'm curious, would you describe your project a little?

Surely! InsertQuarterly.com, we believe gamers are growing up and gaming 'content' in general is feeling a little outdated. We're going to publish original, fresh content from writers in the industry who are passionate about what they do. We're just trying to focus on content (the stuff that matters). Experience doesn't really matter to us, all we care about is if you have something awesome, amazing, insightful, or fresh to share :)

good luck, i think there is enough room for a decent gaming site (RPS is living proof). Just don't get sucked into "we need to give xx percent", that normally ruins the site.

Cute name ^_^

I'll keep an eye on you guys, good luck.
