Blaggers

Man, I hate blaggers. People that get into this industry because they want to get a few free games and horde PR freebies. What makes me even more angry is really successful ones, people that managed to time and time again pull the wool over Publishers eyes just so they can get their grubby mits on more freebies.

And where will these goodies go? Will they go to gamers? Members of the Xbox gaming community? The people that really matter in this industry? Nope, they'll go and sit in that blaggers bedroom, collect dust and become a waste.

I've received a fair old amount of freebies in my time and I've given away all but the very worst (Like the Far Cry breath mints). Why do I give them away? Because I want to give to the community of BXB!

What's the point in hoarding all these things for yourself? What are they worth to me? I don't NEED am Oblivion Calendar; an Outfit faceplate or various gaming T-shirts and so I give them away to the people that put me in a place where I can give stuff like that away - the Xbox gamers across the UK.

Frankly, it's selfish and is a symptom of everything that's wrong about the games industry.
