However, they are not that successfull, because casuals seem to simply not buy gaming magazines and publishers don't put enough ads in there.

How is that a BAD thing? Just because some people don't like it doesn't makes it <i>bad.</i> Not everybody likes Mozart, or Watership Down, or Evanescence. It doesn't make them <i>bad.</i> I know…I saw in a magazine, listed as a NEGATIVE point:

I've decided I have better things to do than be shot at. Nothing against the environment/lovely imagery etc. The singing and swimming were quite nice.

This about how the audience experiences what we make. And how our products are being communicated about in the press at large. There are indeed specialist publications that inform us, specialists, in a manner that pleases us. But I'm more concerned with our audience. How (and what) do they learn about games? This is really not about what I like or don’t like.
