I'm confused?! Please explain how Wal-mart dis-approving of game cover art and the game company then proceding to change the cover design to suit wal-mart execs is major advertising. Oh, also, please explain how the statement "If Wal-Mart tells a top-end publisher it won't carry a certain game, the publisher kills that game." is major advertising.

next time have a creditable source..."anonymous" sources lol...atleast have 2 actual people comment on this with their actual names on it. Learn a thing or two about journalism, besides walmart isn't the devil...outsourcing is if you got laid off or w/e.

If I had known this earlier, I would have slit my parents tires so they cant go to Wal-Mart and then gone to every Wal-Mart in one night and burn them all down using rubber matches.

I cant see why Wal-Mart has such a influence on them, I am sure that an "empire" like Sony or EA games have their own initiative in what is good or not to sell. If I was a publisher I would sue Wal-Mart for monopolizing (sp?) and tell Wal-Mart to either go back to selling food or die.
