I was just thinking today on my way home from work, so many people go on Special Reserve everyday, and they talk in the chat forums, write a review, write a walkthrough, post cheats, post hints or by games etc.

What if one day (probably will one day), if one day Special Reeserve were out sold by a different new games network, and their profit started to fall and therefore they could no longer throw out there prizes for the best forums, reviews, cheats, hints and walk throughs? as there profit was too low to pay for these free objects?

It is unlikely to happen as Special Reserve is one of the most popualar networks in the world today, but how many people woudln't come back becasue they havn't got there chance of G.A.D anymore?

In the future another company will probably set up something like Gameaday but it will have the opportunity to win 2 games a day or some feeble attempt to remove all SR's loyal helpers.

Basically how may of you would jump boats? and i know some people would if SR went down the pan!

i wouldn't leave , personally i think winning a GAD is way too hard , when the standard from all the other users to soo high , you have to write something both funny , innformative and a bit stupid aswell , which s quite hard. So if GAD did go , i'd treat it how i do now just like any other web forum (and the only one i go to).

I'm only hear because I enjoy discussing the future of gaming with a diverse range of people.























And the free games.
