The word should not be quantity , variety is the correct word
Thanks to matrix , every level of gamers get to enjoy new games
and I salute matrix for that

I'm on Matrix's Press Reviewer list and can therefore get any of their games free to review for my Few Good Men club-
http://www.thefewgoodmen.com/FGMForum/index.php

but that doesn't mean I'm going to be a yes-man and say all their stuff is brilliant!
I say it as I see it, good or bad, and if that gets me kicked off their review list so be it; my first duty is to my fans and to give them fair balanced reviews..:)
Most Matrix titles are okay, but some are buggy glitchy messes, I once told Matrix they should withdraw one such title from sale because it was so messed up, and I refused to review it, but it's still on sale..
I also review other companies games and they get the same treatment, I say it as I see it, and if they don't like it, too bad..;)

Hi @old spike

I think you misunderstood the responses by members here , it does not mean you need to say good stuff on all games release by matrix

I for one are commenting on your remark that Matrix prefer quantity over quality , this is not correct ....

There are many type of wargamer here , some prefer simple and easy , others  prefer historical , complex games

Matrix is doing a great job by offering so many different type of wargames  and at same time help a lot of small company publish their games along the way

and your job as a reviewer is to give an honest review to help us when making purchases

So Matrix and you have a different role here and both are  beneficial to  everyone

Just my little opinion [;)]



p/s I do like your forum a lot ...[:)][:)]

No one is suggesting you turn into a yes man...but I, like silver_bullet, did not agree with your comment that they are about quantity over quality.

With particular regard to your statement
As regards the wargaming community in general, Matrix are getting a reputation as being a company that goes for quantity over quality
I place very little value on your claim that the wargaming community in general sees Matrix like this. I'm not saying you are right or wrong...but your statement seems like a very sweeping one...and imo is way off the mark.

And the quality over quantity statement is ridiculous.
